• Develop and maintain inspection and measurement guidance for regional operations teams, ensuring consistent global application of company expectations and industry best practices.
• Provide senior‑level coaching and technical guidance to internal teams on marine measurement principles, cargo inspection practices, contract interpretation, and loss prevention.
• Identify systemic measurement risks and lead improvement initiatives to reduce unknown losses, improve reconciliation accuracy, and strengthen commercial transparency.
• Support global and regional oil loss performance stewardship, including analysis of loss trends, recurring root causes, inspection gaps, and opportunities for prevention.
• Participate in or lead external industry working groups related to hydrocarbon measurement, marine cargo inspection, sampling, testing, and loss control standards.
• Support measurement audits of company‑operated assets, marine terminals, third‑party facilities, laboratories, and inspection service providers.

• Support troubleshooting of complex measurement systems, laboratory analytical equipment, shore tanks, meters, proving systems, vessel measurement practices, and custody‑transfer processes.
• Provide technical input during new customer, supplier, terminal, or market‑entry engagements where measurement, inspection, or loss‑control risks may impact commercial value.
• Influence senior internal and external stakeholders without direct authority, using technical credibility, commercial judgment, and practical industry experience.
