Job description

Senior Production & Supply Chain Planning Engineer

Industry Information Technology and Services

???? Doha, Qatar

???? Qatar Energy LNG Oil, Gas & Energy Infrastructure Full-time On-site

The Context Qatar Energy LNG, the world's premier liquefied natural gas producer, is hiring a Senior Production & Planning Engineer to oversee integrated supply chain planning, storage allocation, and vessel scheduling in Doha. Operating within a high-pressure, 24/7 commercial environment, the role ensures seamless coordination between upstream producers, storage terminals, port operations, and global customer delivery commitments.

What The Role Covers

• Integrated Supply Chain & Loading Scheduling You develop reliable loading schedules for Ras Laffan Terminal Operations (RLTO) facilities, aligning tank storage inventories, rundown rates, and vessel berthing schedules. You actively resolve berth and loading conflicts by coordinating with RLIC producers, Qatar Energy Sales Operations, and port authority pilots to ensure zero operational disruption.
• Inventory Management & Production Forecasting You build short-term and long-term production forecasts for Non-LNG products and refinery feedstock balances across operating terminals. You continuously monitor actual versus forecast rundown performance, updating models daily and operating specialized terminal planning systems (HIMS) to guarantee high inventory accuracy.
• Disruption Mitigation & Process Governance You analyze planned and unplanned maintenance activities across storage and loading infrastructure to protect business continuity. In cases of unexpected facility downtime or operational bottlenecks, you formulate rapid mitigation plans, update standard scheduling procedures, and ensure full compliance with joint-venture agreements.

Candidate Profile

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Chemical, Mechanical, Industrial, or related discipline)
• Minimum of 6 years of experience in oil and gas commercial operations and shipping, with at least 5 years specifically as a product or oil scheduler
• Proven track record in short-and long-term planning and scheduling for petroleum, LNG, or refined products
• Direct experience managing complex supply chain constraints, berth allocation, and tank farm inventory management
• Strong analytical and stress-management skills, with the ability to operate under time pressure in a fast-paced environment

Why This Role Stands Out - Supply Tech Nexus

Supply Tech Nexus sits at the core of global energy supply, making terminal planning and vessel scheduling in Ras Laffan a critical node in international trade. Managing the scheduling of large-scale hydrocarbons requires precision and constant real-time alignment between production facilities, marine logistics, and global commercial trade desks.

Engineering professionals with specialized experience in hydrocarbon scheduling, terminal inventory modeling, and port berthing management are highly sought after across the Middle East. Positioned at the intersection of technical logistics and commercial shipping, this role offers an exceptional platform for long-term career growth within world-scale energy supply chains.
