The Senior Hydrocarbon Scheduler should partner with the Lead Hydrocarbon Scheduler, Dock Coordination Manager, the Logistics Analyst, and the other members of the Scheduling team to proactively participate on special projects requiring his/her expertise, like the implementation of SAP upgrades, testing of new IT solutions (as an example, related to the Mid Office initiative, etc.), the scheduling implementation around new logistical solutions, like leased storage tanks, docks, or blending facilities, etc. For any given hydrocarbon, the Senior Hydrocarbon Scheduler should analyze the forecasted supply/demand requirements, identifying opportunities to: a) optimize inventories within the operating targets established by the specific hydrocarbon Management, b) develop an optimized hydrocarbon movement schedule for each transportation mode required by the circumstances, c) reduce cost and potential inefficiencies, d) jointly optimize use of dock availability and tank space, e) alert the supply team as to potential conflicts and highlight potential solutions, etc.
