• Provide subject-matter expertise on oil and gas operations, digital transformation, and AI use cases.
• Help identify where AI agents, automation, or analytics could add value across upstream, downstream, HSE, maintenance, production, or capital project workflows.
• Support discovery conversations by asking relevant industry-specific questions and helping qualify client needs.
• Advise Xenon7 internally on industry context, client pain points, and solution positioning.

Requirements:
• 10+ years of experience in the oil and gas industry, ideally from an operator, EPC, oilfield services company, or major consulting firm.

• Strong background in upstream, downstream, or industrial operations.
• Experience with at least two of the following areas: Predictive maintenance, HSE compliance reporting, Capital project data management, Field operations optimization or Production intelligence
• Familiarity with oil and gas data environments, such as OSIsoft PI, SCADA systems, AVEVA, SAP PM, Maximo, or similar platforms.
• Working knowledge of AI, automation, machine learning, or AI agents applied to asset management, inspection workflows or operational analytics
• Strong customer-facing communication skills and confidence speaking with senior client stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in a flexible, occasional advisory capacity.
• Advanced English level.

Nice to Have

• PhD or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Operations, Environmental Science, Data Science, or a related field.
• Background in digital transformation programs at companies such as Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies, Saudi Aramco, SLB, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Wood, Worley, Accenture, Deloitte, McKinsey, or similar.

Benefits:
• Flexible, occasional part-time engagement, estimated around 4 hours per week as needed.

• Remote collaboration.
• Opportunity to work at the intersection of oil and gas, AI agents, automation, and industrial innovation.
