The lives of 600 oil and gas workers will be disrupted. Their valuable skills and talent are at risk of being thrown away. I've seen articles from all sides of the spectrum, pointing the blame in different directions. I don't care about the sides. I care about those who've spent many years: - operating equipment past the original design life reliably, every single day - protecting the safety of those who walk in hazardous environments - supplying energy the world demands while adapting to the changing requirements placed upon them. Everyone affected possesses valuable experience that is desperately needed by tech, manufacturing, and even Hollywood. The challenge is always the same - translating that valuable refinery experience for those who know nothing about the challenges we face every single day. It's a core part of my passion for helping oil and gas talent pivot their careers to their next opportunity. Their talent is too valuable to waste. #engineer #oilandgas #career

Is the latest news about an imminent California oil refinery closure really just a game of chicken? The 139,000 barrel/day Phillips 66 facility near the Port of Los Angeles, supplies 8% of the state’s gasoline, and will shutter late in 2025. I get the logic — the plants are over 100 years old, under scale, likely costly to maintain, and face stringent regulations. The CA government has recently placed a new requirement on refineries that they hold an inventory of mobility fuel products to supply the market when the refineries go off line (for shutdowns, etc). The logic is that the inventory will prevent product shortages and prices spikes. Holding excess inventory is costly — idle inventory generates no income, only cost. The remaining refineries might want to capture that 8% volume if they have the capacity (it represents growth), but will be forced to hold even more unproductive inventory, raising their costs. Who will chicken out next? #oilandgas #oilrefining #energytransition

Did you know there’s a secret 4x4 matrix used to decide who gets dropped during an acquisition? Outside consultants use it to filter the massive lists of employees as fast they can who are coming on board after the deal closes. Awareness of the four groups, the likely outcome of each, and most importantly – which box you are assigned to – is crucial. It’s the difference between a massive career boost after the deal closes or a career crash which could take you years to recover from. The problem is you’re never made aware of this system. The message you’re given is to hold tight while others decide your future. We don’t think that’s fair to project professionals. That’s why I've put together a masterclass with Chris Stasiuk and Geoffrey Cann especially for everyone navigating an acquisition. It will highlight the hidden dynamics of acquisitions so you’re aware of the conversations that are occurring behind closed doors. Don’t let others disrupt your career path.

Listening to what our emotions are telling us is such an important aspect of considering both our personal and career goals and aspirations. Excellent podcast with Karine, an engineer who explores the human side of ourselves!

“Keep calm and continue working. No need to do anything now.” That’s the message that gets repeated as the process slowly moves forward. If you’ve been promised a windfall if you’re let go, it’s likely in your best interest to take a wait and see approach. You don’t want to miss out on the severance package that could provide the financial boost to start something new. But waiting is not the same as doing nothing. It’s important to spend this time planning for the possibilities. You need to carefully prepare for all the scenarios that could play out. We believe in thorough planning at Engineer Career Pivot. That’s why I've teamed up with Chris Stasiuk and Geoffrey Cann to create a unique masterclass providing you with comprehensive information on the process you are navigating. You need the ability to protect your career path, allowing you to provide for those closest to you.

My head's spinning this afternoon... I'm excited! 😃 Another company outside oil and gas has discovered the value of people with an energy background. I'm sad. 😔 Our industry desperately needs more cybersecurity talent to protect and defend the systems delivering a steady stream of energy to the world. The beauty of learning the art of the pivot is that it opens up so many opportunities, allowing you to maintain the momentum you've already built while expanding it into whatever field is providing the best opportunities for you personally. Congratulations, Joshua Moore, CISSP! The advice to take time and build your network is spot on. To your career success!

Acquisitions create a whirlwind of uncertainty, especially for technical professionals. ❓ What will happen to my position? ❓ Where will I end up? ❓ Will I be let go? When a company is being acquired, critical decisions about new roles can only be made after final approval. This leaves you in a state of limbo during the process. Then, after the process is finalized, a mad rush begins to sort things out. Outside consultants pour through lists of people, looking for quick cost savings by cutting duplicate titles. Then they mash together new teams as fast as possible before they head out to the next company to do it all over again. It’s not a pretty process. It’s brutal and cutthroat. Engineer Career Pivot believes your unique skills and talent shouldn’t be glossed over by outsiders who don’t appreciate your value. That’s why we created a masterclass to reveal the conversations going on about you right now behind closed doors. ✔️ We’ll reveal the information you’re not getting in official updates from HR, Communications and Legal ✔️ We’ll reveal the entire timeline and what to expect with each milestone. ✔️ We’ll highlight the potential pitfalls so you can avoid making mistakes Don’t let the lack of actionable information hinder you or hold back your career development. Register for a free 45-minute masterclass presented by Geoffrey Cann, Chris Stasiuk and myself. It's designed to empower you professionally during this turbulent time! * Friday, October 25th, 2024 * 12pm Eastern, 11am Central, 10am Mountain, 9am Pacific   https://lnkd.in/dXySA4fD #oilandgas #acquisition #careertips

Arrogant statements from O&G execs irritate me more than nails on a chalkboard. "We can just do it better" were COP's comments on the acquisition during Gastech this week. That's blatantly disrespectful to all the engineering, accounting, IT, and field workers who go to work at Marathon Oil every single day, helping deliver a steady source of energy the world demands. It's why I'm passionate about helping professionals with a technical background engineer their own personal career pivot. You don't have to work for a leadership team that takes you for granted. You can spend the rest of your career respected, working on the most interesting projects the world has to offer. When you learn how use your technical expertise to position yourself for future areas of high growth, you'll be in high demand. You'll never have to worry about getting outsourced or downsized ever again. Your career will be in your hands, not dictated by someone at another company who doesn't know the value you bring. That's the power of the Engineer Career Pivot Program. #gastech #careerpivot #acquisition
