Technical Business Specialist/Senior Business Specialist

About the role

The Technical Business Specialist/Senior will play a key role in advancing Operational Excellence and Technology initiatives across Midstream Operations & Engineering and Insight to Action. This position will bridge business operations, field execution, data, and technology by working directly with Midstream Departments, and other stakeholders to understand current-state processes, identify improvement opportunities, and translate business needs into scalable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Operations, Engineering, Midstream Control Center, IT, and Shared Services to identify, assess, and prioritize Operational Excellence and Technology opportunities across Midstream.
• Conduct field and business assessments to understand existing processes, workflows, system utilization, data dependencies, and operational pain points.
• Map and evaluate "As-Is" and "To-Be" processes, identifying opportunities for standardization, simplification, automation, and improved technology enablement.
• Translate operational and business needs into clear business requirements, functional requirements, use cases, process designs, and implementation priorities.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret operational, asset, and system data to identify performance gaps, root causes, trends, and improvement opportunities.
• Support strategic technology initiatives across platforms such as SCADA, EAM/Maximo, operational analytics, workflow solutions, system integrations, and emerging technologies.
• Evaluate opportunities to leverage automation, advanced analytics, condition monitoring, and other technology capabilities to improve efficiency, reliability, visibility, and decision-making.
• Build strong working relationships with field crews, engineers, planners, control center personnel, technology teams, and other stakeholders to ensure solutions reflect real operational needs and field conditions.
• Facilitate cross-functional working sessions to gather requirements, align stakeholders, resolve process or technology gaps, and move initiatives from concept through implementation.
• Support data quality, governance, and standardization efforts across Midstream systems to establish trusted and scalable operational data foundations.
• Aid in business case development, solution evaluation, implementation planning, testing, change management, and adoption for Operational Excellence and Technology initiatives.
• Develop clear reporting, analysis, presentations, and recommendations that translate complex operational and technical information into actionable insights for Midstream leadership.
• Track initiative progress, risks, dependencies, benefits, and outcomes to ensure projects remain aligned with broader Midstream Operations & Engineering and Insight to Action objectives.
• Prioritize high-value opportunities across a dynamic portfolio of initiatives, balancing immediate operational needs with EQT Midstream longer-term technology and Operational Excellence roadmap.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, business, engineering, or a closely related field required.
• 3-5+ years of Midstream, pipeline, or upstream oil & gas operations experience.
• Must be able to speak the language of field operations, not just business analysis in the abstract.
• Demonstrated experience mapping current-state ("As-Is") and future-state ("To-Be") business processes.
• Track record translating operational/field needs into formal business requirements, functional requirements, or use cases.
• Experience running or facilitating cross-functional requirements-gathering sessions with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable working directly with operational/asset data; cleaning, analyzing, and drawing conclusions, not just consuming dashboards someone else built.
• Experience building or contributing to KPIs, metrics, or performance dashboards tied to business outcomes.
• Familiarity with data quality/governance concepts (ownership, standards, trust) at a practical level, not just theoretical.

Preferred Skills

• EAM/Maximo experience - Work order management, asset data structures, or admin-level familiarity.
• SCADA experience - Understanding of how field telemetry/control systems feed into business processes and data pipelines.
• Workflow automation or system integration projects; has actually helped implement or improve a tool, not just used one.
• Experience tracking multiple initiatives simultaneously; progress, risk, dependencies, benefits in a portfolio-style environment rather than single-project work.
• Business case development or cost-benefit analysis experience.
• Exposure to implementation cycles: solution evaluation → design → testing → change management → adoption (full lifecycle, not just the front-end analysis).
• Strong track record building trust with field personnel, crews, planners, control center staff who are typically skeptical of office-driven change.
• Ability to produce clear, leadership-ready reporting and presentations that translate technical/operational complexity into decisions.
• Comfortable being a "connector" role no direct technical build authority, but responsible for aligning IT, Operations, Engineering, and Shared Services around a shared solution.
