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.
The role will support a portfolio of strategic initiatives focused on improving operational performance, standardizing processes, strengthening data quality and governance, and enabling technology-driven capabilities across Midstream. This may include initiatives involving SCADA, EAM/Maximo, Maintenance & Reliability, operational data and analytics, workflow automation, system integrations, and other emerging technologies.
Working closely with field personnel and functional subject matter experts, the Technical Business Specialist/Senior will help move opportunities from insight to action; assessing current conditions, defining future-state requirements, supporting solution design and implementation, and measuring business outcomes. The position will serve as a critical connection point between operational needs and technology solutions to ensure initiatives deliver measurable value and support EQT Midstream broader Operational Excellence strategy.
The Technical Business Specialist/Senior responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- 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.
- Support the development of metrics, KPIs, dashboards, and performance measures that connect technology and process improvements to measurable operational outcomes.
- 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.
- Assist with 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.
Required Experience and Skills:
- 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.
- Direct exposure to at least one of: SCADA systems, EAM/Maximo, or operational data platforms in an industrial (not office-software) context.
- 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 Experience and 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.
Remote work is being considered for this role excluding the following states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Tennessee unless willing to relocate.
