Your Opportunity at SECURE
As the Measurement Specialist, you will play a key role in ensuring accurate, compliant, and defensible measurement across SECURE’s Energy Infrastructure assets. Reporting to the Measurement Lead, you will support measurement assurance, data integrity, custody transfer, facility balancing, volumetric reporting, and commercial decision-making. You will administer the Measurement Compliance Plan, investigate measurement exceptions, validate TMS transactions, support audits and system improvements, and collaborate with Operations, Accounting, Engineering, Maintenance, and technical vendors. This role also provides an opportunity to coach junior team members and take ownership of improvements that strengthen measurement performance across the business.

The Team
You will join a collaborative technical team that works closely with field Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Volumetric Accounting, Logistics, and business partners across SECURE. The team values accountability, sound judgment, knowledge sharing, and proactive problem-solving.
Work Environment
This role combines technical analysis, systems and data management, field support, and cross-functional collaboration. While much of the work involves reviewing data, documentation, systems, and compliance requirements, travel to facilities and field locations may be required to support audits, troubleshooting, commissioning, proving, and operational initiatives.

- Complete user acceptance testing (UAT), validate integrations and downstream outputs, document results, resolve defects, and verify system performance following approved changes.
- Investigate measurement anomalies, customer and intercompany inquiries, and data-quality issues by reviewing source data, configurations, and prior results; document findings and recommend corrective actions.
- Coordinate approved volume corrections, estimates, and revised transactions with Operations and Volumetric Accounting while maintaining original data, correction rationale, approval history, and auditability.
Inventory, Balancing, and Measurement Improvement
- Support facility and pipeline balancing for receipts, deliveries, inter-facility transfers, inventories, and oil and water movements; investigate exceptions with Operations and Volumetric Accounting.
- Review tank inventories, product movements, outbound measurement, cut-off timing, and reconciliation data; support pipeline leak detection investigations as directed.
- Complete month-end hydrocarbon blend shrinkage calculations, distribute results, and distinguish calculated shrinkage, confirmed corrections, and unexplained imbalances.

- Maintain accurate, auditable measurement records and take ownership of assigned issues through resolution.
Team Coordination and Project Support
- Provide measurement maintenance priorities and findings to the E&I Maintenance Planner, and review completion evidence and data impacts.
- Support field technicians, advisors, and vendors with calibration, proving, configuration troubleshooting, commissioning, and water-draw activities, within the role’s defined authority.
- Support greenfield and brownfield projects, approved flow-computer and PLC changes, measurement schematic updates, and related coordination with Crude Oil Quality, Logistics, Volumetric Accounting, Marketing, Operations, and technology teams.
- Supervise and develop the Junior Measurement Analyst or Intern, when staffed, by assigning work, coaching investigations, reviewing data validation, UAT and documentation deliverables, and providing feedback in partnership with the Measurement Lead.
