EET (Essar Energy Transition) vision is to be the leading producer of low carbon fuels and establish a blueprint energy transition hub in the North West. EET plays a major role in supplying the North West and the wider UK with essential fuels. We produce over 16% of the UK’s road transport fuels, supply key feedstocks to the petrochemical industry, and are investing heavily in low‑carbon energy solutions.
We work with major retail fuel brands, supermarkets, Manchester Airport, leading airlines, and regional transport operators. We are also a key partner in the HyNet project, helping to deliver the region’s low‑carbon future.
With over 900 skilled colleagues, we offer a strong safety culture, technically challenging work, and some of the best training in the energy sector.
As Asset Manager, you will take full accountability for the safe, reliable and cost-effective performance of a defined asset area at Stanlow. Leading a multidisciplinary team, you will drive operational excellence across HSE, production delivery, asset integrity and financial performance.
You will act as a visible safety leader, championing Goal Zero and ensuring all activities are delivered in line with site standards, legislative requirements and best practice. Working closely with maintenance, engineering and planning teams, you will ensure delivery of the production plan while continuously improving efficiency, availability and operational performance.
As a member of the Operations Leadership Team, you will play a key role in shaping site-wide strategy, contributing to business objectives and leading cross-site initiatives. You will also be responsible for embedding a strong performance culture, developing team capability and driving digital and process improvements across your asset area.
This is a highly visible leadership role requiring strong operational judgement, stakeholder engagement and a focus on delivering sustainable results in a complex, high-hazard environment.

- A data-driven approach, with the ability to interpret performance metrics and translate them into actionable improvements
You will be confident operating at a senior level, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, and driving alignment across multiple disciplines. A degree in a relevant technical discipline (or equivalent experience) is essential; chartered status is desirable.
Above all, you will be a visible leader who can set direction, drive accountability and create a culture focused on safety, performance and continuous improvement.
