About The Position

The ECI Group's Gulf Coast Professional Services Network is seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst for the STUSCO Trading Operations Terminal Inventory Management initiative across North America. The position is based in Houston and is a contract role estimated to last seven weeks, from November 13, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The posting states that the requirement is expected to continue through the end of 2027. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents. No C2C candidates will be considered. The Senior Business Analyst will be a key interface between North America Trading Operations stakeholders, Americas Commercial Operations Transformation, IDT functional teams, terminal stakeholders, and external vendor DTN. The role focuses on eliciting and translating business, data, integration, and reporting requirements into implementable solutions, especially for terminal inventory data, vendor dashboards, and future internal reporting through the EDP environment. Initial work will include understanding operators' and schedulers' requirements, translating them into requirements for the vendor dashboard, and supporting reporting based on curated EDP data. The BA will also support testing of data quality and dashboard functionality. The initiative aims to improve aggregation, standardization, integration, and reporting of terminal and pipeline information across North America. DTN's Terminal Inventory Management System (TIMS) is planned to aggregate data such as liftings, opening and closing inventory balances, pipeline receipts and schedules, and other terminal inventory information. DTN will provide aggregated information from external supply-point terminals and pipelines through APIs and dashboards. The broader solution will convert relevant data to the PIDX standard for ingestion into the Terminal Cockpit and PDX EDP environments, enabling internal reporting and dashboard capabilities. Phase 1 in 2026 covers contracting and implementation of the external SaaS TIMS, initially using the vendor's dashboard. Phases 2 and 3 in 2027 are planned to integrate terminal data into Terminal Cockpit and PDX and enable internal dashboards and reporting. The overall scope covers approximately 239 North American terminals, including 57 Phase 1 terminals and additional terminal populations in later phases.
