Context
INEOS O&P Asia is the newest INEOS business and is rapidly evolving. The business is made up of INEOS’ JV involvement in Secco and in the recently announced new JV, INEOS Sinopec Tianjin Petrochemicals Ltd at Nangang. This is currently at latter stages of construction and will be operational as a business early in 2024. The Site is located on the outskirts of the vibrant and growing Commercial City of Tianjin, China.
The JV includes the full business (anticipated sales of c5bn euro) related to the new build 1.2 million tonne mixed feed cracker plus a full suite of derivative assets, and associated utilities and infrastructure.
Opportunities
The Joint Ventures will operate as ‘standalone’ business entities (with cost/profit sharing to each shareholder), and a range of opportunities are available for commercially experienced INEOS employees to contribute in a wide range of roles.
The opportunity at Tianjin to be involved in the creation from startup of this new business will provide a unique opportunity, to be part of this venture; through construction, completion, market entry and into sales and operation from 2024 onwards.
The roles will provide a high level of personal exposure and accountability and a huge opportunity to have a hands-on experience of business in the Chinese market, which, with these new Joint Ventures will be a key pillar of INEOS’ future global footprint.
We are seeking to fill a range of commercial and business management roles for the business within the new Project Sunny JV commercial team in Tianjin Nangang.

Examples of roles - Business Management, Product Management, Product Officers, Procurement Management, Business Planning and Supply Chain. Business areas - Olefins and Aromatics, Polyolefins, ACN, LAO and new speciality products (POE and ultrahigh molecular weight PE).
