More Good Reasons

Employee Value Proposition
Par Pacific is a growing energy company that provides more opportunity and career growth potential because of our ambition, entrepreneurial mindset, our premier market position, and our integrated business systems.

Working at Par Pacific is different. Because Par is a smaller energy company, employees have the opportunity to make a great impact on the business and to influence decisions. People truly have amazing careers at Par because they are exposed to all areas of the company and are connected to many of the industry experts.

Latitude & expertise
This is not a role where we will be telling you what to do. Instead, you'll have the latitude to build and grow the operation based on your knowledge and experience to ensure we're going down the right path. We will look to you to understand how to move the ball forward. Likewise, the growth of the operation will inform the growth and advancement of your position.

Unique culture
There is nothing ordinary about Par Pacific – an unorthodox niche player in the energy space that drives operations from production-to-delivery. And there’s certainly nothing ordinary about Par Pacific people. If you’re at Par, you’re a driven, creative-thinking, hardworking, entrepreneur-minded professional that loves to win. If that describes you, you'll fit right in!

Great place to live and work
Because Par Pacific is located in some of the most beautiful places throughout the country, our employees get to make these places their home and enrich their lives. You'll work in Newcastle, the county seat of Weston County, which offers the neighborly culture you'd expect in a small town. We're proud of our great schools, low cost of living, and even lower cost of housing. If you love the outdoor life, there aren't too many places to beat Newcastle.

Opportunistic growth strategy
At Par Pacific, we look for operations with strong fundamentals and great employees who can move a business forward. Our management team has deep experience in the energy industry, as well as in leading mergers, acquisitions and integrations of newly acquired companies.

Excellent compensation
In addition to competitive compensation and bonus opportunity, we offer comprehensive benefits that include medical and dental insurance; life and AD&D insurance; retirement savings plans; employee assistance programs; and more. In addition, we provide safety glasses, Nomex flame resistant coveralls, earplugs, gloves, steel toe shoes, hard hats and respirators as needed.

Keys to Success

Success in this role requires an individual with vision and exceptional communication skills to work with leadership and stakeholders both internal and external. You will take an entrepreneurial approach, looking at this as a start-up opportunity, even though you'll work within a well-established business. As with any new initiative, a thick skin and the drive to continue to move the needle even when facing challenges will be essential.

You should be able to successfully navigate current operational processes and procedures and either modify them or develop new policies to achieve peak operational efficiency within the propane gas operation. We have a strong propane operation in Hawaii, which you can also model, but we want to hear your strong ideas built on real-world, hands-on experience. This will be your role to own, demonstrate your talent and runway for growth, and make a long-range impact of which you can be proud.

Ultimately, you will develop and execute a plan that will bring profitable manufacturing and retail operations to the local market.
