Integrated refining and renewable fuels producer with 1,600+ retail stations
HF Sinclair operates a diversified energy production foothold spanning six U.S. states plus Canada and the Netherlands, with refining capacity, renewable diesel plants, and specialty lubricant manufacturing feeding over 1,600 branded fuel stations. The tech stack reveals a capital-intensive operation: heavy industrial control systems (SCADA, DCS, PLC, Allen-Bradley, ClearSCADA, Wonderware InTouch) sit alongside enterprise platforms (SAP S/4HANA, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Power BI), suggesting active efforts to link plant-floor automation to business analytics. Engineering-heavy hiring (76 roles) paired with a backlog of plant modifications, flare system upgrades, and refinery capital projects signals sustained capex deployment and operational optimization work.
