Joshua (Josh) Rowan leads a team of four in delivering field development projects for onshore and offshore assets
for Billiton Petroleum. Current focus is subsea and onshore infrastructure projects, gas and oil, in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Permian Basin and Eagle Ford. He serves as an interface between various groups such as engineering, procurement, and finance to plan and control resources, costs, profitability and risk. Career includes project management and control positions with Marathon Oil Corp. and PricewaterhouseCoopers. He advised Chicago

Accomplishments: Was inspired by the 9/11 tragedy during senior year of college to join the U.S. Army after graduation. Served four years as project manager (LT/CPT) in the 82nd Airborne Division. Earned the Bronze
Star for his work in Iraq. Has guest-lectured at Texas State University, Purdue University and the University of Southern California on project control careers. Graduate of Texas A&M with BS in agricultural development,
economics; holds MBA in finance from the University of St. Thomas in Houston.

Most rewarding experience: Military service. “Those experiences reinforced critical skill sets like teamwork, resilience and mental agility. The sense of ‘mission focus’ is what attracted me to capital projects, where
we can plan and deliver complex assets within a defined scope, budget and time.”

Goals: To continue working within the project services profession but increase scope and sphere of responsibility. “As a younger person, this is a very exciting time to be in the industry, to learn and grow during the ‘great crew change.’ BHP Billiton provides tremendous opportunity to work on very large and challenging projects.” Long term, to transition to an executive level position, then pursue a second career as a university professor.
