- Takes the initiative to coordinate the detailed design development of a system with other engineering disciplines while managing workload and meeting schedule due dates.
- Manages teams of process engineers and be responsible for the delivery of project deliverables (PFDs/UFDs, HMB, equipment sizing, selection and specification, PSVs and flare system sizing and specification, etc.) within the agreed job hour budgets and schedules.
- Manages and leads complex technical discussions with third parties (customer, licensors, suppliers and regulators) in order to facilitate appropriate technical decisions.
- Identifies issues (problems, value improvement opportunities) and helps clarify areas of complexity during all phases of the engineering design work.
- Understands multi-disciplinary technical issues and be able to provide innovative technical solutions to resolve these issues.
- Developing and/or checking overall plant and unit simulations using standard process simulation programs (Hysys, Pro II, Unisim, and/or Promax), including development of H&MBs.
- Developing and/or checking Process Flow Diagram (PFDs) and Utility Flow Diagrams (UFDs) being able to explain selected flow configuration.
- Developing and checking calculation of equipment sizes including vessels, columns, heat exchanger requirements, and packaged equipment specifications.
- Attendance and input at major reviews such a PFD/P&ID reviews, HAZOPs, and 3D model reviews. Representing the process engineering discipline and being able to explain process design questions to clients and other disciplines.
- Development of relief load narratives, relief load calculations, load summaries and relief valve datasheets.
- Development of offsites and utility design including consumptions and the overall utility summary.
- Development of alarm and trip setpoint and process safety time calculations.
Skills and Qualifications
- A recognized masters degree in chemical engineering from an accredited college or university
