• Provide process engineering support to operations to help resolve process bottlenecks and other long-standing issues
• Provide technical expertise to the engineering/design team and other groups within organization as a subject matter expect (SME), mentor other engineers
• Lead scope development and produce basis of design documentation
• Develop PFDs, P&IDs and 3D pipe designs, including pressure drop analysis, Aspen simulation where required, pressure relief valve calculations, and Pipe-Flo modeling
• Produce specifications including equipment, piping and valve selection and sizing, material compatibility analysis, etc.
• Generate process engineering calculations and documentation, including: pressure drop analysis, process system modelling, relief valve selection, etc.
• Develop sequence of operations, control narratives, cause & effect matrices
• Lead or facilities in reactive chemical process hazard evaluations and HAZOP reviews of PSM-covered and other hazardous chemical systems
• Participate in on-field construction and commissioning activities by serving as the point of contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution. This is not an on-call position
