The Senior Process Engineer shall manage and execute the process engineering scope for oil and gas, energy and industrial projects.
The role covers process plant design, technical studies and engineering support to other disciplines and operating facilities.
Key Responsibilities
Process Design: Prepare and check process engineering deliverables, including but not limited to heat and material balances, process flow diagrams (PFDs), and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).
Project Execution: Plan and deliver process engineering activities within the agreed schedule and budget for feasibility studies, front-end engineering design (FEED), EPC, EPCM and project management consultancy (PMC) assignments.
Operations Support and Troubleshooting: Provide day-to-day technical support to operating facilities, investigate the root causes of plant incidents and develop solutions to remove bottlenecks and optimise plant performance.
Discipline and Stakeholder Coordination: Coordinate process engineering interfaces with mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation and HSE teams. Participate in hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies and liaise with clients, contractors and vendors on process engineering matters.
Supervision and Mentoring. Guide junior and graduate process engineers, check their work and support their technical development.
Codes and Standards. Verify that process designs and safety calculations comply with applicable codes and standards, including relevant API, ASME, ISO and NFPA requirements. Additionally, demonstrate familiarity with Shell DEPs, and other IOCs design guidelines and standards.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
Experience: Minimum 10-15 years of experience in process engineering, with at least 5 years in a lead role for oil and gas pipeline projects.
Certifications: Professional Engineering (PE) certification or equivalent is a plus.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in process simulation tools such as Aspen HYSYS, HTRI, or equivalent. Strong understanding of international codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API, ISO).
Soft Skills: Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities.
Key Competencies:
Strong technical acumen in process design and safety engineering.
Proven ability to lead and manage multi-disciplinary teams.
Effective stakeholder management and collaboration skills.
Attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work.
Proactive and solutions-oriented approach to engineering challenges.
