Advanced Chemical Engineer

Natural Gas Liquefaction Engineer

This role focuses on designing and optimizing natural gas liquefaction (LNG) processes and proprietary LNG equipment. Key responsibilities include performing advanced process simulations, conducting thermal design of coil wound heat exchangers, and analyzing relief and depressurization scenarios to ensure safe and efficient operation. The position also supports plant startups, performance testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives.

The engineer collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across commercial, project management, mechanical design, manufacturing, machinery, R&D, and startup functions to execute projects successfully and enhance products and processes. Additional responsibilities include participating in P& and HAZOP studies to ensure safety, operability, and design integrity. The role requires approximately 10–15% domestic and international travel to client offices, contractor locations, and plant sites.

In this role, you will impact the company's growth and competitiveness by driving technical excellence, project leadership, process optimization, collaboration, safety, and innovation in LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Process Technology, ultimately enhancing the quality of Honeywell LNG's offerings.

• Apply engineering expertise to design and implement world-class natural gas liquefaction processes and equipment.
• Perform advanced process cycle simulations for natural gas liquefaction and related systems.
• Complete detailed thermal design of proprietary heat transfer equipment (coil wound heat exchanger) manufactured by Honeywell LNG.
• Conduct relief and depressuring scenario analyses for proprietary equipment using established tools and methodologies.
• Support plant operations through startup, performance testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including commercial, project management, mechanical design, manufacturing, machinery, R&D, and start-up—to ensure seamless project execution, and drive product development and improvement.
• Participate in P& and HAZOPs at contractor offices to ensure safety, operability and design integrity.
• Domestic and international travel to clients' offices, contractors, and plant sites expected about 10-15 percent of the time.

YOU MUST HAVE

• Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from an accredited institution.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in chemical engineering.
• Minimum 3 years of experience with process simulation software.
• Demonstrated expertise in chemical engineering principles and practices.
• Solid understanding of LNG thermodynamics and cryogenic processes, process control and instrumentation, and compressor dynamics and anti-surge control.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

WE VALUE

• 8+ years of experience in LNG liquefaction, cryogenic technology, or chemical manufacturing environment.
• Experience in process design and start-up on large capital projects.
• Ability to drive innovation and continuous improvement.
• Passion for safety, sustainability, and compliance.
• Advanced Engineering degrees such as MS, ME or PhD in Chemical Engineering.
