Intermediate Process Engineer

The Opportunity

Our Energy subsector, a key component of WSP’s ERI (Energy, Resources and Industry) sector, supports clients from coast to coast. From small installations to multi-phase integrated mega projects, we support your upstream, midstream, or downstream oil and gas activities and energy transition markets at all stages of the project lifecycle, anywhere in the world. We are focused on providing design, engineering and environmental services that contribute to climate adaptation and mitigation, sustain the use and protection of water and marine resources, protect and restore biodiversity, and support our clients as they transition to low carbon solutions.

Our experts work together to offer our clients services that live up to our vision: to meet the highest standards in the industry and innovate to exceed them.

Note:

This section describes typical responsibilities for an intermediate level role and may be performed under the guidance of a more senior process engineer.

• Conduct process simulations using appropriate software to optimize system performance and efficiency, including modeling and predicting process behaviors using mathematical models and computer simulations.
• Determine appropriate sizes for equipment based on process requirements and prepare data sheets detailing specifications and requirements of each piece of equipment.
• Perform calculations to determine the optimal size for process lines, considering factors such as flow rate, pressure drop, and temperature.
• Prepare data sheets for instruments used in the process, including instrument specifications, operating conditions, and maintenance requirements.
• Develop Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) to represent the flow of materials through the process, identifying major equipment, process conditions, and flow rates.
• Markup Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) to reflect changes in the process or equipment, including adding, removing, or modifying symbols and labels as necessary.
• Conduct studies to understand and improve the process by analyzing data, identifying bottlenecks, and proposing solutions to improve efficiency and productivity.
• Participate in Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies to identify and evaluate potential hazards and propose mitigation measures.
• Review vendor drawings to ensure they meet process requirements, including checking dimensions, materials, and design details.
• Assist with task-oriented work, potentially leading smaller projects or providing alliance support on specific clients; on larger projects, support the Area Lead to complete tasks above.

• Bachelors Degree or equivalent in Chemical Engineering
• Required minimum 5 years or more experience in the oil and gas industry working as a process engineer — ideally with gas processing plant experience
• P.Eng licensed with APEGA
• Ability to work in a team environment in an intermediate role to develop your skills
• Strong communication and report writing skills
• Organized with a focus on quality, schedule and budget
