• Executes PSV sizing, relief hydraulics, and flare/vent system analysis using approved methodologies and tools.
• Supports flare network and back pressure assessments, including blowdown and relief header evaluations.
• Develops relief mitigation strategies to address system deficiencies and improve operability and safety.
• Produces high‑quality, auditable engineering deliverables.
• Effectively collaborates across disciplines and supports client interactions.
• Keeps up to date with the latest developments and technical innovations in process engineering.
• Assists and supports junior personnel within the process engineering team when required.
• Communicates effectively with the process engineering team and project stakeholders, including the customer.
• Identifies issues and problems, develops appropriate solutions, and asks for assistance when required.

• Expertise in Relief & Flare System Design, Over pressure Risk Analysis & Mitigation, and Process Hazard Analysis.
• Highly effective technical and practical engineering skills and ability to consistently deliver quality, accurate and timely work to Worley and its customers.
• Excellent knowledge of the fundamental requirements of the process engineering, and the basic requirements of other engineering fields.
• Excellent knowledge of applicable local and international standards and statutory and regulatory requirements.
• Competent use of process engineering specific software.
• Competent use of relevant software such as MS Office Suite.
• Substantial technical and practical experience in process engineering in the same or similar industry including experience in working in multi-disciplinary projects and teams.
• Strong and positive people leadership.
• Advanced knowledge of process simulation packages such as HYSYS and/or PRO/II, iPRSM, PSPPM, Flare Network Analyzer and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
• 5+ years of relevant process engineering experience, with demonstrated exposure to pressure relief and process safety systems.
• Working knowledge of relief system design standards and codes (e.g., API 520/521/2000, ASME).
• Experience performing PSV sizing, relief load calculations, and basic flare system evaluations.
• Familiarity with process simulation and relief analysis tools (e.g., HYSYS, PRO/II, Aspen Plus, or equivalent; relief tools such as IPRSM, Aspen PIMS/PSPPM/Flare or similar).
• Experience supporting HAZOPs, risk assessments, or process safety reviews.
• Ability to develop and review core process deliverables (PFDs, P&IDs, line lists, calculations, datasheets).
• Strong understanding of process fundamentals (thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer) applied to safe plant design.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to coordinate across disciplines and interface with clients.

• This position is in California.
• Salary Range $110,507-$162,510.
• Benefits: eligible for PTO, 401k, medical, vision, dental, etc.

We will consider for employment all qualified Applicants, including those with Criminal Histories, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the City of Los Angeles' Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance.

• Bachelor’s degree or master’s degree (preferred) in chemical engineering or related field and/or equivalent degree.

• Experience in refining, petrochemical, or upstream facilities with complex relief systems.
