About The Team

Our 18,000 employees work in over 60 countries with one corporate mission, to "co-innovate tomorrow". We are looking for dynamic colleagues who share our passion for technology and care for our planet. In return, we offer you great career opportunities to grow yourself in a truly global culture where respect, value creation, collaboration, integrity, and gratitude are highly valued and exhibited in everything we do.

The role will provide dedicated support to sales opportunities related to Advanced Process Control (APC) / Multi-variable Control (MVC), Real-Time Optimization (RTO), and broader Digital Solutions—including Process Digital Twin, Operator Training Simulator (OTS), Plant Dynamic Simulation, Steady-State Simulation, Energy Management, and Asset Analytics & Business Intelligence—ensuring uninterrupted delivery and consistent proposal quality.

• A candidate with hands-on experience in Yokogawa APC product PACE (or equivalent APC platforms) will be a strong advantage.

• Maintain Digital Solutions proposal workload balance and continuity.
• Ensure uninterrupted technical and commercial support for ongoing and new Digital Solutions opportunities.
• Provide focused expertise across defined solution domains—with primary depth in APC / optimization—avoiding dilution of technical depth and business value articulation.

• Lead APC solution design and technical architecture for Digital Solutions proposals, including controller strategy, constraint handling, MV/CV pairing philosophy, and deployment approach.
• Support end-to-end proposal development, including technical write-ups, compliance, and clarifications—especially for APC scope, licensing, and implementation methodology.
• Develop and articulate business value propositions aligned with customer operational and financial objectives (e.g., throughput uplift, energy reduction, quality variability reduction, constraint management, flare minimization).
• Prepare costing, sizing, and estimation for Digital Solutions offerings including:
• APC / MVC engineering effort estimates (surveys, controller design, commissioning, performance tests)
• Required infrastructure (servers/VMs, network considerations, cybersecurity basics)
• Software licensing/subscriptions (including renewals where applicable)
• Support sales strategy and opportunity positioning in coordination with sales and business development teams, acting as the technical focal point for APC and optimization.
• Ensure consistency, quality, and timely delivery of proposals across assigned solution domains.
• Participate in solution presentations to customers, confidently explaining APC fundamentals, benefits, typical KPIs, and risk mitigations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (mandatory).
• 5–7 years of relevant experience in industrial process optimization / APC / control solutions or process / operations engineering.
• Strong working knowledge of process simulation tools such as HYSYS / Petro-SIM and/or other process simulation software (beneficial for APC studies, inferentials, constraint identification, and validation).
• Experience in basic engineering, FEED, and detail engineering projects.
• Strong understanding of:
• Process operations and control (PID fundamentals, control narratives, unit constraints, operating envelopes)
• APC / MVC concepts (step testing, model identification, tuning, constraint prioritization, move suppression, disturbance handling)
• Plant simulations, energy management, digital twins, and industrial asset analytics
• Strong…
