• Perform calculations to determine the optimal size for process lines, considering 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, analyzing process data, identifying bottlenecks, and proposing solutions to improve efficiency.
• Participate in Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies, identifying and evaluating potential hazards and proposing mitigation measures.
• Review drawings provided by vendors to ensure they meet process requirements, including checking dimensions, materials, and design details.
• Support smaller projects or act as alliance support on larger projects; on larger projects, assist the Area Lead to complete tasks above.

• Bachelor’s 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
