This position is relied upon for technical expertise to support strategic plans and projects for industrial facilities (Refining/Chemical/Mid Stream/ Other) utilization, optimization, and process safety improvements.

The project portion of this position will focus on early phase (FEL 0-2) process design for projects. The role will also assist in evaluating / defining of more complex unit and industrial system issues, along with mentoring less experienced engineers on problem solving and definition. This position will report to the VP of Project Development.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Develop design basis and front-end engineering for minor and major capital projects. Examples include long term capital project planning, conceptual project development, technology selection, and management of detailed engineering.

Serve as project manager for early phase project work as required. Lead or participate in facility process improvement studies.

Perform economic evaluations for options.

Carry out various studies to improve plant safety (PHA, LOPA), reliability, and economics.

Prepare process design basis and specifications for revamps and new projects (e.g. hydraulic studies/heat and material balances, sizing of equipment). Utilize process simulators for evaluation of unit performance and design changes.

Develop procedures and support for commissioning of new facilities. Facilitate agreements on operating philosophies and control strategies on plant units.

Mentor less experienced process engineers in use of tools, trouble-shooting, process monitoring.

Lead or coordinate refinery performance studies.

Present findings / reports to client organizations, technical and executive audience.
