Your role will involve producing process design deliverables such as optioneering studies, process calculations, mass balances, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation drawings, sketches, and basis of design reports to achieve optimum project solutions. You will undertake outline or detailed process engineering design, attend site visits for data acquisition and meetings with site operators, provide technical input to procurement, support Project Managers in client discussions, liaise with technology providers and vendors, and participate in HAZOP, HAZID, ENVID, and SWIFT sessions. Additionally, you will provide technical guidance, coaching, and supervision of junior staff, work collaboratively with other disciplines to deliver projects on time, cost, and quality expectations, and ensure integration of process engineering requirements into overall engineering design. You will also contribute to proposals, work scopes, schedules, budgets, and maintain client liaison to ensure their needs are met.
