About the role
bp’s modernized Whiting refinery is the largest in the Midwest and a critical supplier of fuel in the region. Whiting has been a key anchor of the northwest Indiana economy, as well as the surrounding community. Located on the Lake Michigan shoreline in northwest Indiana, not only is Whiting the largest refinery in the Midwest — it also makes enormous contributions to the region’s transportation network. The Whiting refinery can process around 440,000 barrels of crude oil every day. Everyday the refinery produces around 10 million gallons of gasoline, 4 million gallons of diesel and 2 million gallons of jet fuel.
Taking on the role as Process Engineer at our Whiting Refinery means designing projects and supervising plant development to ensure the reliability of our refining technologies. Alongside a strong technical degree in Chemical Engineering, that means having a global view for wide-scale projects or a sharp eye for detail to aid in more niche roles in a specific refining process area.
As a Process Engineer at Whiting, you will:
Aid our manufacturing and production teams by supervising day-to-day operations, evaluating unit targets & constraints
Support and optimize operating process plants or facilities and working closely with other areas and disciplines involved in the business
Directly contribute to our companies ambition towards net zero by optimizing energy, improving safety and supporting continued reliability improvement efforts
Use your chemical engineering foundation and problem-solving ability across the wider refinery to integrate value across the broader bp portfolio
