Sr. Process Engineer (19004)

Job Summary:

The Sr. Process Engineer is responsible for leading the design and execution of process systems, including developing design bases, evaluating process options, and optimizing unit performance. This role performs and oversees a full range of process engineering activities—such as simulations, heat and material balances, equipment sizing, and safety studies—while ensuring alignment with industry standards and project requirements. Working with minimal supervision, the Sr. Process Engineer coordinates across disciplines, supports project planning efforts, and provides technical leadership and guidance to junior staff to ensure consistent, high-quality project deliverables.

Responsibilities:

• Leads the design of a process unit, including establishing process design basis, development of process options, and optimization of selected design.
• Has a comprehensive understanding of principles, theories, concepts, and industry practices and standards and their application; responsible for performing and overseeing all aspects of engineering and design.
• Works under minimal supervision; work is reviewed for adequacy on completion.
• Provides technical guidance to less experienced design and engineering personnel.
• Performs and oversees all process engineering functions including feasibility & optimization studies, process simulations & heat/material balances, process equipment sizing, process data for instrument & mechanical data sheets, hydraulic piping line sizing, relief calculations & flare network modeling, and other philosophies/reports.
• Supports project management with reporting, scheduling, staff planning, and coordination.
• Ensures that engineering calculations and drawings are in accordance with industry codes and standards.
• Assigns tasks to and supervises the work of less senior process personnel.
• Initiates and maintains regular communication between the process team and all other engineering disciplines to ensure quality of work and that consistent technical content is maintained for all design documents/data throughout the project.
• Prepares drawings such as BFDs, PFDs, and P&IDs.
• Leads and participates in HAZOP, HAZID, and SIL rating studies.
• Develops suitable process conditions and specifications (e.g., pressure vessels, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, fired heaters, and distillation columns).
• Maintains effective communication with project team members and with the customer.
• Performs related duties, as needed.
