| Job Description |
Summary
The general scope of work for Process Engineering is the performance of design calculations and the representation of results on drawings to ensure that the project design criteria are met. Details on this activity and other functions follow. Most projects performed require processing continuous fluid flow systems and are most often involved in oil & gas production or the subsequent midstream processing required to produce salable fluids.
Mathematically modeling fluid system behavior using computer process simulation programs such as Hysys is central to process design. Designing equipment, understanding any reactions taking place, installing control systems, and starting, running and upgrading the processes are all part of the job. Protecting the environment and safety are also significant concerns for process engineers.
Requirements
-Capable of running HYSYS, developing PFD's and P&ID's; familiar with API RP14C; experience with separation, dehydration, gas equipment sizing and line sizing. Offshore experience preferred but not required.
•Demonstrated, proven skills in the areas process design and engineering, start-up and performance testing
•BS in Chemical Engineering
•Knowledge and handling of data based process calculation programs are preferred
•Ability to prioritize workload to meet deadlines
Responsibilities
Work is project-oriented and an engineer may be working on a number of projects, all at various different stages, at any given time. Project types for an Engineering & Construction Contractor (E&C) operating in the upstream and mid-stream oil and gas markets typically include modifying and upgrading existing facilities to handle changed conditions/business opportunities as well as designing new facilities to meet client requirements. Clients include national oil companies, major international oil companies, independent producers, and pipeline companies.
Typical work activities will include:
•reviewing existing data to see if more research and information needs to be collated, and assessing the adequacy of the existing processes and equipment;
•designing, installing and commissioning new production units, monitoring development (i.e., modifications and upgrades) and troubleshooting existing processes;
•applying the principles of thermodynamics as well as mass, momentum and heat transfer to process and equipment design;
•using computer modeling and simulations to design and evaluate processes and operating systems for the manufacture of products;
•preparing reports, flow diagrams and charts;
•assessing the availability of raw materials and the safety and environmental impact of the plant;
•managing the cost and time constraints of projects;
•supporting the conversion of small-scale processes into commercially viable large-scale operations;
•assuming responsibility for risk assessment, necessitating hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies, for the health and safety of both company staff and the wider community;
•monitoring and improving the efficiency, output and safety of a plant;
•ensuring the process works at the optimum level, to the right rate and quality of output, in order to meet supply needs;
•making observations and taking measurements directly, as well as collecting and interpreting data from the other technical and operating staff involved;
•assuming responsibility for environmental monitoring and ongoing performance of processes and process plant;
•ensuring that all aspects of an operation or process meet specified regulations;
•liaising with other process engineers, perhaps working on associated plants;
•working closely with other specialists, including: engineers responsible for plant maintenance; commercial colleagues on product specifications and production schedules; and the operating crew
This is a 6 month contract. |
