  • Hydraulic and line sizing calculations
  • Process datasheets, including equipment and instrument datasheets
  • Operating and control narratives
• Perform or oversee process simulations and design calculations using industry-standard tools (e.g., Aspen HYSYS or equivalent).
• Participate in and support HAZOPs, safety reviews, and Management of Change (MOC) processes, including evaluation of technical risk, operability impacts, and required design updates.
• Act as Lead Process Engineer for assigned project, unit(s), or scopes of work, providing technical direction, coordinating deliverables, and supervising the work of assigned engineers.
• Serve as a client-facing technical representative, leading or participating in P&ID reviews, design workshops, and technical review meetings with clients and third parties.
• Interface directly with operations, maintenance, and owner/operator representatives, ensuring that process designs reflect operating practices, maintenance requirements, and facility constraints.
• Review engineering designs from an operations and owner/operator perspective, identifying risks related to safety, operability, maintainability, constructability, and long-term reliability.
• Provide process engineering field support, including site visits, walkdowns, constructability reviews, commissioning and start-up support as required by project scope.
• Support execution of brownfield modifications, including development of tie-in lists, battery limit definitions, utility summaries, and coordination with operating units.
• Coordinate process engineering interfaces with multi-discipline teams (mechanical, piping, instrumentation, electrical, civil, construction, and commissioning), including geographically distributed offices.
• Support vendor and package activities, including technical bid evaluations, vendor document reviews, and resolution of technical queries.
• Prepare or provide input to manhour estimates, engineering schedules, and periodic progress updates, supporting project planning, forecasting, and execution control.
• Identify deviations from project scope, proposal, or design basis and communicate technical, cost, and schedule impacts to project leadership in a timely manner.
• Develop, review, or provide technical input to engineering procedures, guidelines, and work instructions, supporting consistent execution and continuous improvement.
• Apply sound engineering judgment to balance engineering rigor with practical field and operational realities, delivering safe, operable, and constructible solutions.
• Ensure all engineering and design work performed meets applicable quality, cost and schedule requirements.
• Ensure all design work is safe and carried out in a safe manner, in accordance with applicable company, client, and regulatory requirements.

In addition to the responsibilities listed herein, the employee may be required to perform other ad hoc tasks as needed or directed by the supervisor or management. These tasks will be within the reasonable scope of the employee's skills, capabilities, and role within the organization. The intent of this provision is to allow for flexibility and adaptability in meeting the dynamic needs of the organization, ensuring that operational requirements can be met efficiently. All such tasks will be assigned considering the employee's current workload and with respect to their professional development.
