Job description

About the Role:
Solex Thermal Science, a leader in advanced heat-exchange technology, is seeking a Senior Process Engineer to join its Operations group. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to world-class thermal process solutions used across multiple industries.

You’ll work as part of a high-caliber technical team supporting the design, implementation, and optimization of proprietary heat-exchange equipment throughout its life cycle. You’ll have opportunities to lead complex projects, mentor junior engineers, and shape the development of next-generation thermal systems.

What You’ll Do

• Supervise and validate process simulations for new thermal and process equipment.
• Develop and seal process engineering deliverables, including Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Heat & Material Balances (HMBs), Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Control Narratives, equipment datasheets, hydraulic/pneumatic calculations, and detailed heat-transfer calculations.
• Provide senior technical support to the Project Management team to resolve process-related queries and validate the quality interface with third-party manufacturing partners.
• Lead and participate in process hazards analyses (What-Ifs, HAZOPs, HAZIDs).
• Provide commissioning and troubleshooting support during equipment start-up and operation.
• Establish data requirements for performance validation and carry out post-processing analyses.
• Validate that installed systems meet thermal intent and operate safely and efficiently.
• Mentor and develop junior engineers, supporting their technical and professional growth.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (or equivalent).
• P.Eng. designation (or eligibility) in Alberta.
• 10-15+ years of progressive process-engineering experience.
• Deep knowledge of transport phenomena and thermodynamics.
• Familiarity with regulatory codes and standards (PED, ASME).
• High proficiency in process simulation and design software (Aspen/HYSYS, HTRI, ASPEN EDR, etc.).
• Functional skills with programming or scripting skills (Python, VBA, or equivalent) to automate and solve engineering problems.
• Demonstrated leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities among safety, schedule, and budget constraints.

Working Conditions

• Flexible work policy.
• Occasional travel required.
• Overtime may be necessary from time to time.

Why Join

You’ll work alongside a team of recognized experts in the field of industrial heat transfer — advancing technologies that improve energy efficiency and sustainability in process industries worldwide. The organization offers competitive compensation, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, paid vacation, and an annual performance bonus.

We are an equal opportunity employer, committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace.
