It is a small-scale project, where you will work alongside another process engineer to deliver the FEED package, including developing P&IDs, heat and mass balances, project schedules, and equipment datasheets.

As the Senior Process Engineer, you will progress the design from the concept to detailed FEED deliverables, supported by our experienced process team for guidance.

Key Purpose

• Develop process engineering deliverables for the FEED phase
• Support team members, including junior engineers, through meetings, input on project schedules, and technical queries

Responsibilities

• Produce design outputs such as calculations, specifications, reports, site surveys, and client liaison, ensuring progress aligns with the project brief
• Review colleagues’ deliverables for quality and compliance
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary design team members
• Assist in preparing enquiry plans, fee estimates, scopes of work, and change controls

Requirements

• Degree in Chemical Engineering
• Experience in chemical or related sectors’ design and engineering
• Proficiency in Process Flow Diagrams, P&ID’s, equipment datasheets, and specifications
