Job description

Rol We are looking for a detail-oriented Process Engineer to lead the core process design, mass/energy balance calculations, and equipment sizing for turnkey EPC projects. The candidate will be responsible for translating client feedstock and capacity requirements into complete engineering packages (PFDs, P&IDs, and equipment datasheets), supporting techno-commercial proposals, and troubleshooting process parameters during plant commissioning role & responsibilities

Preferred candidate profile

Key Responsibilities

1. Process Design & Engineering Calculations

• Mass & Energy Balance: Develop detailed Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) along with complete Mass and Energy Balance sheets for varying plant capacities and feedstock compositions.
• P&ID Development: Prepare, update, and verify Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), incorporating line sizing, valve specifications, safety interlocks, and control philosophy.
• Equipment Sizing & Datasheets: Perform hydraulic, thermal, and vessel sizing calculations (reactors, heat exchangers, distillation columns, digesters, pumps, compressors, and storage tanks) and prepare technical datasheets for procurement.
• Utility & Effluent Calculations: Estimate utility consumption (steam, cooling water, chilled water, compressed air, power) and define effluent/emission parameters for ETP/STP and pollution control compliance.

2. Pre-Sales, Proposal & Vendor Support

• Techno-Commercial Proposal Support: Work alongside the Sales/Estimation team during the bidding stage to define process schemes, battery limits, raw material/utility consumption guarantees, and preliminary equipment lists.
• Vendor Technical Bid Evaluation (TBE): Review vendor offers and technical drawings for critical process equipment, ensuring compliance with process datasheets and performance guarantees.

3. Safety, Compliance & Commissioning

• Process Safety & HAZOP: Participate in HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) studies, safety relief valve (PSV) sizing, and hazardous area classification to ensure inherently safe plant design.
• Operating Manuals & SOPs: Prepare plant start-up, normal operation, emergency shutdown procedures, and detailed Commissioning Manuals.
• Commissioning & Performance Guarantee (PG) Runs: Travel to project sites during pre-commissioning and commissioning to oversee process stabilization, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and demonstrate Performance Guarantee (PG) parameters to the client.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Education: B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech in Chemical Engineering (or Petrochemical / Bio-Process Engineering).
• Experience: 26 years of core process design experience in an EPC consultancy, turnkey project company, or continuous process industry (Bio-fuels, Edible Oil, Distillery, Chemical, or Waste-to-Energy).
• Technical & Software Skills:
  • Strong command over PFD/P&ID development, Mass & Energy Balance, and Equipment Sizing.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and process simulation tools (Aspen Plus / HYSYS / ChemCAD is an added advantage).
  • Familiarity with ASME, TEMA, API, and IS engineering codes, as well as CPCB/MPCB environmental norms.
• Key Competencies: Strong analytical thinking, accuracy in engineering calculations, and clear cross-functional communication with Mechanical, Piping, Instrumentation, and Sales teams.
