Job description

Lead / Senior Process Engineer, Process Marine

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Office-based with possible shipyard visits)

Contract Type: Long-term project assignment

A leading offshore engineering project is seeking a skilled Process Engineer to prepare fundamental engineering deliverables related to the hull section of offshore facilities or crude carriers. The role requires independent technical execution with minimal guidance, resolving routine engineering issues, and ensuring compliance with project specifications and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Understand project-specific technical requirements, classification society, regulatory, and industry standards relevant to the hull package.
• Develop design philosophies, engineering specifications, PFDs, P&IDs, datasheets, equipment sizing, and calculations; validate deliverables with the Lead Engineer.
• Support senior engineers in drafting and consolidating project documents such as philosophies and study reports.
• Independently prepare technical reports including process simulation basis, heat and material balances, process control descriptions, utility summaries, line lists, set point lists, safe charts, and process cause & effect diagrams.
• Analyse and resolve basic engineering issues by interpreting data, applying experience, precedents, and professional references.
• Participate in safety and stakeholder meetings; communicate process systems and close observations efficiently.
• Review stakeholder documents and address interface and execution issues, escalating where necessary to maintain project progress.
• Provide technical support during construction and commissioning phases, troubleshoot and coordinate resolution of site issues, providing off-site advice if needed.
• Capture lessons learned within the functional area and close out related actions in the project management system.
• Perform preliminary PSV set pressure, line sizing, and settle-out calculations following design and alarm set point requirements.
• Verify vendor information and perform calculations (e.g., scrubber level settings, strainer pressure drops) to ensure compliance with design.
• Review and mark up general arrangement drawings for discrepancies in vessel and exchanger nozzle allocations.
• Assist in technical bid evaluations for project packages under supervision of the Lead Engineer, ensuring vendor compliance with technical and delivery requirements.

Requirements:

• Minimum 7 years' process engineering experience related to hull packages for offshore facilities or crude carriers (for degree holders).
• Minimum 6 years' relevant experience for master's degree holders.
• At least 1 to 2 years' experience working in a shipyard environment.
• Proven knowledge of applicable industry and classification standards.

Software Skills:

• MS Office suite including Visio
• AVEVA Engineering software
• Process simulation tools (e.g., UNISIM Design)
• Piping system transient analysis and hydraulics (e.g., Flowmaster)
• Fire water system hydraulics software (e.g., Pipenet)
