About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Process Engineer Lead to take ownership of process engineering activities across tenders and projects, while leading a globally distributed team of engineers. This role goes beyond technical execution—you will play a key role in shaping process strategy, mentoring engineers, and driving project outcomes. If you are a strong individual contributor ready to grow into leadership – or already leading and looking for broader impact – this is a role where you can accelerate.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead process engineering activities across tenders and project execution.
• Collaborate with the Discipline Manager to define and align process team objectives within the project.
• Provide appropriate process engineering input to design activities undertaken by other inter-discipline engineering within the project team.
• Act as the process engineering interface with internal disciplines, vendors, and stakeholders.
• Ensure all deliverables are technically accurate and aligned with scope, budget, schedule, and quality standards.
• Mentor and develop junior process engineers while fostering a collaborative, high-performing team environment and strong team spirit.
• Execute feasibility studies, conceptual design, and process studies.
• Develop key design documentation (Heat & Material Balance, PFDs, P&IDs, datasheets) and support other process engineers in their preparation.
• Represent process engineering in technical design reviews (P&ID, HAZOP, SIL, HAZID) as well as in client and vendor meetings.
• Identify risks, gaps, and opportunities for process improvement.

Qualifications & Skills

Essential Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering.
• 8–12 years of relevant industry experience.
• Proficient in process design.
• Ability to balance hands‑on execution with leadership responsibilities.

Desired Qualifications:

• Previous experience as a Process Lead.
• Proficient in process engineering software (HYSYS, FlareNet, OLGA, Pipesim, ProMax).
• Site experience.

Soft Skills:

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams.
• Proactive, action‑oriented mindset with a willingness to take on new challenges.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a team‑oriented environment.
• Comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment.
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and responsibility for outcomes.

What We Offer

• High‑impact role – influence both tender and project execution phases.
• Career growth opportunities – potential progression into broader leadership roles.
• Challenging and diverse projects – from concept studies to full‑scale execution.
• Strong team culture – open, trust‑based environment with high autonomy and accountability.
