• Attending site surveys to define new supply and integrate it in existing plant; reverse engineering mind-set is necessary;
• Developing predictive system design through modeling and numerical automation (Matlab/Simulink, FlowMaster, Hysis) to foresee transient behaviors and define high level control logic;
• Executing the design, analysis or evaluation of assigned projects using engineering practices adhering to business standards, practices, procedures and product/program requirements.
• Interacting with multiple internal interfaces such as ITO Team, Project Engineering, Project Manager, Other disciplines' Design Engineers, Testing cell, Procurement dept., Quality Org., Manufacturing dept. and Service business;
• Interacting with several external interfaces like Customers and Suppliers demonstrating teamwork attitudes to maximize proficiency; managing OPEX Spare Parts support process for Auxiliaries and Instrumentation items
• Providing technical leadership to activities related with the assigned project and coordinate/control the activities performed by external engineering; being also responsible for engineering hour's budget management maximizing both internal/external productivity;
• Demonstrating inclusiveness, social conscience, inclination to sustain team members, ability to remain objective and stay tuned to immediate environment;

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have a Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, Aeronautical Engineering, or equivalent
• Have experience in an Oil & Gas or energy-related engineering environment
• Have knowledge of fluid systems and familiarity with computational simulation tools (e.g., Hysys, FlowMaster, Matlab/Simulink or similar)
• Demonstrate strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and process improvement capabilities
• Have good interpersonal and communication skills, with fluency in English (Italian is an advantage)
• Be able to work effectively across functions and collaborate within multidisciplinary teams
• Show adaptability, openness to learning, and willingness to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
• Have familiarity with Six Sigma, Green Belt certification, or Root Cause Analysis methodologies as a plus
