Job summary

SLB in Houston is seeking a Process Engineer to develop innovative, cost-effective electrochemical treatment and separation techniques for produced water and other process streams, while supporting new product development across oil and gas processing.

You will lead lab and field testing, design bench- and pilot-scale systems, and translate data into design docs, specifications, and test procedures, working with cross-functional teams to scale concepts to commercial units.

Qualifications

Chemical engineering degree with 5–15 years’ experience with exposure to product development, technology development, applied R&D, laboratory testing, or pilot-scale process development environments.
Hands-on experience designing, building, modifying, commissioning, and safely operating electrochemical or electrically driven process test systems is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

Lead and support laboratory and field testing for oil and gas production and processing technologies, with emphasis on electrochemical treatment, separation, and regeneration processes; build prototypes, products, and systems suitable for testing, and set up and run laboratory simulations.
Design, assemble, commission, troubleshoot, and operate bench-scale and pilot-scale electrochemical test systems, including reactors or cells, electrodes, power supplies, instrumentation, sampling systems, process controls, and associated equipment.
Define operating windows, performance limits, and product parameters through initial laboratory testing; scale concepts to pilot facilities for confirmation testing; and support design, manufacturing, testing, and commercialization of commercial units.
Analyze process performance, develop mathematical models, and draw design conclusions from experimental data; prepare engineering specifications, data sheets, drawings, RFQs, control schemes, test procedures, operating manuals, and product/test documentation.
Apply usability, reliability, maintainability, HSE, and engineering quality principles; participate in technical reviews of requirements, specifications, process designs, materials selections, test plans, data packages, and design standards to support design reuse.
Assign, direct, and review technician work; provide guidance to engineers and, with seniority, mentor junior engineers while supporting safe execution of laboratory and pilot operations.
Provide field and customer support through InTouch, identify performance, process, materials, or hardware issues, locate primary causes, and develop workable solutions to improve the product.
Author technical reports, papers, articles, patents, and presentations; share expertise via Eureka and special interest groups; and expand informal networks throughout the organization.
