Main Duties and Responsibilities:

•Single point of accountability for the execution of Process Engineering scopes during concept, pre-FEED and FEED through to EPC, commissioning and operational support.
•Ability to take responsibility and manage tasks through to completion.
•Adopt pragmatic, fit for purpose approach striving for simplicity without compromising on safety requirement or production objectives.
•Initiate, develop and manage intelligent process engineering systems and procedures. (P&ID, HYSIS, PIPSIM etc.)
•Define and safely deliver cost effective project (Process) solutions within challenging timescales.
•Direct Process Engineering and/or Contractors activities with respect to Process Engineering.
•Participate in Model (30%/60%/90%), HAZID, HAZOP, SIL, QRA and constructability reviews.
•Ensure Process Data Sheets and Specification for long Lead items are issued to enable earliest placement of enquires.
•Ensure integration of process design between vendor packages and the process systems.
•Prepare, review and approve internal (Process) technical procedures and scope changes.
•Coordination with other project discipline engineering team members and other internal stakeholders
•Monitor process engineering progress and ensure necessary information flow between disciplines to meet project milestones.
•Contribute and provide process engineering project status reports.
•Provide on-site support during construction and commissioning activities.
