Let me tell you about the role

The Process Engineer is accountable for assuring unit performance and availability from cycle to cycle. They do this by acting as the primary collaborate with Operations to support routine, day-to-day asset operations activities such as solving, providing technical recommendations for operating procedures, and supporting basic process control issues. Process Engineers regularly monitor the units for mass balance closure, catalyst performance, yields, and operation within chemical and physical integrity limits. They deliver operational technical support for process improvements, turnaround activities, performance tests, technical knowledge management, and troubleshooting exercises.

This, this role may include working shift/evening/weekend schedules on occasion.

Additionally, the Process Engineer will have a key role in various special assignments such as project commissioning, complex unit modeling, and catalyst selection.

What you will deliver .
