*This is a 100% travel role both nationwide and international*

As a Chemical Engineer I here at Honeywell, you will play a crucial role in supporting chemical engineering projects within the UOP business unit. You will be responsible for assisting in the design, development, and implementation of chemical processes and solutions. Additionally, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive product development and improvement, ensuring the successful execution of projects. You will report directly to our Chemical Engineering Manager and you will have the opportunity to travel to various locations for project assignments.

In this role, you will have an impact by contributing to the technical excellence, innovation, collaboration, and safety of our projects. Your expertise and contributions will contribute to the growth, competitiveness, and success of the UOP business unit.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity to work in the U.S. and around the world as part of a Field Operating Service (FOS) team, supported by technology experts from UOP's Operating Technical Service. FOS advisors are on-site prior, during and after the initial start-up of UOP technologies. They help to ensure that the plant and operators are ready for commissioning. Advisors are also involved in the start-up and test runs that demonstrate guarantees and are accountable for process, equipment, refining and petrochemical insight and assist customers in resolving engineering and operating issues.

UOP advisors may remain at a site for a few days to several months before moving to the next assignment. For each start-up, advisors work with several UOP-licensed processes and with a variety of individuals within and outside of UOP. The experience gained from each assignment, and the subsequent interaction with other UOP employees, provide a solid background for assessing and solving problems encountered in each situation in various locations around the world.

As advisors gain experience, they have opportunities to advance to positions of increased accountability within the FOS organization. Once the experience has been gained in FOS, engineers may choose to pursue positions in UOP's Technical Service, Engineering, Equipment, Development, Manufacturing or Sales groups. Regardless of the path they choose the experience gained in FOS is key to both personal development and the ability to contribute towards the continued success of our customers.

At Honeywell, our people leaders play a critical role in developing and supporting our employees to help them perform at their best and drive change across the company. Help to build a strong, diverse team by recruiting talent, identifying and developing successors, driving retention and engagement, and fostering an inclusive culture.
