Process Engineering

Overview

must have relevant documented experience in the gas processing field in one or more of the following specialties: Amine Sweetening, Sulfur Recovery, Dehydration, NGL recovery, Water Treatment, or Steam/Power generation. Alternatively, the candidate must have relevant documented experience in an environmental engineering related field, such as waste water treatment, waste handling and management, environmental compliance, carbon capture and sequestration, or tail gas treatment.

The candidate must demonstrate that he had worked in a gas processing facility for a minimum of 10 years. He must be proficient with process simulation software like Aspen HYSYS, BR&E Promax, or equivalent.

The candidate must be trained or certified in advanced Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) methods like HAZOP or LOPA, and trained in advanced Root Cause Analysis (RCA) methods like fault tree analysis or FMEA.

It is preferred that the candidate has a valid recognized professional certificate, such as Professional Engineer (PE), Chartered Engineer (CEng), or equivalent.

The candidate is expected to lead investigation, assessment, or project teams, in addition to train and develop young talent. Relevant soft skills include: written and oral communication, problem solving, critical thinking, mentoring, project and time management, and ability to lead teams of different backgrounds and skill levels.

Duties and Responsibilities

You will be required to perform the following:

Handle process activities such as studies and design modifications in the operating facilities
Develop simulation models for assigned operation facilities
Develop, review and/or validate plant mass balances
Check plant performance to ensure it is running up to its design
Look for opportunities to optimize operations and implement them accordingly.
Use the software simulation programs such as HYSYS and promax.
Provide technical direction/support to in-Kingdom and out-of-Kingdom design contractors
Formulate and implement long-term strategies to improve operations and reduce costs
Lead groups of engineers in the shutdown and start-up phase of existing plants.
Participate in standards reviews to assure inclusion of requirements that are of practical benefit to field operation and maintenance in regard to safety and efficiency of the plant.
Provide guidance on standards development through technical committee participation. Interprets standards and recommends changes to reduce costs associated with overly stringent requirements.
Lead unit performance and capacity tests and prepare testing procedures
Conduct risk assessment
Conduct process equipment performance test, for heat exchangers e.g. reboilers, fin-fan coolers, rotating equipment,
Lead performance test for static equipment e.g. column, separator etc.
Lead performance test for fired equipment and converters including catalyst performance.
Lead driers break-through test and issue test result report including desiccant replacement plan.
Lead propane refrigeration system performance test
Evaluate the catalyst recovery performance
Lead solution (DGA / TEG) filtration system performance test. Evaluate DGA/TEG monthly losses
Issue report covering bottlenecks, deficiencies, and recommendations and follow-up on the implementation
Lead process and equipment optimization studies
Lead feasibility studies
Lead PHA and HAZOP studies
Initiate and coordinate ESA’s
Develop implementation plan for critical recommendations
Ensure implementation plan is executed for the system under study and propagated to other applicable systems.
Lead Health, Safety and Environmental studies
Lead Energy Optimization / Conservation studies
Initiate process safety relief audit studies.
Lead Water conservation studies
perform management of change (MOC)
verify system operations and performance after implementing the recommendations

Minimum Requirements
