Job Description
The Senior Process Engineer will lead the design optimization and troubleshooting of process systems in an onshore gas compression plant. The role involves overseeing process simulations equipment sizing and ensuring compliance with industry standards to enhance efficiency reliability and safety in gas compression treatment and transmission. The candidate will also provide technical leadership mentor junior engineers and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams for successful project execution.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead the development of Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and Heat & Material Balances for gas compression and processing facilities.
- Perform mass & energy balance calculations for compression dehydration and gas conditioning systems.
- Develop compressor station layouts evaluate different compression technologies and optimize plant operations.
- Conduct process simulations using Aspen HYSYS UniSim ProMax or Pipesim for efficiency improvement.
- Size and specify reciprocating centrifugal and screw compressors aftercoolers separators and heat exchangers.
- Develop compressor performance curves surge analysis and thermodynamic efficiency assessments.
- Optimize the selection and integration of gas treatment technologies including dehydration (TEG/MDEA) slug catchers and filter separators.
- Ensure designs comply with industry codes and standards such as API 618 API 619 ASME B31.3 API 521 NFPA 86 and ISO 10439.
- Lead HAZOP HAZID SIL LOPA and risk assessments for process safety compliance.
- Develop flare & relief system designs conduct PSV sizing depressurization studies and overpressure protection analysis.
- Provide technical direction and mentorship to junior and midlevel process engineers.
- Act as the process lead in FEED Detailed Engineering and EPC phases of gas compression projects.
- Review and approve process design deliverables ensuring alignment with project requirements and best practices.
- Coordinate with multidiscipline engineering teams (mechanical piping electrical instrumentation control systems) to develop integrated designs.
- Interface with clients vendors EPC contractors and regulatory authorities for process approvals and technical discussions.
- Lead plant startup commissioning and performance testing for gas compression units.
- Troubleshoot compressor surge issues hydrate formation flow assurance challenges and operational bottlenecks.
- Optimize process operations by implementing datadriven decisionmaking and realtime monitoring strategies.
- Prepare and review process datasheets cause & effect diagrams operating philosophies and control narratives.
- Develop reports on process optimization safety analysis and plant performance improvements.
KEY QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Chemical Engineering or equivalent.
- Minimum 1015 years in process engineering with at least 5 years in onshore gas processing and compression projects.
