Key skills for this role
A Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering (Master's is a bonus, not a filter).
3–6 years of hands-on process or chemical engineering experience — ideally with at least one greenfield or grassroots capital project on your CV.
Real proficiency in process simulation software: Aspen Plus, HYSYS, or similar. "I've opened it once" doesn't count.
A solid understanding of process safety methodologies — HAZOP, LOPA, SIL — and a genuine respect for inherently safer design.
Familiarity with the codes that govern this world: ASME, API, ISA.
Experience coordinating with EPC contractors and multidisciplinary teams. You know what it takes to get mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil, and EHS teams aligned on one design.
A PE licence or EIT certification is preferred, not mandatory.
Process Design & Engineering — Develop and review PFDs, P&IDs, mass and energy balances, and equipment sizing for new process units. This is the backbone — get it right and everything downstream follows.
FEED & Detailed Engineering — Drive front-end engineering design through to detailed engineering. Coordinate directly with EPC contractors and engineering firms.
Process Simulation — Build and validate process models in Aspen Plus, HYSYS, or equivalent. Optimise design parameters before steel gets cut.
Equipment Specification — Prepare technical specs and datasheets for reactors, columns, heat exchangers, pumps, and other process equipment. Vendor-ready, no ambiguity.
Process Safety — Participate in HAZOP, PHA, LOPA, and SIL studies. Champion inherently safer design principles throughout.
Regulatory & Permitting — Provide technical input for environmental permits (air, water, waste) and ensure designs comply with OSHA, EPA, and PSM requirements.
