Key Responsibilities:

Process Design Leadership:

• Lead and oversee process design activities across multiple projects, ensuring technical excellence, quality control, and compliance with industry standards.
• Drive the development and optimization of process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and other related process design documentation.
• Review and approve process design calculations, simulations, and material and energy balance studies.
• Provide guidance on process optimization, cost reduction, and improvement initiatives throughout the project lifecycle.

Project Oversight and Coordination:

• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, civil, and safety engineers) to ensure integration of process designs with other disciplines.
• Manage the interface between design and operations teams to ensure designs meet operational requirements, safety standards, and project objectives.
• Ensure process designs are aligned with the project's budget, schedule, and performance requirements.

Team Management and Development:

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of process engineers, providing technical direction, training, and professional development.
• Foster a collaborative and high-performance work environment, ensuring effective communication and teamwork.
• Review team members designs and provide constructive feedback to ensure continuous improvement.

Quality Assurance and Compliance:

• Ensure that all process designs comply with relevant engineering codes, safety regulations, and environmental standards.
• Maintain high standards of quality control and review of all design deliverables, ensuring that they meet the project's specifications and client expectations.
• Monitor the progress of design activities and implement corrective actions when required to stay on schedule.

Client and Stakeholder Interaction:

• Serve as a key point of contact for clients and stakeholders, ensuring that their requirements are effectively incorporated into the design.
• Review and present process design proposals to clients and provide technical support throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in design reviews, safety audits, and project meetings to ensure alignment with client expectations.

Process Simulation and Analysis:

• Lead the development and application of process simulation models using industry-standard software (Aspen Plus, HYSYS, etc.) to analyze process performance.
• Ensure that the process designs are optimized for energy efficiency, cost effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.
• Conduct hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies and risk assessments as part of the design review process.

Change Management and Risk Assessment:

• Manage scope changes and project variations, including the evaluation and integration of client change requests.
• Conduct risk assessments related to process design and work to mitigate potential issues or disruptions during project execution.
• Develop contingency plans and strategies for project execution risks.

Continuous Improvement:

• Identify opportunities for process design improvements and implement best practices, tools, and technologies.
• Stay updated on industry trends, technological advancements, and regulatory changes to incorporate them into the company's design practices.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 10+ years of experience in process design engineering, with at least 5 years in a leadership or management role within an engineering consultancy, EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction), or industrial setting.
• Industry Expertise: Experience in oil & gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, power generation, or related industrial sectors.

Skills & Competencies:

• In-depth knowledge of process design principles, methodologies, and tools (e.g., Aspen Plus, HYSYS, UniSim).
• Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to motivate and guide a team of engineers.
• Advanced knowledge of process simulation, system optimization, and safety assessments (HAZOP).
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASME, ANSI, API, IEC).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and decision-making abilities.
• Strong communication and presentation skills for interacting with clients, stakeholders, and internal teams.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines effectively.
