Senior Process Modeling Engineer, Cleantech ****Completed****

As a Senior Process Modeling Engineer, you are responsible for the development of process simulations deliverables and additional objectives as defined by your management chain. You identify process changes that improve the technology, enable more flexibility in the requirements for the mechanical and electrical teams, or improve the simulations and simulation tools used by the engineering team. You achieve this through research, analysis of plant data/simulations, and review of KPI metrics. 

Responsibilities

Technical Responsibilities:

  • Mentor, support, and guide engineers in their professional development to ensure they develop both the technical understanding and personal fit needed to excel in their position. 

  • Process deliverables such as BFDs (Block Flow Diagram), Process Models, Heat and Material Balances, and PFDs (Process Flow Diagram). 

  • Improve CE technology through identification and exploitation of opportunities to reduce CO2 capture cost and improve process efficiency either directly or through enabling improvements in the work of other engineering disciplines. 

  • Improve CE’s simulation capabilities through optimization of existing simulations, identification of areas of improvement, and development of new simulations. 

  • Analyze/model various process designs to drive down the cost of the plant. 

  • Provide progress against milestones/deadlines to management. 

  • Maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Process Engineering.

  • Support the engineering and project management teams during the Front-End Loading (FEL), Detailed Design, Construction, and Commissioning. 

  • Identify constraints to achieving engineering objectives or deliverable deadlines and suggest the resources required to overcome these (e.g. software, equipment, personnel). 

  • Fulfill Process Engineering Team responsibilities as detailed in the Engineering Group Structure and Responsibilities document. 

  • Foster and maintain a positive culture within the Process Engineering Team; a questioning mindset and recognize failure as a learning opportunity.

  • Collaborate with your direct manager to set targets for process development, simulation development, and deliverables.

  • Identify and apply appropriate quality management tools and techniques to improve the engineering process. 

Safety Responsibilities:

  • Demonstrate a positive safety culture within the Process Engineering Team.

  • Identify, report and resolve unsafe conditions, processes or actions within the workplace.

  • Ensure that all safety related incidents, accidents and near misses are reported and investigated in line with company policy.

  • Complete curriculum training on Bridge system.

Qualifications

  • Education: BSc, or MSc in Engineering or Applied Science.

  • 5+ years of experience in process simulation and modelling for plant design, scale-up and optimization.

  • Very high skill in and a passion for process modelling and simulation software.

  • Understanding of thermodynamics, kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and catalysis.

  • Effective statistical analysis and design skills to solve complex problems.
