We are looking for an experienced Process Engineer with a minimum of 5-10 years experience in refining, oil and gas plants, and petrochemical industries. The ideal candidate should be proficient in industry codes and standards (API, ISO, ASME) and have strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, particularly in metering systems. Experience in process safety activities such as HAZOP and risk assessments is preferred. This role involves overseeing projects, reviewing work for conformance, and ensuring that engineering requirements are met efficiently and safely.

Key Responsibilities

• Review the work performed in regions outside SAO to ensure it conforms to SAO conditions and is appropriately related to existing installations; recommend modifications if necessary.
• Outline the supporting service requirements such as drafting, surveying, material take-off, requisitioning, and clerical services; coordinate and check progress for accuracy upon completion.
• Develop cost estimates for engineering, labor, equipment, and materials based on preliminary design data, and prepare expenditure requests with justifications.
• Assist other engineers in resolving problems outside their specialty.
• Initiate reports, gather performance data, and conduct studies to support equipment development, procurement, or adaptation.
• Interpret and apply codes and standards, review operating procedures, and safety instructions.
• Develop engineering, material, and equipment specifications, and resolve related engineering issues.
• Apply engineering principles, codes, and standards, making necessary diagrams, calculations, and considering economic factors.
• Develop solutions and formulate design bases by analyzing data relative to operating requirements, process considerations, and economic factors to support new constructions, modifications, or equipment maintenance proposals.
• Inspect construction progress, ensuring conformance with company engineering requirements; recommend or confirm design changes, material, and equipment substitutions as needed.
• Ensure that costs remain within the approved budget or justify incurred overruns.

Minimum Job Requirements

• Education: Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering or equivalent.
• Experience: Minimum of 5-10 years experience in refining, oil and gas plants, or petrochemical industries, with proficiency in metering systems and process safety activities.
• Certifications: FE and PE certifications.
• Skills:
  • Proficiency in industry standards (API, ISO, ASME).
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, particularly in metering systems.
  • Experience with HAZOP, risk assessments, and process safety.
  • Ability to develop cost estimates and manage project budgets.
  • Expertise in design development, procurement, and construction management.
  • Familiarity with project scheduling, contractor management, and project reporting.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage day-to-day contractor claims and complaints.

Key Responsibilities for Project Management

• Execute capital projects according to work scope, schedule, and budget.
• Oversee project development from preliminary engineering to construction and final turnover.
• Manage contractor activities related to General Engineering Services (GES+).
• Develop detailed estimates, work scope, and schedules for project proposals.
• Prepare contracting plans, manage bids, and evaluate contractors for detailed engineering, procurement, and construction.
• Monitor project schedules and challenge below-par contractor performance.
• Ensure compliance with company standards, policies, and specifications during project execution.
