Effectively create and evaluate design deliverables such as Process Design Basis, philosophy documents, process simulations, heat and material balances, PFDs, P&IDs (piping & instrumentation diagrams), equipment Process data sheets and engineering calculations including hydraulics, initial equipment sizing, required over-pressure load calculations, control valve rating, dynamic depressuring analyses, and performance flow curves. Work with Business Development and Projects to provide cost/benefit analysis of technical options and provide technical expertise in the evaluation of hydrogen and/or ammonia production technologies. Plan, organize and direct the execution of feasibility studies, technology evaluations, and conceptual designs as required to support projects or initiatives. Assist in the development of work scope and execution of FEED studies. Provide recommendations based on the outcome of FEED studies. Serve as a technical resource and point of contact for external or internal customers. Provide process engineering oversight during detail design. Coordinate with project management, EPC firm, and various engineering disciplines to ensure coordinated efforts in project design and execution. Lead the identification of changes to the scope of work during project execution. Perform complex calculations and apply company and industry standards. Identify creative design solutions that optimize project capital or operating costs, equipment reliability, or project schedule. Manage and support the quality review process for assigned projects, including the feasibility or soundness of proposed plans. Provide technical support to assist in developing and maintaining a Process Safety Management (PSM) program for decarbonization facilities. Assist and troubleshoot during commissioning, startup, and operation of facilities. Provide training to plant operations personnel on environmental impact, safety implications of processes & chemicals, maintaining process reliability, and proper operating practices and procedures to contribute to optimum plant performance and safe operation. Develop the technical abilities of less experienced engineers during the execution of projects; Provides guidance, leadership, and training to less experienced engineers. Regularly perform reviews of vendor documents to ensure technical requirements are met. Other daily, weekly, monthly, or special project duties as identified and defined.
