• Ensure designs meet all regulatory, safety, and industry standards (e.g., ASME, API, NFPA, IEC, etc.), as well as client requirements.
• Lead the technical aspects of process design, including troubleshooting and resolving complex design issues.

Project Management:

• Manage and oversee the execution of multiple process design projects from concept to completion, ensuring that they meet scope, budget, and timeline requirements.
• Work closely with project managers to define project objectives, schedules, and resource allocation, ensuring alignment with client needs and project goals.
• Monitor project performance, conduct progress reviews, and address any technical or scheduling issues promptly.
• Ensure the timely delivery of engineering documentation and approval of technical drawings, specifications, and reports.

Client and Stakeholder Engagement:

• Serve as the main point of contact for clients on process design-related matters, ensuring clear communication and satisfaction throughout the project lifecycle.
• Lead client meetings, project reviews, and design presentations to ensure the client's requirements are met and expectations are exceeded.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, contractors, and other external stakeholders, ensuring alignment and managing expectations.

Quality Assurance and Risk Management:

• Ensure that all process engineering activities comply with company policies, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Implement quality control measures and conduct design reviews to ensure that design work is accurate and meets safety and reliability standards.
• Conduct risk assessments, including HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) and other safety analyses, to identify and mitigate potential hazards or design flaws.
• Ensure designs incorporate sustainable and energy-efficient solutions where possible.

Budgeting and Resource Management:

• Develop and manage project budgets for process design engineering, ensuring that projects remain within financial constraints without compromising quality.
• Oversee the procurement process, ensuring the selection of appropriate equipment and materials that meet project specifications and quality standards.
• Allocate resources effectively across projects, ensuring that the right skills and expertise are available to meet project demands.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement:

• Stay updated with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in process design engineering and related fields.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce costs.
• Encourage the use of innovative solutions, including advanced software tools, automation, and sustainable practices to optimize process designs.

Reporting and Documentation:

• Ensure the accurate and timely preparation of all technical reports, project documentation, and progress reports.
• Review and approve process design deliverables, including PFDs, P&IDs, calculation sheets, and equipment specifications.
• Prepare regular project status reports and presentations for senior management, highlighting key milestones, challenges, and solutions.

Qualifications:

• Education:

  Bachelor's degree in Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree or MBA is preferred.

• Experience:

  10+ years of experience in process engineering design, with at least 5 years in a managerial or leadership position.

Skills:

• Strong expertise in process design principles, including fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and process control.
• Proficient in process simulation software (e.g., Aspen Plus, HYSYS, ChemCAD) and design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, P&ID design software).
• In-depth knowledge of industry standards, codes, and regulations (e.g., ASME, API, ISO, IEC).
• Demonstrated experience in managing multi-disciplinary teams, overseeing project execution, and ensuring timely delivery.
• Strong leadership and communication skills to manage a team, collaborate with clients, and liaise with other engineering disciplines.
• Ability to handle complex technical challenges and provide practical, efficient solutions.
• Excellent project management skills, including budgeting, scheduling, and resource management.
