Description

• Independently lead Operator Training Simulator (OTS) and advanced digital application projects.
• Develop and maintain standards and best practices for project documentation, including Functional Design Specifications (FDS), modeling guidelines, input data collection, and project scheduling.
• Mentor junior engineers to enhance their dynamic simulation capabilities.
• Deliver training sessions to internal and external participants through Lummus Digital Centers.
• Manage project teams in developing plant-wide process simulation models based on Lummus proprietary technologies.
• Integrate and interface simulation models with Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems.
• Participate in Model Acceptance Testing (MAT), Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) for OTS systems.
• Ensure simulation scenarios and malfunction strategies comply with customer specifications.
• Support testing, implementation, and start-up of plant process control systems, including FAT/SAT for system verification and validation.
• Assist in developing commissioning plans and startup/shutdown procedures.
• Lead engineering study projects and provide technical direction.
• Report project progress, identify risks, and implement mitigation strategies.
• Coordinate with clients including EPCs, end users, vendors, and partners.
  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering.
• Experience with Lummus Technology processes is preferred.
• 10 to 15 years of post-academic experience in developing Operator Training Simulators and/or dynamic simulations for oil and gas, refinery, and chemical processes.
• Proven experience managing full-cycle OTS projects (both emulation and direct-connect) as a technical lead from Kick-Off Meeting (KOM) to SAT and training delivery.
• In-depth knowledge of systems, processes, equipment, and controls.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills.
• Strong accountability and ability to deliver on commitments in a timely manner.
• Proficiency in steady-state and dynamic simulation using commercial software (hands-on experience with Aspen, Honeywell, or Aveva preferred).
• Experience with industrial control systems such as Honeywell, Emerson, Schneider, Yokogawa, and BHGE compressor/turbine controllers.
• Development and integration experience with HMI applications like InTouch is a plus.
• Ability to interpret physical systems and controls to develop dynamic simulation models that accurately represent system responses under various operating conditions.
• Thorough understanding of P&IDs, equipment and instrument datasheets, general arrangement drawings, process control philosophies, control narratives, and shutdown specifications including Cause & Effect charts.
