What You'll Bring

* Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering or equivalent experience

* 10+ years of experience in chemical process design, process improvement or operations. Emphasis on design of new installations is required. A combination of experience with an owner/operator and an EPC firm is desired

* Experience with the following processes and equipment: bulk solids handling, slurry systems, heterogeneous and homogeneous reacting systems, solid/liquid separations equipment, crystallization systems, fired equipment, and loadout and custody transfer equipment

* Registration as a Professional Engineer

* Subject matter expertise related to North American / United States codes, standards, and regulations (API, ASME, ASME/BPVC, ASTM, ISO, NFPA, UL, etc.)

* Ability to lead or participate in process hazard evaluations and HAZOP reviews of the equipment listed above

* Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam, Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, and Pipe-Flo. Revit experience is a plus

* Ability to adapt, multi-task and prioritize work in a fast-paced environment with evolving changes in design requirements. A positive, "do the impossible" attitude and ability to communicate with peers and stakeholders at all levels including piping designers, stress engineers, other engineering disciplines, customers, and executives is essential
