• PFDs, P&IDs, and cause‑and‑effect diagrams knowledge.
• Piping codes (ASME 31.3 or 31.8) and ASME pressure vessel code familiarity.
• Reciprocal compressor sizing, separator sizing, pressure relief design, and tank vent calculations.
• API 12F tank specification knowledge.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize tasks effectively.
• Familiarity in implementing and managing process safety management systems.
• Hands‑on experience facilitating PHA sessions (HAZOP and/or What‑If studies).
• Experience driving contractor accountability and implementing corrective actions to meet established KPIs.
• Ability to analyze complex data sets, identify patterns and anomalies, and apply engineering principles to troubleshoot issues and optimize systems.
• Familiarity with RCFA to identify issues and implement corrective actions to prevent recurring failures.
• Practical knowledge of artificial lift systems (gas lift, rod pump, plunger lift, etc.).

• Pneumatic, electrical controls and safety system design knowledge.
• Experience with Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA).
• Familiarity with integrity management processes (NDE/NDT).
• Knowledge of metallurgy, welding types and welding procedures.
• Understanding of NACE standards for corrosion control and materials selection.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Bluebeam.
• Process modeling experience with Pro Max or similar software.

This role requires 25% travel to the field.

Base pay: $165,000 – $194,000 (good‑faith estimate at posting).
