Candidates would be expected to have a varied and extensive process design background covering both offshore and onshore projects to include conceptual, FEED and detailed design (EPC). In addition, these personnel will have in the course of their career to-date gained site experience at more than one type of site, typically onshore petrol-chemical and LNG facilities or offshore oil and gas construction sites, where they will have gained exposure to a wide range of start-up / commissioning related activities. At this level, individuals will have demonstrated creativity, foresight, and engineering judgment in anticipating and solving engineering problems efficiently and economically.
The role requires the use of advanced techniques and modification and extension of theories, and practices of the field and related disciplines. The individual may have contributed inventions, patents, and new designs or techniques which are regarded as major advances, or which significantly reduce professional services hours on projects. Such personnel would have wide experience of using process simulators such as HYSYS and ProII across a range of applications and also be knowledgeable in related fields such as advanced process control/process optimisation.
In addition to a strong technical background such personnel would be expected to display good management skills, an in-depth understanding of the oil and gas industry, an appreciation of how contracting works in reality and demonstrate a strong team focus. They would be able to work with engineering, drafting and non-technical staff to meet schedules and budgets. In addition they would be able to work within a team by understanding and respecting the needs of other disciplines. In particular, they would be able to adapt the detail of work scopes so that schedules and budgets are met whilst maintaining engineering design quality and integrity at all times.
Minimum requirements for such personnel would be a first degree in Chemical Engineering and in addition full professional engineering qualification as a Chartered Engineer (Member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers or recognised equivalent). |
