Job Title

Let me tell you about the roleThe Process Engineer is accountable for assuring unit performance and availability from cycle to cycle. They do this by acting as the primary interface with Operations to support routine, day-to-day asset operations activities such as troubleshooting, providing technical input for operating procedures, and supporting basic process control issues. Process Engineers regularly monitor the units for mass balance closure, catalyst performance, yields, and operation within chemical and physical integrity limits. They deliver operational technical support for process improvements, turnaround activities, performance tests, technical knowledge management, and troubleshooting exercises.This, this role may include working shift/evening/weekend schedules on occasion.Additionally, the Process Engineer will have a key role in various special assignments such as project commissioning, complex unit modeling, and catalyst selection.What you will deliverProcess Safety Management:Participate by providing technical input to process related MOC (Management of Change) reviewsProvide updates for heat and material balances for unit HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) revalidationsTechnical representation in unit HAZOP revalidation and IPL (Independent Protection Layer) meetingsSupport incident investigation activities and action item closureTechnical support for alarm rationalizationProactively identify process and personal safety risks on site and share learningsReview P&ID changes for completeness and accuracyUnit Operations Support:Assist Operations in troubleshooting process deviations. When trade-offs are identified the Process Engineer works with the Optimization Engineer to achieve the best economic operating compromise.Work with Operations to establish and maintain operating procedures for the safe startup, shutdown and routine operation of the unit.Issue guidance and support Operations to commercially optimize units within safe operating limitsDevelop and oversee test runsSupport environmentally compliant operation and work to achieve goal of no damage to the environmentWork with Operations and Reliability Engineers to achieve mechanical availability goalsSupport unit project commissioning and project design basis acceptance activitiesSolicit assistance of Senior Engineer or Process Safety Engineer on behalf of Operations or him/herselfUnit and System Monitoring:Maintain comprehensive unit health monitoring and ensure the quality and completeness of process data including regular mass balances.Provide robust technical recommendations regarding equipment unit constraints and catalyst life cycle management via long term unit health and catalyst performance monitoring toolsProactively identify availability concerns and work solutions to help achieve availability targetsSupport GRIP (Global Reliability Improvement Program) activities as appropriate; including support for unit vulnerability studies, production scorecard updates, and other elementsMonitor energy use and support the energy efficiency improvements plan (with Energy Engineer) for the unitReview unit health on a regular basis with BP Solutions and applicable 3rd parties such as catalyst and chemical vendors.Unit and System Optimization:Provide input to optimization engineers for commercial planning tools and identify opportunities to remove constraintsImplement and optimize refinery volume plan to unit constraints by translating campaign plan drives into actionable operating targets and goals for the operations teamIdentify and support opportunities to grow commercial capabilityTurnaround Support:Generate the process scope for turnaround along with appropriate justification based on unit performanceParticipate in catalyst selection and, as necessary, equipment selection for process related itemsGrow Capability:Deliver personal capability – accountable for growing professionally, mentoring those less experienced, and exploring opportunities that establish the basis for long term career planningDeliver technical learning – accountable for ensuring technical knowledge is captured, maintained, easily retrievable, and shared appropriately in unit technical manualsNetwork with site manufacturing technical representatives, commercial, projects organizations, technology networks, and other BP sites sharing and bringing applied information on short-term tactical and strategic initiatives, programs, and projectsOnboarding new engineers of varying skill levels, including unit training for qualificationsWhat you will need to be successfulMust have educational qualifications:Bachelor’s degree in Chemical engineering or related degree/disciplineMinimum years of relevant experience: 6+yearsTotal years of experience: 10+ YearsMust have experiences/skills (To be hired with):A minimum of 8 years of refining experience in technical, engineering, operations, maintenanceDirect experience with desktop computer applications (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint)Good to have experiences/skills (Can be trained for – learning/on-the-job):Experience in direct process engineering support for a process unitWorking knowledge of unit operationsKnowledge of safety systems (SIS-Safety Instrumented Systems, PSV-Process Safety Valves, etc.)Experience building and maintaining process models and writing code for health monitoring applicationsWorking knowledge of process equipmentStrong desire to develop capabilities working with process engineering tools and process modeling software (Hysys, Petro-sim, etc.)Hydraulic modelling tools (Fathom or equivalent)Heat exchanger modelling (HTRI or equivalent)Shift support2pm-11pm IST
