Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced and highly driven Senior Process Engineer with a strong background in EPC project execution and proven history of developing FEED packages for chemicals / fuels and novel process scale-up, to lead the development and execution of our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) gas-to-methanol conversion technology.

This position offers a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in commissioning of a transformative, cost-effective chemicals production technology. In this role you will lead key engineering efforts across FEED, detailed design, fabrication, and start-up, partnering closely with EPC contractors, technology partners, and internal R&D teams.

This role is ideal for an experienced process engineer who is eager to apply EPC discipline to emerging clean technologies, and help scale innovative gas-to-chemicals solutions to commercial reality.

Role Responsibilities

• Lead engineering efforts for FOAK systems from engineering design through commissioning, ensuring delivery of safe, robust, and scalable process design
• Provide technical leadership on core process engineering deliverables such as Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Heat and Material Balances and Equipment datasheets and specifications
• Execute and validate process simulations using Aspen HYSYS to support equipment sizing and system optimization
• Drive and support FEED and detailed engineering in collaboration with EPC firms, ensuring alignment with project schedules, cost targets, and regulatory requirement
• Support HAZOPs, PHAs, and other process safety reviews, integrating best practices into engineering design and operation plans
• Oversee the design, procurement, and integration of modular / skid-mounted process systems, ensuring fit-for-purpose design and manufacturability
• Provide hands-on technical support during FAT, commissioning, and start-up of pilot and demonstration systems, including on-site troubleshooting and optimization
• Assist development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), control philosophies, and start-up guides to ensure safe and consistent plant operation
• Work cross-functionally with R&D, operations, and business development teams to meet technical milestones and customer-driven performance metrics
