Advanced Chemical Engr

Responsibilities

Deliver assigned process engineering work within approved hours, schedule, and quality requirements, and communicate progress and potential impacts to scope, schedule, budget, or quality to the Project Manager. Review the work of others for technical accuracy and compliance with established engineering practices and procedures. Serve as the process engineering interface among UOP Schedule A, Technical Services, Modular Engineering, detail design contractors, fabricators, suppliers, and customers, and support technical discussions as required.

Review customer specifications against the Schedule A package, resolve gaps or inconsistencies, and coordinate required Schedule A deviation requests and approved changes. Develop Modular Process Flow Diagrams and participate in design reviews, providing process guidance on equipment functionality, heat tracing, insulation, and operating requirements. Develop and maintain process design deliverables, including line lists, utility summaries, auxiliary lists, maintenance schedules, and specifications for PSVs or other items by others, as required by the project.

Establish process and design conditions for piping and equipment using Schedule A information and applicable operating procedures, including startup and regeneration requirements. Represent Modular Engineering in HAZOP reviews, coordinate responses to open recommendations, and implement approved action items. Lead process engineering support during detailed design by responding to technical queries and providing clarification, verification, and guidance to the detail design contractor.

Review hydraulic calculations and reports for pumps, compressors, blowers, instrument circuits, control valves, flow elements, and pressure safety valve systems, and coordinate with relevant disciplines to resolve identified issues. Review 3D models and final P&IDs to verify compliance with process and Schedule A requirements, including equipment layout, piping configuration, minimum distances, connection orientation, free-draining requirements, and resolution of documented discrepancies.

Prepare technical requirements, requests for quotation, and technical bid evaluations for additional licensors or process-related services when required. Support Modular project development and proposal activities through technical coordination with Sales and Sales Support, including development of OSBL conceptual designs based on ISBL information. Identify opportunities to improve process engineering work practices, design tools, and project execution quality.
