Facility/Process Engineer – Perform process and/or mechanical design of oil and gas onshore/offshore production, transmission, and distribution facilities, including new installations as well as upgrades and retrofits to existing terminals, platforms and pipelines
Responsibilities
Occasionally travel out of town for short periods of time as required by projects and assignments
Site visits, both onshore and offshore, to gather existing data/details and survey available space and infrastructure to support facility upgrades, modifications, or remediation.
Ability to walkdown oil/gas facilities creating flow schematics by redlining or sketching from scratch. Follow through with drafting department to CAD redlines/hand sketches into useable record drawings back in the office.
Coordinate/interface effectively with a wide diversity of personnel with varying technical backgrounds including engineers, designers, vendors, and management.
Develop, Design, and/or review
P&IDs, mechanical flow sheets, and safety flow diagrams.
Regulatory submittals (e.g. BSEE, USCG, and ABS).
Engineering studies
Liquid and gas Piping system.
Process design basis details and documentation
Perform and/or review Process/mechanical engineering studies (i.e. de-bottlenecking, vent/relief, hydraulic analysis, pipe stress, API 14C compliance, firewater/deluge, material selection) and develop associated reports and spreadsheets.
Sizing calculations for process and utility equipment, piping, in-line instruments, valves, and pipelines using available tools process simulations and develop process flow diagrams with associated heat and material balance tables.
Process Hazards Analysis and Risk Identification.
Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) and/or Detailed Engineering for Greenfield or Brownfield design projects for onshore and/or offshore facilities.
Design of process (production separation, sour production sweetening, oil and gas dehydration, produced water treatment, export metering) and/or utility (fuel gas, chemical injection, instrument air, diesel, heat medium, cooling, drainage, power generation) systems.
Design and Vendor interface for static (pressure vessels, tanks) and rotating (pumps, compressors, engines) equipment packages.
Prepare, modify and/or review data sheets and technical specifications for process equipment, instruments, manual and actuated valves, piping systems, specialty items, etc. to meet specific project requirements.
Provide on-site, both onshore and offshore, construction, commissioning, startup and operational assistance.
