Key Responsibilities

- Lead preparation and review of core process engineering deliverables Mass & Energy Balances, PFDs, P&IDs;, equipment sizing and specifications for pyrolysis and downstream refining units.

- Lead FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) and detailed design for commercial equipment, integrate modular skids, and ensure operability.

- Drive process simulation and optimization studies (HYSYS, ASPEN Plus, ChemCAD or equivalent) to improve yield, energy efficiency and plant throughput; prior experience modeling high-temperature reactors and fractionation columns preferred.

- Lead and participate in HAZOP studies, risk assessments, and plant modification reviews to ensure safe and reliable operations.

- Own technical documentation and standards compliance (ASME, API, ISO) across process packages, including protocols such as Cause & Effect Diagrams, QA/QC, SOPs and MSDS.

- Support technology scale-up from pilot to commercial plant, working closely with R&D; and mechanical/plant teams, including plant erection, commissioning, and troubleshooting.

- Lead procurement, vendor engagement, technical bid analysis and contract negotiation for custom-built engineering equipment (furnaces, heat exchangers, pumps, reactors, packed beds, separation systems).

- Apply knowledge of industrial instrumentation (DCS, PLC,



Statistical Process Control) to process design and operability.

- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders (R&D;, plant operations, EHS, procurement) to ensure timely execution of process engineering deliverables.

- Perform literature reviews and author clear scientific and technical documentation.

Candidate Profile

- Solid fundamentals in process engineering: mass & energy balances, PFDs, P&IDs;, equipment sizing, hydraulics/line sizing.

- Hands-on experience with process simulation tools (HYSYS, ASPEN Plus, ChemCAD or equivalent).

- Working knowledge of HAZOP methodology, relief/safety valve calculations, and risk assessment practices.

- Exposure to vendor/licensor document review and technical evaluations.

- Familiarity with international engineering codes and standards (ASME, API, ISO).

- Strong leadership abilities able to lead and motivate teams, set clear goals and expectations, and provide guidance to achieve them.

- Strategic thinking — able to think critically, make strategic decisions, analyse data, assess risks, and develop plans aligned with company goals.

- Documentation skills — able to review and improve protocols and documents, with experience writing scientific/technical documents.
