Your mission:

• Development of selected process engineering solutions to appropriate level of detail for capital expenditure (capex) application.
• Ensure control and management of key process deliverables i.e. P&IDs.
• Actively involved with the identification and selection of suitable process engineering solutions for projects during the project planning phase.
• Perform process engineering calculations.
• Provide inputs to the preliminary engineering plans during the initiating phase of a project, and detailed engineering plans during the planning phase of a project from a process engineering point of view.
• Accountable for implementation of process engineering solutions after capex approval. This will be done in conjunction with original equipment suppliers
• and external design consultants where necessary.
• Co-ordination of process drawing and design work and ensuring proper approval of all related process drawings.
• Ensuring that all relevant project documentation and drawings supplied by equipment suppliers / consultants are reviewed and approved.
• Management and coordination of work conducted by external design consultants and suppliers.
• Ensuring that relevant engineering processes and standards are applied.
• Provide first line troubleshooting and problem solving expertise for process problems.
• Resource management within the process discipline and conducting performance reviews for staff personnel.
