Process Engineer Provide process engineering expertise and project implementation management in support of operations, technology, and the business group ensuring that plant operations run as efficiently as possible in order to maximize profits while consistently achieving the highest safety performance goals. Act as an internal and external technology expert supporting existing plants in questions of technology and optimization of operations. Lead the global variable cost reduction initiative which focuses on process and energy optimization. Continual variable cost improvement on a year-to-year basis is expected. Observe plant operations then develop, suggest, and implement improvements. This entails completing process simulations and optimization studies, then recommending and implementing modifications and process installations at the site level. Provide technical solutions and perform higher order troubleshooting to solve reliability/processing problems and eliminate bottlenecks at production sites where capacity is being tested. Develop ideas generated by the R&D technology department and scale up processes for commercial production. Completed process design packages with sizing and operability defined are the deliverables to be submitted to project management. Act as the process engineering lead for the development of toll manufacturing capacity. This includes evaluating several toll manufacturers and their equipment for fit versus our processing needs. Act as a technical expert on-site at the toll manufacturer during critical start-up of new campaigns and during routine campaigns when trouble is encountered. Act as an internal process safety expert and champion process safety interests by leading process hazard studies (HAZOP) and performing pre-startup safety reviews (PSSR) for all sites domestic and abroad. This includes the requisite 5-year validations on HAZOPS and initial studies for all implemented projects. Support plant turnaround activities by filling various roles on the management team and acting as project manager for larger capital scope items. Possess enough experience and a working knowledge of the operations engineer's position for each plant to act as a successful substitute when needed. Level of Education & Experience BS Chemical Engineering required 5 years in the Chemical/Refining Industry , encompassing a broad set of technical experiences. High level process management and control skills are required, along with good interpersonal skills to help define and affect necessary actions. Should have a keen business acumen to help manage optimal performance of manufacturing processes and create opportunities (or identify threats) for the business. J-18808-Ljbffr
