• Develop and implement appropriate plant/process monitoring and optimization systems and perform Equipment Performance Evaluations.
• Provide process engineering assistance/support to the Operations Team as required.
• Provide evaluations on assigned and self-initiated tasks (identifying, analyzing, and recommending actions to address abnormal and less efficient plant parameters).
• Participate in incident investigation teams for troubleshooting and determining the root cause of plant issues/problems.
• Assist in the review of changes to the plant “cause and effect matrix” to improve plant reliability and protect plant assets.
• Support in the development of plant modifications for projects within all degrees of complexity.
• Understand and comply with the Management of Change (MOC) process.
• Participate in ‘What Ifs’ and HAZOP studies.
• Be up to date with and apply state-of-the-art developments/technologies applicable to the methanol industry, as required.
• Provide necessary process engineering support to guide the timing of plant shutdowns and turnarounds.
• Provide process engineering support on plant shutdown and turnaround activities – planning and execution phases.
• Work with contractors and outside vendors/suppliers to develop project concepts, quoting, developing the scope of work, and cost justifications for projects.
• Provide process engineering support in the development and review of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Live up to the key values of the Organization and act accordingly during the whole life cycle of our human assets.
• Present a professional image at all times to co-workers, clients, and vendors and maintain a positive reputation of the Organization.
• Actively seek and pursue the development of skills needed to progress in the field of engineering and leadership/management.

• Support and promote a pro-active HSSE culture within the Organization and develop leadership skills in HSSE.
• Ensure and improve effective HSSE management.
• Ensure all HSSE systems and procedures are adhered to.
• Perform compliance audits, as required, and take appropriate action to correct non- compliance and reinforce positive behaviors.
• Provide process engineering support to the Operations Team in the development of guidelines to ensure the plant and equipment are operated in a manner that poses no threat to the environment.
• Provide technical support to the Operations Team in the management of the containment and clean-up of spills, ensuring proper handling and disposal of hazardous substances.
• Ensure and improve effective Incident Management Response.
• Ensure all incidents are promptly reported, participate in investigations as necessary, and complete assigned tasks within the stipulated time.
• Ensure and improve effective Asset Management.
• Provide process engineering support to the Operations Team in the development and routine review of guidelines and procedures to ensure Plant and equipment are operated within design limits.
• Provide process engineering support to assess abnormal Plant conditions and develop guidelines to mitigate and manage these conditions.
• Support full compliance to HSSE-related legislation & regulations, corporate requirements, and management system(s) (i.e., operating policies and procedures).
• Assist other Departments and other administrative personnel as necessary.

Education, Experience, and/or Training

• Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering required.
• Minimum six (6) years of experience in Process Engineering required.
