Process Integration Lead Engineer

Job Description

• Lead process engineering integration across project phases — owning the creation of overall plant documents including water balances, start-up/shutdown sequences, function descriptions, and main interlocking lists as the basis for control system programming and testing.
• Act as HAZOP study leader and champion plant safety compliance, ensuring robust risk management and adherence to HSE requirements throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Coordinate technical interfaces between the Project Engineering Manager (PEM), EIC teams, and internal/external process engineers, ensuring timely and high-quality engineering deliverables for procurement, execution, and operation manuals.
• Support commissioning activities, conduct process engineering reviews before trial operation, and prepare ‘as-built’ documentation — deputising for the PEM during absences and driving design freeze processes with clear change request management.
• Contribute to proposal management during tender phases, develop KVI technical standards and guidelines, and provide training and technical guidance to junior engineers while managing interfaces with internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in process, mechanical, or chemical engineering (or equivalent), with 5+ years of hands-on experience in technical process integration within major industrial plant construction projects.
• Deep knowledge of process engineering principles, plant automation, and control functions across WtX, RG, PtX, or Carbon Capture technologies, combined with a solid understanding of Functional Safety Life Cycles and Risk Assessment methods (HAZID, HAZOP, ATEX).
• Proven ability to lead technical discussions with internal and external stakeholders, resolve complex engineering problems using systematic approaches, and collaborate effectively across interdisciplinary and multicultural project teams.
• Proficiency in engineering tools (e.g. Aspen, COMOS, document management systems) and good MS Office skills; strong project management capabilities with the ability to prioritise and manage time effectively across concurrent workstreams.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written); willingness to travel to site or suppliers up to 10% of the time; installation and commissioning experience is a distinct advantage.
