About The Position

The role of Process / Applications Engineer I is responsible for engineering support for project concept design by performing a variety of tasks including; but not limited to, process analysis, process design, ASME code calculations, technical completion of instrument and vessel data sheets, interpretation of project specifications, and economic analysis. The candidate will perform conceptual engineering and design of RFQ packages by providing estimating and project management with a clearly defined project scope of work. This project scope of work will be used to estimate potential business opportunities and execute current opportunities. Uses a broad range of process, mechanical, and instrumentation engineering capabilities to evaluate, develop, model, and optimize ideas in support of capital projects and operational issues. Perform engineering evaluations and technical feasibility of engineered package for new business development. Confer with estimating, project stakeholders, operations, and management, vendor and various subject matter experts to elaborate a proposed project scope definition. Develop technical and commercial package proposals for internal and external customers. Interfaces with outside providers of engineering services to support work effort as needed. Continually develops proficiency in software packages such as those used for process simulation, commercial estimation, and ASME code calculations.
