BS in engineering from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program with a strong academic background.
Excellent oral and written communication skills required as well as a professional demeanor.
Excellent teamwork skills.
Able to travel as necessary for client meetings, job site visits, start-up activities, off-site training, industry related conventions/seminars, etc. (up to 20% travel).

Nice To Haves

Oil and gas industry experience in midstream and/or upstream.
Skills in HYSYS, Synergi, VMG Symmetry, and/or ProMax preferred.
Willing or able to solve problems using modern tools: expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
Many engineers in these roles build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results.
Programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or data transformation is valued but not required.
Additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other training in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that helps you apply automation or agentic AI to real engineering problems.
