Process Engineer I

Hargrove Engineers & Constructors•Birmingham, AL

About The Position

This position is generally responsible for performing routine designs of less complex engineering assignments using theoretical knowledge and practical design methods. This work will be performed under direct supervision. Primary responsibilities will include promoting a culture of working safely and applying safety-related concepts into process design, utilizing department standards, procedures, and guidelines, and familiarizing with project scope, specifications, and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team. The role involves assisting in developing conceptual layouts and cost studies, producing estimate-level preliminary designs and material take-offs, and generating detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction. The engineer will also assist in producing designs with efficient use of construction materials, focusing on ease of construction and meeting client expectations, and resolving routine layout and detailing problems with design groups. Collaboration with design leaders from other disciplines is expected to ensure the smooth flow of information for project completion. Willingness to travel as required for on-site work, project meetings, or training opportunities is also a requirement.

Requirements

Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Biochemical, or Petroleum Engineering from an accredited university is required.
Up to 1 year of relevant industrial experience in chemical, petroleum or biochemical process design engineering.
Basic knowledge of chemical/biochemical process design engineering and chemical/biochemical process computer programs.
Proficient in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
Good communication skills, both verbal and written.
Developing virtual team skills and cross divisional relationships, and supporting interoffice execution with direct supervision.
