What you will enjoy doing*
- In this role, you will
be responsible for leading the identification, development and implementation of cryogenic air separation improvements and replication of best practices to optimize efficiency, debottleneck capacity and better match the market demands - You will be responsible for supporting plants in selected RBUs in
one or more operating segments, and must interface frequently with local, remote operating center, regional and segment engineers as well as those from the engineering division along with other experts in the COE - You will function independently in a complex environment working with minimal
supervision on first-of-a-kind, complex projects - Identify, develop and implement concepts targeted at improving the performance of air separation units that you support through a series of onsite and remote plant performance reviews
- Support local, regional and segment teams to evaluate proposed improvement concepts
- Support the development and authorization of capex proposals targeting operational improvements
- Act as a conduit to share ideas from other regions and drive the replication of those that are relevant
- Support the development and training of local and regional resources to create an environment that is conducive to identifying, developing and implementing new cost reduction projects
- Collaborate with the engineering organization on the incorporation of cost-effective efficiency/flexibility concepts for new and existing plants
- Support regional teams on the development of specifications for new plants
- Provides expert process trouble shooting assistance for ASU plants as needed
- Contribute to the development of new harmonized standards and the periodic review of existing standards
- Contribute to or lead in the development of technical/safety directives and bulletins
- Review/consult on process safety topics when needed
- Provide input and review for R&D activities pertinent to ASU facilities
What makes you great
- Bachelor's or
Master's Degree (or equivalent) in Chemical Engineering plus 15 years or more of experience in the design and/or operation of air separation plants along with solid fundamental understanding of process simulation, thermodynamics, unit operations (i.e., distillation), fluid flow, heat transfer, and advanced process control philosophy - 7
years or more of experience with the design and/or construction of air separation plants - Understanding of process
engineering documents including process & instrumentation diagrams, process flow diagrams, HAZOP studies and other similar material - Ability
to travel 15 - 25% of the time (mainly international). The travel tends to be concentrated in two to three week blocks rather than spread out over the entire year - Ability
to work independently and an aptitude for problem solving with a high degree of initiative - Ability
to collaborate and communicate with multi-functional teams (operations, engineering, R&D, procurement, safety, etc.)
Preferred experience includes: - A deep
understanding of diverse ASU plant and equipment designs Experience with plant design tools (valve sizing; plate-fin heat exchanger design & rating; compressor performance; etc.), as well as experience with ASU performance testing and reconciling plant and unit operation performance to compare with design expectations - Comprehensive
understanding of safety, operational, control, and troubleshooting aspects of ASUs developed through several years of hands-on experience as well as field experience with ASU plant commissioning and startup activities - Excellent
analytical skills, capable of translating large sets of plant operating data into meaningful ideas and projects - Ability
to provide technical leadership and direction in communicating complex plant-wide sets of improvement ideas and turning them into executable projects - Experience
with or exposure to scope definition and cost estimation of capex projects in a brownfield environment International project experience; cultural and interpersonal sensitivity
