Position OverviewWe are seeking a Senior Facilities Engineer with proven experience in upstream oil and gas facilities to lead design, evaluation, and support of surface production systems. This role will oversee engineering for central tank batteries, compression, dehydration, vapor recovery, pipelines, measurement and saltwater disposal systems, ensuring safe, efficient and code-compliant facilities across Permian Basin and other onshore developments. The Senior Facilities Engineer will provide technical leadership on process modeling, equipment selection, regulatory compliance, and project delivery from feasibility through commissioning.
Key ResponsibilitiesLead engineering design and technical execution for upstream surface facilities including central tank batteries, wellsite equipment, compression, dehydration, vapor recovery units (VRUs), measurement skids, pipelines and saltwater disposal systems.
Develop process flow diagrams, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, material takeoffs, cost estimates and construction support documentation for facilities projects.
Perform process modeling and simulation using HYSYS, ProMax and Pipeflow to size equipment, validate operating cases and optimize production and utility systems.
Ensure designs meet applicable industry codes and standards (ASME, API, NFPA) and client, safety and environmental requirements.
Manage vendor evaluation and equipment selection for pressure vessels, tanks, separators, pumps, compressors, heaters and other rotating equipment.
Prepare technical reports, basis of design documents, and safety reviews (HAZOP, LOPA input) to support project approvals and risk mitigation.
