What to Expect

Infrastructure Engineering is looking for an innovative Sr. Process Design Engineer to join our Process Utilities Design team. The Process Utilities Design team drives to create the factory of the future by bringing conceptual designs to life, producing cutting-edgedetailed design of chemical and utility systems that are fully integrated with manufacturing and refining plants. What You'll Do

Apply engineering fundamentals and a broad set of process engineering tools to solve technical problems and create novel detailed designs for a wide range of systems including bulk gas storage/distribution, chemical storage and distribution, high purity water (RO/DI), cryogenics, viscous fluids, flammable fluids storage and distribution, wastewater treatment, involving unit operations such as pump and compressor systems, reverse osmosis, filtration, distillation, heat transfer fluid systems

Lead scope development and produce basis of design documentation supporting CAPEX estimation, OPEX projections, and vendor selection

Lead completion of construction drawings for permit and construction execution

Develop process flow diagrams (PFD), process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), 3D equipment layouts, 3D pipe layouts, and isometric fabrication drawings

Generate process engineering calculations and documentation, including: mass and energy balances, hydraulic analysis, thermodynamic system modeling, relief valve selection

Specify equipment, piping, valves, and materials of construction per applicable codes such as

ASME B31.3, B31.9, API

Model equipment and piping in Revit or work directly with modelers to develop fabrication detail drawing packages for Construction What You'll Bring
