Process and Chemical Engineering Fellow (Intern)

About the Role

The role of a process engineering fellow involves designing and optimizing processes and equipment to improve efficiency, productivity, and quality. The process design fellow is responsible for analyzing existing processes, identifying areas for improvement, and developing innovative solutions to enhance overall performance. An engineering problem within the factory will be defined for the process engineering fellow to solve through the project management framework. The process design fellow applies their creativity and principles of process engineering design to convert concepts into tangible and impactful solutions.    

Their key responsibilities typically include: Process Analysis, Problem-Solving, Process Design, Process Optimization, Data Analysis, Continuous Improvement, Compliance and Safety, Documentation, Vendor Management, and Training.

Duties and Responsibilities

•  Perform hydraulic calculations to determine line sizes, pump specifications, and control valve sizing.
• Perform heat transfer calculations to determine heat exchanger duty requirements and sizing.
•  Develop piping and instrumentation diagrams (P ID) for different processing units, including details such as line sizes, control valves, isolation valves and control logic.
• Participate in and leading P&.ID review session.
• Participate in Hazard and Operability (HARP) studies.
• Create close-out reports for P&.ID review sessions and HAZOP sessions.
•  Contribute to reviews of vendor documentation and other discipline documents.
•  Develop line-lists and setting hydro-test boundary limits.
• Create operating guidelines and start-up/commissioning procedures.
• Interact with other disciplines and vendors to ensure design accuracy.
• Lead Equipment installation, commissioning, operator training and handover.
•  Audit site operations to ensure equipment work instructions have been fully adopted.

Qualifications

• An Engineering degree in either Process/Chemical/Civil or Mechanical.
• Good understanding of chemical engineering concepts specifically fluid dynamics and heat transfer models.
•  Experience developing or contributing to control philosophies and operating guidelines.
• Experience developing or contributing to the sizing of processing equipment such as pumps, blowers, heat exchangers, piping systems, and control valves.
• Detail-oriented with demonstrated capability to analyze processing systems efficiently and rapidly.
• Ability to look beyond the most obvious solution to provide engineering designs that are safe, practical, reliable, and cost effective.
• A learning mindset and interest in taking on board constructive feedback from senior engineer’s order to develop their process engineering expertise while delivering solutions that meet design requirements and stakeholder expectations.
• A proactive attitude, with a willingness to get involved and learn by doing.
• Ability to communicate clearly in both verbal and written form.
