1) Key Responsibilities:
The Senior Process Engineer will be responsible for providing high-level technical input, executing detailed design work, and ensuring the quality assurance of process deliverables for the FPSO Topsides facilities throughout the EPCC phase.
a) Technical Execution & Quality Assurance
- Execute detailed process engineering design activities covering major Topsides systems (e.g., Separation, Gas Compression, Water Treatment, and core Utilities).
- Demonstrated hands-on experience in performing fundamental process engineering calculations (e.g., equipment sizing, line sizing/hydraulics, pressure relief, heat and material balances) and the subsequent preparation of
associated deliverables (e.g., PFD, UFD, P&ID, Process Data Sheets, Process Design Basis, Heat and Material Balance tables).
- Assist the System Lead Process Engineer as a technical checker for critical process deliverables, ensuring strict adherence to project specifications and industry standards.
- Develop and finalize process documentation to support procurement and construction phases.
b) EPCC Phase Support
- Conduct thorough technical reviews of vendor submissions, ensuring compliance with specifications for major equipment packages.
- Actively participate in and provide expert input during all formal safety review processes, including HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) and SIL (Safety Integrity Level) studies, contributing process expertise across all relevant Topsides
sections to ensure design safety.
- Provide essential technical support to site teams during fabrication, pre- commissioning, and commissioning activities, assisting in the resolution of Site Technical Queries (STQs).
- Ensure all design work and documentation adhere to project standards, international codes, and regulatory requirements.
c) Interdiscipline Input & Collaboration
- Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers within the process team.
- Provide necessary process engineering input to other disciplines (e.g., Mechanical, Piping, Instrumentation, Electrical, Safety) to resolve interface issues, finalize layouts, and ensure technical consistency across the entire Topsides design.
- Support the System Lead Process Engineer for respective system work scopes with technical execution, scheduling, and progress monitoring.
- Actively manage and implement all identified client's comments and requirements on process deliverables. Provide timely feedback to the Project Management Team and internally on the impact of client requests, identifying and escalating potentially necessary change orders.
2) Qualification:
a) Education & Experience
- Minimum Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum or Chemical Engineering
- Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in the Oil & Gas industry, with significant experience in Offshore or FPSO Topsides projects.
- Preference will be given to candidates who have worked as a Senior Engineer,or higher for at least one (1) FPSO EPCC project.
b) Technical Skills
- Broad, hands-on experience in the detailed design and engineering of multiple FPSO Topsides systems, including a strong foundation in hydrocarbon separation, stabilization, compression, and major utility systems.
- Sufficient technical knowledge to function as a deliverables checker for critical P&IDs, equipment datasheets, simulation reports, and process philosophies.
- Proficiency in industry-standard process simulation software (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, PRO/II) for complex process modeling and analysis.
- Comprehensive knowledge of international codes, standards, and regulatory requirements applicable to FPSO and offshore facilities. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience in compliance with Angolan oil
and gas regulations.
- Strong experience participating in formal safety review processes, particularly HAZOP and SIL assessment.
c) Essential Attributes & Language
- High degree of technical accuracy and attention to detail required for checking deliverables.
- Fluency in English with strong oral and written communication skills is essential; proficiency in Chinese (Mandarin) is a preference.
