Subject Matter Expert – Process Engineering

Overview

• We are hiring for our leading engineering software provider that specializes in the plant, power, and marine industries.
• Some of the key responsibilities will include:
• Support end-to-end deployment and operationalization of predictive analytics and process optimization solutions across customer facilities in the Middle East region.
• Provide process engineering subject matter expertise during asset onboarding, solution configuration, and model development phases.
• Work closely with analytics, data science, product, and delivery teams to ensure predictive and optimization models accurately reflect:
• *Process operating conditions*
• *Heat and mass balance relationships*
• *Equipment performance characteristics*
• *Process constraints*
• *Operating envelopes and plant limitations*
• Support asset criticality assessments, use case definition, and identification of high-value optimization opportunities for:
• *Separators*
• *Compressors*
• *Heat exchangers*
• *Gas processing systems*
• *NGL processing units*
• *Utility and process systems*
• Participate in model validation, alert tuning, calibration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) activities prior to go-live.
• Correlate predictive and optimization model outputs with operational and process data including:
• *Process trends*
• *Throughput data*
• *Energy consumption*
• *Product quality parameters*
• *DCS/APC data*
• *Historical operating record*
• s
• Validate model outputs against actual plant behaviour, process constraints, and operating conditions to improve model accuracy and reliability.
• Support model recalibration activities when process conditions change due to:
• *Well decline*
• *Feed composition shifts*
• *Equipment modifications*
• *Operational strategy changes*
• Provide engineering input to support expansion of optimization coverage to additional process units and facilities.
• To be eligible for this role you will require:
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 10 years of process engineering experience within oil & gas upstream, gas processing, refining, petrochemical, or industrial process environments.
• Direct experience with:
• *Separation systems*
• *Gas compression systems*
• *NGL processing units*
• *Process optimization and operational troubleshooting*
• Strong understanding of:
• *Heat and mass balance principles*
• *Process performance analysis*
• *Production optimization*
• *Process constraints and operating envelopes*
• Familiarity with process simulation tools such as:
• *Aspen HYSYS*
• *Pro/II*
• *Equivalent process simulation platforms*
• Experience translating optimization model outputs into operational guidance for plant operations and control room teams.
• Familiarity with DCS, APC, or real-time optimization environments preferred.
• Experience interpreting operational data from SCADA, PI Historian / OSIsoft, or equivalent industrial systems.
• Familiarity with predictive analytics platforms, industrial AI systems, or digital optimization solutions preferred.
• Middle East or GCC operating environment experience preferred.
