Senior Process Engineer at Westflux Integrated Services Ltd

Job Summary

• The Senior Process Engineer will play a key role in the front-end planning, design, development, and optimization of small-scale LNG processing facilities.
• This role involves providing technical expertise in process engineering for LNG liquefaction, regasification, and storage systems. 
• The candidate will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to ensure efficient and safe project execution from conceptual design to commissioning.

Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership:

• Lead process design activities for LNG projects, including liquefaction, regasification, and related systems.
• Provide expertise in process simulation, heat and material balance, equipment sizing, and optimization of LNG processes.
• Act as the technical focal point for process engineering during all project phases.

Process Design & Simulation:

• Develop and review PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams) and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams).
• Perform process simulations using tools such as Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, or other simulation software.
• Conduct heat and material balance calculations and equipment sizing (compressors, heat exchangers, pumps, etc.).

LNG System Optimization:

• Evaluate LNG liquefaction cycles (e.g., C3MR, SMR, DMR) and recommend improvements.
• Support process optimization to enhance plant efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize emissions.
• Validate and optimize OEM design for modularized equipment packages

Project Execution Support:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation) during FEED, detailed engineering, and commissioning phases.
• Review and approve technical documents, vendor packages, and specifications for LNG systems.

Safety & Compliance:

• Ensure designs comply with international standards and industry codes (API, ASME, NFPA, and ISO).
• Participate in HAZOPs, HAZIDs, and risk assessments.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or related discipline. A Master’s degree is a plus.
• Minimum 8-10 years of process engineering experience, with at least 5 years focused on LNG projects.
• Strong understanding of LNG liquefaction and regasification technologies.
• Experience with simulation tools like Aspen HYSYS, ProMax, or UniSim.

Technical Skills

• Proficient in developing PFDs, P&IDs, and process models.
• Familiarity with major LNG processes, including C3MR, SMR, DMR, and ORV vaporization systems.
• Knowledge of industry standards such as API, ASME, and ISO.

Soft Skills:

• Strong leadership and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication abilities.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with modular LNG plants.
• Exposure to cryogenic processes, compressors, and rotating equipment.
• Knowledge of energy efficiency strategies in LNG systems.
