Lead Process Engineer

Role & Responsibilities :-

Design & Engineering Leadership • Own and issue the project Basis of Design (BOD), design basis memoranda, and process design criteria for electrolysis, synthesis loop, and utility/BOP systems. •

Develop and approve PFDs, heat & material balances, and P&IDs across all operating cases (design, turndown, start-up, shutdown) using process simulation tools (Aspen Plus/HYSYS/PRO-II). • Lead equipment sizing basis and datasheets for reactors, columns, heat exchangers, compressors, electrolyser stacks/BOP, and other process equipment; issue for ME/PIPE detailed design.

• Define utility consumption balance (power, cooling water, N, instrument air, steam) and interface requirements for downstream disciplines. • Own line sizing philosophy and issue line lists/line class assignment basis for PIPE; review piping GA/isometrics for process adequacy.

• Lead catalyst, chemical, and consumables selection and specification, and technology licensor interface for electrolyser/synthesis technologies. Process Safety & Relief Systems

• Lead HAZOP node walkthroughs as the process discipline lead, ensuring node boundaries, deviations, and causes are technically sound before PS finalizes safeguards. • Own relief load calculation basis (blocked outlet, fire case, control valve failure, etc.) and coordinate PSV/relief device sizing and blowdown/flare header basis with PS and PIPE.

• Ensure PS findings and safeguard recommendations from HAZOP/LOPA are incorporated into the design without dilution due to schedule pressure, escalating conflicts rather than resolving unilaterally.

• Support MOC (Management of Change) technical evaluation for process design changes during detailed engineering and site execution. Vendor, Procurement & Commissioning Support

• Lead technical bid evaluation (TBE) for major process packages (electrolyser, compressor, synthesis loop, purification systems) and licensor/package vendor engineering interface. • Review vendor process guarantees, performance curves, and datasheets for compliance with the process design basis.

• Support pre-commissioning, commissioning, and

performance guarantee test run planning, including start-up/operating procedures input.

• Supervise and mentor process engineers within the discipline; review deliverables for technical adequacy prior to inter-discipline issue.

• Coordinate proactively with EE, PIPE, ME, C&I, PS, CV and PROP desks per the defined interface matrix; flag numeric or scope conflicts explicitly rather than averaging or picking one silently.

• Engage early with the PROP desk for scope definition, technology selection input, and cost basis alignment during proposal stage.

• Maintain discipline document register and ensure timely issue of deliverables per project schedule (IDC/IFR/IFC)
