Senior Process Engineer

Role Overview

The Process Engineer will be responsible for the design, engineering, and technical assurance of utility and process systems for offshore wind platform projects, with primary focus on Potable Water, Service Water, Drain Systems, Black/Grey Water Systems, Diesel/Fuel Oil Systems, and Associated Utility Systems . The role involves ensuring compliance with German regulations, DNV standards, IEC requirements, and project-specific specifications throughout the engineering lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and review Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Design Basis, Control Philosophies, and Cause & Effect Charts.
• Perform hydraulic calculations for water and drainage systems, including pump sizing, tank sizing, pressure loss calculations, and utility consumption estimates.
• Design and engineer:
• Potable Water Systems, Desalination system
• Fresh Water Distribution Systems
• Drain Systems (Hazardous and Non-Hazardous)
• Black Water and Grey Water Systems
• Diesel Storage and Transfer Systems
• Fuel Supply Systems for Emergency Generators
• Prepare equipment datasheets and technical requisitions for pumps, tanks, filters, separators, analyzers, and packaged utility systems.
• Conduct design reviews, HAZID, HAZOP, SIL, and ALARP studies.
• Interface with package vendors, clients, certification authorities, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Review vendor documents and ensure integration with overall platform design.
• Support construction, commissioning, and offshore installation activities by resolving technical queries and reviewing site modifications.
• Ensure compliance with project requirements, technical standards, and safety regulations.
