• Lead the development of requirements and design options for engineering packages.
• Basic performance analysis of fluid systems using commercial and in-house developed thermal-hydraulic codes e.g. fluid flow analysis of pipework systems, to determine systems losses, pressure drops, pump design selection, pressure vessel sizing and heat exchanger sizing.
• Design substantiation and safety justification of process systems, including use of evaluation techniques such as hazard identification (HAZOP), fault tree analysis, FMECAs and implementation of As Low As reasonably Practicable principles.
• Ensuring that principles of inherent safety, hierarchy of controls and simplification are embedded into the design.

• A strong understanding of fluid mechanics / dynamics fundamental theory. (CFD)
• A degree or equivalent in Mechanical, Chemical or Process Engineering (other science and engineering-based disciplines will be considered).
• A basic process engineering and mathematical solver software ability.
• Collaborative approach with the ability to work with multiple stakeholders of varying disciplines and technical ability.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.
