Lead Process Design Engineer

About the Role

Join us as a Senior Process Lead to build, lead, and develop a high‑performing Process Engineering team within a Global Capability Center (GCC). You will drive end‑to‑end process engineering deliverables across Pre‑Basic Engineering, Basic Engineering, and Detail Engineering work packages. This role focuses on PFDs, P&IDs, equipment lists, layout planning, piping, and HSE compliance, while ensuring QA/QC, documentation, and global stakeholder coordination.

You will collaborate with cross‑functional engineering disciplines, align to COMOS, E3D, SAP, and standardize process engineering practices for consistent, high‑quality delivery in a global onshore–offshore model.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership & Development
• Build, mentor, and lead a Process Engineering team in the GCC;
  manage capacity, resourcing, and workload;
  foster a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
• Process Engineering Execution
• Own and oversee PFD and P&ID creation and revision;
  develop equipment lists and specifications for static, rotating, and special equipment;
  provide technical inputto layout planning and piping disciplines;
  prepare plant documentation and manuals for handover.
• HSE, QA/QC & Compliance
• Plan and conduct safety reviews/meetings;
  ensure compliance with HSE standards and international codes and standards;
  drive QA/QC rigor across deliverables;
  support construction and commissioning phases.
• Engineering Coordination & Standards
• Align with global engineering standards, project specifications, and tools (COMOS, E3D, SAP);
  coordinate with specialized engineers and discipline leads to resolve technical challenges;
  maintain project documentation, status reports, and stakeholder communication.
• Project Interface & Vendor Support
• Act as the primary process point of contact;
  coordinate interfaces across disciplines;
  support procurement activities and vendor evaluations for process equipment;
  drive standardization and harmonization of process engineering practices.

Required Skills

• Deep experience in Process Engineering within petrochemical/process/industrial environments across Pre‑Basic, Basic, and Detail Engineering phases.
• Hands‑on with PFDs, P&IDs, equipment lists, equipment specifications, layout planning, piping, and process documentation.
• Familiarity with COMOS, E3D, SAP, project tools, and engineering methodologies;
  strong QA/QC, HSE, and compliance orientation.
• Proven ability to lead teams in a GCC/onshore–offshore delivery model;
  excellent stakeholder management and cross‑discipline coordination.
• Outstanding communication, leadership, mentoring, and problem‑solving skills in global, multicultural environments.

Nice to Have

• Experience with GCC/GIC setups, international project delivery, and global interface management.
• Knowledge of HAZOP/HAZID, process safety reviews, and commissioning best practices.
• Familiarity with international codes and standards (e.G., ASME, API, IEC) and supplier/contract workflows.
• Exposure to process tools (e.G., Aspen/HYSYS or similar) and documentation control systems.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 15+ years in process engineering, with 5+ years in a leadership role.
• Proven success in international projects and cross‑cultural team management.
