• Perform process engineering calculations including line sizing, hydraulic analysis, and equipment sizing.
• Develop and review Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
• Develop process control philosophies, safeguarding strategies, and operating logic.
• Ensure proper implementation of control schemes, interlocks, trips, and alarms.
• Lead P&ID reviews and close HAZOP actions with appropriate documentation.
• Develop Cause and Effect Diagrams, Control Narratives, and Safeguarding Narratives.
• Prepare process datasheets for major static and rotating equipment.
• Define process scope of supply for packaged equipment.
• Review vendor, licensor, and contractor documentation for technical compliance.
• Evaluate technical bids and provide inputs to Technical Bid Evaluations (TBEs).
• Coordinate with Process Safety, Mechanical, Piping, Instrumentation, and Electrical disciplines.
• Provide engineering inputs including relief and blowdown loads, line lists, process data sheets, and electrical load requirements.
• Manage interfaces with licensors, technology providers, vendors, and contractors.
• Participate in process safety, constructability, and 3D model review workshops.
• Support project proposals, scope development, and man-hour estimates for in-house engineering projects.
• Ensure compliance with SABIC Engineering Standards (SES) and regulatory requirements including RCER and HCIS.
