POSITION SUMMARY:

The Rening Technology group seeks to create maximum value for our shareholders through pro-active unit optimization and achieve "best in class" performance based upon yields, protability, reliability, safety and environmental compliance. Rening Technology provides technical expertise, operational support, commercial support, process optimization, new technology development and process design support to Marathon's renery system.

The Process Design Technologist role is the main conduit for identifying and implementing projects and processes to improve Marathon's Processing Units to achieve greater performance and eciency. The Process Design Technologist will work with Process Technologists and Refinery Unit Engineers along with external licensors and vendors with the purpose of identifying innovative solutions to drive renery performance improvements.

This position will report to the Process Engineering Technology Manager. This position maybe based in any of Marathon's 16 renery locations, or the Findlay, Ohio or San Antonio, Texas headquarters. Travel requirement for this position is approximately 25%.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Provides process engineering technical leadership to ensure clarity and accuracy of design against project goals and objectives. Proactively engages with Refinery Technical Service engineers, refinery and corporate environmental, and Operations to ensure scope clarity and accuracy against project goals and objectives. Collaborates with other engineering disciplines. Identify and develop modifications to optimize the process, improve reliability, improve safety, improve sustainability, or improve environmental performance. Project size may range from small single unit modifications to large capital projects involving multiple refinery process units. Drives assigned scoping studies and provide leadership for idea generation in the pre-conceptual phase. Perform process simulations and calculations to support equipment sizing, hydraulic analysis, and energy optimization.
May lead process engineering for comprehensive Conceptual phase content. Works with Asset Development Engineers to develop and understand business case(s) and associated economic drivers. Develops project economics and work with Engineering to complete decision support packages. Owns process related deliverables and define a solid scope in Feasibility for effective Definition stage deliverables. Supports detailed engineering resulting in complete "Issued for Construction" drawings that maintain design against prior stage definition, overall project goals, and Implementation stage objectives. Provides process input for project pre-startup review and startup. Works with unit engineers to organize and conduct unit performance tests to determine if benefits are realized.
Provides oversight to engineering contractors performing process work for project development. Develops technical and scope documents to support process engineering oversight of assigned projects. Leads development of PFDs, P&IDs, PSM activities and reviews, control narratives, and cause & effect documents from initial design. Participates in development and implementation of operator training and operating manuals. Provides leadership for the development, maintenance and overall quality of other typical process engineering deliverables, including process design basis, heat and mass balances, process simulations, equipment sizing and design, ISBL/OSBL (inside battery limits, outside battery limits) interface conditions, and other items relevant to assigned projects.
Maintains working relationships with third-party licensors, technology vendors, catalyst/chemical suppliers, and engineering contractors to provide technical direction to refinery project teams and during contract revisions / negotiations. Providing technical guidance related to operating procedures, environmental compliance, management of change, safety and relief system operation and design. Ensures adherence to process engineering guidelines, refining standard practices, and supporting process hazard reviews and incident investigations.
Advises engineers and drive complex troubleshooting efforts that span multiple units / multiple sites. Interfaces with other departments and disciplines to develop repair/redesign options to address acute or chronic operating problems that span broad or chronic refinery-wide problems such as product quality issues, corrosion and fouling mechanisms, and equipment failures. Draws on learnings to influence changes to refining-wide corporate standards and guidance related to design, equipment care, and process operation in support of health, environmental, and process safety objectives.
Collaborates with commercial, feedstock/products organizations, operations, and refinery process engineers to identify and accomplish site and regional optimization strategies by changing operation of existing assets. Recommends new operating conditions; understand advanced process control concepts and participate in development of new control strategies for profit or efficiency improvement. Assesses viability of producing new products / meeting new specifications for entry into markets. Works with Asset Development Engineers and Refinery Project Teams to develop and understand business case(s) and associated economic drivers.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering required.
Eight (8) years or more years of process design engineering experience within refining or other heavy industry required.
Proficiency in process simulation tools (e.g., Aspen Plus, Aspen Hysys, KBC Petro-Sim, HTRI).
Strong knowledge of process engineering fundamentals, equipment design, safety standards, and project execution workflows.

As an energy industry leader, our career opportunities fuel personal and professional growth.
