What is a Chemical Process Simulation job?

A Chemical Process Simulation job involves using computer models to design, optimize, and analyze chemical processes in industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Professionals in this role employ simulation software to predict process behavior, assess efficiency, and troubleshoot potential issues before implementation. They work closely with engineers and scientists to improve safety, reduce costs, and enhance overall process performance. Strong knowledge of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and software like Aspen Plus or HYSYS is often required for success in this field.

What are some typical daily responsibilities for professionals working in Chemical Process Simulation?

Professionals in Chemical Process Simulation often spend their days developing and validating process models using specialized simulation software, analyzing data to optimize process performance, and preparing detailed technical reports. They work closely with process engineers, project managers, and sometimes plant operators to ensure that simulation results align with real-world operations. Daily tasks may include troubleshooting process issues, making recommendations for design improvements, and supporting engineering projects from concept through to implementation. This collaborative and analytical environment offers a mix of independent technical work and team-based problem solving.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Chemical Process Simulation position, and why are they important?

To excel in Chemical Process Simulation, you typically need a background in chemical engineering or a related field, strong analytical skills, and a good grasp of thermodynamics and process control. Familiarity with simulation software such as Aspen Plus, HYSYS, or CHEMCAD, and certifications like Professional Engineer (PE) can be important assets. Effective communication, problem-solving, and teamwork are valuable soft skills for this role. These capabilities are critical to accurately modeling processes, addressing technical challenges, and collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Job description

OVERVIEW
PROCESS is currently seeking multiple senior level Process Design Chemical Engineers for executing process design and process engineering projects across a variety of industrial market segments. Design assignments are expected to be primarily in the Oak Ridge, TN office but may require some occasional on-site plant data collection work in other locations across the U.S. as a senior engineer (< 10% travel). Projects include feasibility studies, FEL-0, FEL-1, FEL-2, and FEL-3, PSV sizing, process troubleshooting, technical and economic process alternative evaluations, process support during detailed engineering phase, etc.
LOCATION
Oak Ridge, Tennessee (25 miles from Knoxville)
JOB REQUIREMENTS
  • B.S. in chemical engineering from an accredited university
  • Advanced degrees (M.S. or M.B.A.) and professional registration are a plus but not required.
  • A minimum of 10+ years of process design, process simulation development, and project management experience.
  • Must be well versed in typical chemical process engineering deliverables, i.e. process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, heat and mass balances, equipment specifications, etc.
  • Ideal experience includes management of internal or external clients to scope projects, resolve issues, install/startup processes, and successfully drive projects to completion.
  • Some business development experience a plus but not required.

COMPENSATION
Based on qualifications and experience.
