Job Role Description
The Manufacturing Process Engineer - Advanced is expected to apply process engineering skills, knowledge of manufacturing, and leadership skills to:
- Provide on-site manufacturing and process engineering support to one or more process units within an operating site
- Implement long-term plant improvements and help address day-to-day operating issues
- Support, coach, and advise the technical and manufacturing teams
- Help assess and manage safety risks and promote site competitiveness
- Support and sometimes lead risk management activities and major plant events
- Acquire a strong working knowledge of technology fundamentals for their assigned areas
This role is expected to effectively collaborate, interact, and communicate with partners. The Manufacturing Process Engineer - Advanced will start developing key leadership skills to facilitate the transition from an individual contributor to a technical leader
The Manufacturing Process Engineer - Advanced will assist in the development of less-experienced engineers. They sometimes act as individual contributors, but increasingly work through others, coordinating tasks and guiding teams
Job Role Responsibilities
Technical Support: Lead day-to-day plant operations in assigned areas by applying process engineering fundamentals, manufacturing knowledge, and analytical skills. Collaborate closely with technical specialists and manufacturing personnel to resolve process issues and optimize performance. Apply systematic problem-solving techniques, frequently leading investigations and complex troubleshooting activities within assigned units.
Improvement Initiatives: Identify, propose, and pursue longer-term improvement initiatives in collaboration with cross-functional asset improvement teams and applicable experts, typically focused on process safety, quality, reliability, and capacity improvements. Scope facility modifications and support commissioning and start-up activities. Identify and screen proposed changes to catalysts, feedstocks, chemicals, and operating envelopes, utilizing the Management of Change process. Contribute to site business and maintenance plans by identifying, developing, and screening improvement ideas.
Risk Assessment / Management: Participate in HAZOPs, incident investigations, and risk assessment and management activities, sometimes serving as leader for defined scopes and coordinating follow-up actions.
Performance Monitoring: Monitor unit performance metrics and support the identification and closure of gaps versus performance benchmarks, consistent with business strategies. Seek input and guidance from functional experts within ExxonMobil and, as appropriate, from external experts.
Event Planning and Support: Support the planning and execution of major plant events, such as turnarounds, plant trials, and unit start-ups and shutdowns. Often coordinate technical support activities and, when required, participate in shift coverage.
Mentoring: Provide mentorship and coaching to early career professionals and engineers within assigned areas.
Collaboration and Networking: Participate in multi-discipline teams to resolve technical challenges and contribute to internal technical networks to share and learn from others' technical knowledge.
Additional Responsibilities:
- Present and document work; continue to grow business, technology, and manufacturing understanding, particularly within assigned areas; identify opportunities to improve work processes
- Serve as a technical interface between the site and the business unit or supply chain as appropriate
