Job description

Company Overview
Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases is a leading provider of cryogenic pumps, heat exchangers, process systems, services, and solutions for the LNG and industrial gases industry. We are a subsidiary of Nikkiso Company Ltd, a leading industrial manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with over $1.5 B in annual revenue, 8000 + employees worldwide, and publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Job Overview
The Senior Process Engineer leads process system design and technical definition for skid-mounted and modular process packages in an EPC execution environment. This role is responsible for developing and validating the process design basis, ensuring system operability, and integrating process requirements across mechanical, I&C, and package design.
A core responsibility of this role is ownership of process simulation models, ensuring that simulation results are accurate, validated, and fully aligned with design deliverables, vendor data, and operating philosophy.
The position requires strong experience in oil & gas, LNG, cryogenic, or industrial gas systems, with the ability to translate simulation outputs into practical, fabrication-ready engineering solutions.
Responsibilities
Process Design & System Definition
  • Develop and lead:
    • Process Design Basis
    • PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams)
    • P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams)
    • Heat & Material Balances
    • Utility balances
    • Line sizing calculations
    • Relief and flare calculations
  • Define operating philosophy including startup, shutdown, turndown, and upset conditions
  • Ensure accurate representation of process control strategies within P&IDs

Process Simulation (Core Responsibility)
  • Develop, own, and maintain steady-state and dynamic process simulation models using:
    • Aspen HYSYS
  • Validate simulation models against:
    • Design basis
    • Vendor data
    • Operating conditions
  • Perform sensitivity studies and optimization analyses
  • Generate simulation-based deliverables including:
    • Stream tables
    • Equipment duty calculations
    • Control strategy inputs
  • Support dynamic simulation where required for control philosophy validation
  • Ensure alignment between simulation outputs and engineering deliverables (PFDs, datasheets, P&IDs)

Engineering Deliverables
  • Develop and review:
    • Process datasheets (equipment, valves, instruments)
    • Control narratives (in coordination with I&C)
    • Cause & effect inputs
    • Process calculations and reports
  • Ensure consistency between simulation models and issued documentation

Integration & Coordination
  • Work closely with Mechanical, I&C, and Design teams to ensure:
    • Equipment sizing aligns with simulation outputs
    • Control philosophy reflects process dynamics
    • Layout supports operability and maintainability
  • Participate in HAZOP, design reviews, and interdisciplinary coordination

Vendor & Package Integration
  • Define process requirements for vendor packages
  • Review vendor process design, calculations, and performance guarantees
  • Validate vendor data against simulation assumptions
  • Ensure seamless integration of vendor systems into overall process package
