Job description

At Nexus Engineering Group, our Process Engineers turn client requirements into safe, buildable process designs - from first calculation to field startup. As a Senior Process Engineer, you'll own the basic process design of unit operations and the deliverables that drive projects forward, working shoulder-to-shoulder with project teams, vendors, and clients to get it right.
What You'll Do
  • Develop the documented design basis, process descriptions, BFDs, PFDs, P&IDs, and material selection diagrams that define each project. 

  • Build process simulation models in Aspen HYSYS and develop heat and material balances. 

  • Perform hydraulic calculations and produce equipment sizing data sheets for compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, columns, separators, reactors, and more. 

  • Design and size safety relief devices that protect personnel, equipment, and the process. 

  • Interface directly with clients and provide field support throughout project execution. 

  • Deliver work that meets quality standards and applicable codes - on schedule and within budgeted hours. 

What You'll Bring (Required)
  • Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program. 

  • 10+ years of experience in the oil & gas or chemical industries. 

  • Hands-on experience designing process equipment (vessels, pumps, exchangers, fired heaters, compressors). 

  • Process simulation experience with Aspen HYSYS and hydraulic analysis tools (e.g., AFT Fathom/Arrow, Visual Flare). 

  • Strong Microsoft Office skills. 

  • Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to work in teams and present a positive image to clients. 

  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality and timely delivery. 

Nice to Have (Preferred)
  • EIT certification. 

  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license. 

Working Conditions
  • Periodic travel for client and project site visits as required. 

  • Work performed in a combination of office and active project-site environments; field assignments may involve walking, stooping, kneeling, and climbing stairs and ladders. 

  • PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, hi-vis vest, steel-toed boots) provided and required on site. 

$110,000 - $160,000 a year
Compensation for all candidates is determined based on experience, qualifications, skill set, certifications, work location, and market conditions. In addition to base pay, Nexus Engineering Group offers a comprehensive compensation package that may include eligibility for discretionary bonuses and participation in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), providing employees the opportunity to share in the long-term success of the company.
