Virtual Electrical Engineering Jobs in Midland, TX

Plum Gas Solutions, LLC (“Plum”) is seeking a Process Engineer with hands‑on experience in natural gas handling, conditioning, and sweetening systems, combined with strong CAD/SolidWorks drafting capability. This role is heavily execution-focused, requiring the ability to translate process design into detailed, field‑ready drawings and layouts for installation, commissioning, and operations.

The ideal candidate bridges process engineering and mechanical design, with the ability to support project delivery from concept through field implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and optimize systems for:
  • B31-3 Piping Systems(Manifolds, etc.)
  • Natural gas compression and decompression, dehydration (TEG), and sweetening (amine systems)
  • Gas conditioning (filtration, heating, separation, pressure regulation)
• Perform simulations using Aspen HYSYS (preferred) or equivalent tools
• Develop:
  • Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
  • Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
  • Heat & material balances
• Evaluate system performance, troubleshoot operational issues, and recommend improvements

• Develop detailed 2D/3D CAD drawings using SolidWorks (preferred) or AutoCAD:
  • Skid layouts and modular equipment packages
  • General Arrangement (GA) drawings
  • Piping isometrics and spool drawings
  • Equipment layouts for field installation
• Translate process requirements into constructible, field‑ready designs
• Ensure designs comply with:
  • ASME, ANSI, CSA (as applicable)
  • Company and client specifications
• Support redlines, as‑builts, and revision control

• Collaborate with project managers, fabrication teams, and field crews
• Provide site drawing packages for installation and commissioning
• Equipment FAT/SAT
• Field walkdowns and commissioning support
• Resolve field issues by updating drawings and process documentation in real time
• Support procurement with equipment specs and datasheets

• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and controls teams
• Instrumentation and control philosophies
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design standards and templates

• Participate in HAZOP and safety reviews
• Ensure compliance with engineering and design standards
• Support permitting and regulatory documentation

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering

• 2-8 years in natural gas processing, CNG/LNG or midstream systems
• Experience with natural gas decompression / decanters, compression systems, and/or oilfield / industrial site designs and layouts

• SolidWorks (preferred) or AutoCAD – strong proficiency required
• Aspen HYSYS (preferred) or similar process simulation tools
• PFDs, P&IDs, and GA drawings
• Isometrics and fabrication drawings
• Familiarity with:
  • Pressure vessels, compressors, and gas processing equipment
  • Applicable codes and standards (ASME B31.3, Section VIII, etc.)

• Experience with packaged gas systems (CNG trailers, PRUs, VRUs, dehydration skids)
• Exposure to compressor systems (e.g., Ariel, screw compressors, etc.)
• Experience with 3D plant modeling or layout optimization
• Field commissioning or startup experience
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng / PE) designation or eligibility

• Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to work in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong communication across technical and commercial teams
• Hands‑on, field‑oriented approach
• High attention to detail with execution focus
