Senior Process Engineers - Energy

Arup's purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world. Process engineering is at the heart of many of the solutions needed to satisfy a growing society seeking a sustainable future, where the challenges of climate change are being tackled through innovation, collaboration and the influence of governments. Our involvement in the circular economy, the progression towards a net-zero carbon future and the creation of resilient thinking, shines a spotlight on the power of process engineering.

The Opportunity

We are looking for candidates with a background in Process engineering design on multi-disciplinary projects within the clean energy sector. With our depth and breadth of skills, our team is currently involved in many exciting projects across the Energy, Water and Resources sectors. Whilst the team is based across the North, much of our work involves supporting projects across our global business integrating with teams in our offices.

As a senior engineer you are likely to have the ability to work across the project life cycle from developing concept designs and FEED studies through to Owner’s Engineer, and skills working in or directing process engineering teams to ensure production of deliverables to established timelines and within budget. You will co-ordinate the work of others and liaise with engineers of other disciplines, imparting your knowledge and experiences. You will be working in highly regulated sectors, working within a gated design and project delivery process. You will be involved in the development of process data sheets: pressure relief valves, control valves, pumps, etc. and the designing of utility systems. You will also be involved in the report writing and the development of fee proposals, feasibility studies of plant operating and capital costs.

We would expect you to have a practical comprehension of how your designs will be implemented, and in digital approaches to solve our problems including the relevant current analysis and design software.

Is this role right for you?

We operate an enviable graduate training scheme which is accredited by the IChemE and as a senior engineer you will be expected to join the mentoring programme and help to shape our future pipeline of process engineers.

• AutoCAD Plant3D
• Sustainable and zero carbon approaches to Process design

We are seeking the following skills and experience:

• Use of AspenTech modelling software
• Developing concept designs and FEED studies
• Experience of working in or leading process engineering teams to ensure production of deliverables to agreed timelines and within budget
• Development of process data sheets: pressure relief valves, control valves, pumps, etc.
• Acting as the process designer in the HAZOP teams
• Chairing HazOp studies
• Resolution of technical matters and ideally experience working in highly regulated sectors
• Development of fee proposals
• Creation of PID’s, plant layouts, GA
• Creation of energy and mass balances
• Development of feasibility studies and plant operating and capital costs

In addition to your technical skills, we need people who have the following attributes:

• Demonstrable experience of working collaboratively with colleagues, and with external collaborators
• Line manager responsibilities providing support to engineers and early careers
• Experience of digital approaches to solve our problems including the relevant current analysis and design software
• A good understanding of CDM, and how we can help the health safety and wellbeing of those affected by our work
