Role
What you would be doing
p&id design
requirements planning
fluid analysis
control logic
flow modeling
equipment scheduling
  • Creation of Pipework and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID), and the associated valve and equipment schedules.
  • Generating requirements, scoping work, and planning tasks in conjunction with stakeholders.
  • Applying standard fluid flow and thermal hydraulic theory to inform and justify design decisions around system layout, component selection and sizing. Examples include:
  • Development of operating philosophies and high-level control system logic
  • Development of 1D system flow models, derivation of loss coefficients etc.
What you bring
flomaster
engineering degree
hazop
process safety
pump sizing
regulated industry
  • Experience of specifying, designing, justifying, or operating complex fluid/chemical process systems
  • Desirable to have experience in the use of 1D flow modelling software (specifically FloMaster).
  • Track record of delivering solutions against specific customer requirements to time, cost, and quality.
  • Degree (or equivalent) in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or another science or engineering discipline with thermo-fluids content.
  • Understand of design process and design and safety assessment processes and tools e.g., HAZOP/HAZID/SWIFT/FMEAs etc.
  • Experience of design of process plant facilities, such as oil and gas pipework systems or chemical process facilities, is desirable
  • Experience, where possible, in a relevant, heavily regulated industry, such as Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Energy, Water or Nuclear.
  • Sound knowledge of engineering principles, process safety, and applicable codes & standards.
  • Pump, valve (inc.safety relief) and heat exchanger sizing and selection.
