Job Purpose:

The Team Lead Process Engineer is an experienced process engineer with relevant experience and domain knowledge on several refining technologies.

Team Lead would lead a group of Process Engineers supporting a variety of process engineering activities within the Technology organization of an asset supporting the asset's production units. The activities of Process Engineers are deeply integrated into the site work processes and requires deep collaboration with other disciplines and departments in the site.

Key accountabilities:

The Process Engineer Team Lead would lead TAO teams that (Process Technologist/Process Modeling Engineer) will provide process engineering support to the technology organizations to ensure production excellence. They will be expected to support a variety of process engineering activities at the site and identify margin opportunities, cost reductions, process safety assurance and optimize the operating units assigned to them. This can also include remote monitoring and process performance reporting for process units assigned.

Process modelling / simulation is also a scope where the Process Engineer will play a key role in managing and using the unit process modeling tools (i.e. Pro II, SHARC, HYSTAR, COBRA, etc.) to help the technology and production teams translate data to insights to decisions to generate value for the site.

This activity feeds into multiple deliverables.

Supports continuous improvement of the theme area. The process engineer is assessed based on the delivery of theme area improvement each year which is considered comparable to supervisory team lead leadership. Maintains and improves the portfolio of their respective theme area and delivers value through improvement of the overall theme.

Supports compliance to global and site standards for technical monitoring process and practices in collaboration with P&T and Global work process focal points.
