EQT is seeking an experienced Process Engineer – Midstream Facilities to provide process engineering expertise in support of natural gas gathering, compression, dehydration, liquids handling, and related midstream infrastructure. This position will play a key role in the design, optimization, troubleshooting, and expansion of midstream facilities, working closely with Facilities Engineering, Operations, Construction, Automation, Project Management, Commercial, and other technical teams. 

The Sr/Expert/Advisor Process Engineer - Midstream Facilities responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Provide process engineering support for the design, expansion, optimization, and troubleshooting of natural gas gathering, dehydration, compression, stabilization and NGL liquification facilities.
• Develop and maintain process simulations using ProMax and HYSYS (experience with Symmetry is a plus), and other applicable engineering tools.
• Perform heat and material balances, phase-equilibrium studies, pipeline and facility hydraulic analysis, equipment sizing, , and process optimization studies.
• Evaluate gas compositions and operating conditions to predict hydrocarbon condensation, water dropout, hydrate formation, hydrocarbon and water dew points, and liquids production throughout the gathering system.
• Provide technical expertise for NGL and condensate systems.
• Design and evaluate liquids systems, including separation, storage, stabilization, pumping, vapor management, pressure control, and truck loading/unloading.
• Support the design and optimization of natural gas compressor stations, including inlet separation, suction scrubbers, compression, interstage and discharge cooling, liquids handling, recycle systems, blowdown, and process controls.
• Support the design and optimization of natural gas dehydration facilities, including TEG contactors, regeneration systems, flash tanks, reboilers, condensers, circulation systems, and associated emissions-control equipment.
• Develop and review PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and operating philosophies.
• Specification and design of process safety over pressure protection systems (primarily sizing PSV’s)
• Size, specify, and order separators, scrubbers, vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, control valves, dehydration equipment, and other process equipment.
• Provide technical support throughout the project lifecycle, including conceptual design, detailed engineering, equipment selection, construction, commissioning, startup, and performance testing.
• Troubleshoot operating issues in partnership with field operations and maintenance personnel and develop practical solutions that can be implemented safely and efficiently.
• Participate in HAZOPs, PHAs, relief-system evaluations, Management of Change (MOC), and other process-safety activities.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable company engineering standards, operating requirements, industry codes, and regulatory requirements.

Required Experience and Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 6+ years of process, facilities, or project engineering experience within the natural gas midstream industry or a closely related field.
• Strong understanding of natural gas gathering, compression, dehydration, and hydrocarbon liquids handling.
• Demonstrated experience with NGL, condensate, and/or bulk propane handling systems.
• Familiarity with applicable API, ASME, NFPA, and other relevant industry standards.
• Experience with process simulation software, preferably:
  • ProMax
  • HYSYS
  • Symmetry is a plus
    
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
• Ability to work effectively across Engineering, Operations, Construction, Automation, Commercial, and Project Management organizations.

Work Location: 

• This role will consist of in-office, remote and field work within our operating area.
