As a Process Engineer at bp, you will provide frontline process-engineering support for safe, reliable and efficient LNG production, focusing on troubleshooting, performance monitoring, analysis, optimization and process safety.

What you will deliver

Standard accountabilities

• Provide timely frontline engineering support for normal operations, startup, shutdown, plant upset and equipment performance issues, with clear, documented recommendations.
• Apply risk management to identify, assess, communicate and reduce safety, integrity, reliability, production and cost risks. Participate in applicable risk assessments and hazard reviews and steward actions to closure.
• Lead or provide discipline expertise to incident investigations and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), including immediate-cause analysis where required. Convert findings into sustainable corrective actions.
• Own or support discipline equipment strategies. Use operating history, condition monitoring, failure data and reliability insights to develop, verify and optimize maintenance tasks, intervals and SAP PM build.
• Identify bad actors, vulnerabilities, obsolescence and single-point failures and develop prioritized defect-elimination and life-cycle solutions.
• Provide technical assurance for Management of Change, brownfield modifications, equipment replacement and project deliverables. Ensure decisions and deviations are risk assessed, justified and documented.
• Provide discipline input to turnaround, outage and site project modification scoping and execution, including technical scope definition, prioritization, workpack readiness, field execution support, commissioning/startup support and post-event learning.
• Monitor equipment, system or process health and convert data into actionable insights for Operations, Maintenance, Reliability and leadership.
• Maintain fit-for-purpose engineering records, calculations, drawings, strategies and technical reports in accordance with applicable standards.
• Coach engineers and technicians, share lessons and good practices, and strengthen engineering capability and continuous improvement.

Role-specific accountabilities

• Lead process troubleshooting during steady-state, startup, shutdown and upset conditions and evaluate recurring issues such as fouling, high DP and off-specification product.
• Perform heat/mass balances, hydraulic evaluations, line sizing, equipment rating, relief-valve verification and pump/compressor assessments.
• Validate changes using Aspen HYSYS and documented engineering justification.
• Support LNG Operations Surveillance, such as Monitor CO2 slip, MR/PR balancing, water/steam balance and production loss.
• Participate in HAZOP, LOPA, risk assessment and MoC; support bowtie barrier-health reviews and alarm rationalization.
• Maintain PFDs, P&IDs and LOLC Register and support debottlenecking, modifications and replacements.

What you will need to be successful

In addition to a Bachelor's degree or higher in Chemical Engineering, it is essential that the successful candidate also demonstrates:

• Minimum 10+ years of process-engineering experience in oil and gas with an operator, consultant or EPC.
• Strong LNG onshore-processing understanding with knowledge of offshore facilities and LNG export systems.
• Proficient in Aspen HYSYS and international-standard engineering calculations.
• Familiar with PI ProcessBook/PI Vision, Palantir and data-analysis tools.
• Knowledge of risk management and Locked Open/Locked Closed Valve management.
• Preferred: remote-site LNG operations; startup, commissioning or major turnaround; barrier health and bowtie knowledge
