* Review and interpret process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and equipment datasheets.
* Develop detailed commissioning and start-up procedures for process systems.
* Coordinate with project stakeholders to ensure readiness for process commissioning activities.
* Perform pre-commissioning activities such as line flushing, pressure testing, and equipment integrity checks.
* Conduct process simulations and functional testing to ensure alignment with design specifications.
* Monitor and optimise chemical process parameters during commissioning to achieve desired operational efficiency.
* Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve process deviations or inefficiencies.
* Work closely with control and instrumentation teams to fine-tune control loops and automation systems.
* Ensure commissioning activities adhere to industry standards, safety protocols, and environmental regulations, particularly pertaining to Safety PLCs and ATEX/IECEx compliance.
* Participate in hazard reviews (e.g., HAZOP, LOPA) and implement recommendations during commissioning.
* Develop and document operational risk assessments and mitigation plans.
* Prepare detailed commissioning and start-up reports, including system performance data and test results.
Qualifications/Required skills:

* Willingness to travel and work on-site during commissioning phases.
* Ability to work in potentially hazardous environments with adherence to strict safety protocols.
* Experience in Chemical Engineering Design and Technology Development gained from working for a technology licensor, operating company, or engineering consultancy.
* Knowledge of process design calculations, process systems design, P&IDs, process optimisation, sizing, and selection of equipment.
* Working knowledge of critical safety requirements for process plants and familiarity with techniques such as HAZOP and LOPA.
* Proficiency in MS Word and Excel.
* Good verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work well within a multi-discipline design environment.
* Organisational and reporting skills.
* Analytical and problem-solving skills.
* Strong work ethic with the ability to produce accurate work to strict project deadlines.
* Ability to manage time and priorities individually and work well as a team.
Desired Skills:
* Experience in hydrogen production plants and cryogenic applications is a strong plus.
* Knowledge of writing technical reports according to validation procedures.
