Simulation Specialist
Experience Level: 10-15 years
About the Role:
Our Client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Simulation Specialist to join a Process Design Consultancy team. The successful candidate will play a critical role in developing, interpreting, and optimizing process simulations for large-scale continuous process plants, including petrochemical facilities, distillation systems, and compression processes. This is a key technical role requiring not only proficiency in simulation tools but also the expertise to translate simulation results into actionable insights and recommendations.
Key Responsibilities:
*
Develop and execute steady-state and dynamic process simulations for large-scale continuous operations.
*
Analyze and interpret simulation results to identify process bottlenecks, optimization opportunities, and design improvements.
*
Provide technical recommendations based on simulation outputs to enhance plant efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
*
Work closely with process engineers, project managers, and clients to ensure simulation models align with real-world plant operations and objectives.
*
Utilize industry-leading simulation software (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, PRO/II, gPROMS) to develop accurate and reliable process models.
*
Support front-end engineering design (FEED) studies, debottlenecking projects, and troubleshooting initiatives.
*
Validate simulation models against plant data, ensuring consistency and accuracy in predictions.
*
Mentor junior engineers in process simulation techniques and best practices.
Qualifications & Experience:
*
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field.
*
Experience: 10-15 years of experience in process simulation, preferably within a consultancy or an engineering services environment.
*
Strong expertise in simulating petrochemical, distillation, and compression processes.
*
Hands-on experience with leading process simulation software (Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, PRO/II, etc.).
*
Deep understanding of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, separation technologies, and energy optimization.
*
Proven ability to interpret complex simulation results and translate them into practical engineering solutions.
*
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
*
Excellent communication skills to effectively liaise with clients and internal teams.
Preferred Skills:
*
Experience with dynamic simulation and operator training simulators (OTS).
*
Familiarity with process control strategies and their integration into simulation models.
*
Exposure to digital twin technology and advanced data analytics in process optimization.
*
Experience in regulatory compliance and safety studies using simulation tools.
Why Join?
*
Work on cutting-edge projects with leading industrial clients.
*
Opportunity to lead and influence key process design decisions.
