About the Role

As a Process Engineer within the EDX & Digitalisation team you will be the process domain authority on client projects applying deep O&G and Refinery process knowledge to simulation development control optimisation and digital transformation engagements. You will bridge the gap between classical process engineering and the digital technologies that define next-generation plant operations working within a technically elite multi-disciplinary team and representing our companys capabilities with confidence at every client interaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead process engineering deliverables across the full EDX project lifecycle OTS APC/MPC digital twin and data-driven optimisation from scope definition and data collection through model development validation and client sign-off.
• Develop and validate high-fidelity dynamic and steady-state simulation models using Petro-SIM OmegaLand ; build OTS environments integrating process models with DCS replicas (Yokogawa Honeywell Emerson or equivalent).
• Design OTS training scenarios normal operations start-up shutdown emergency response and process upsets and develop supporting malfunction libraries instructor guides and trainee assessment frameworks.
• Apply deep knowledge of O&G and Refinery unit operations (separation compression distillation treating dehydration and utilities) to develop engineering basis documents interpret PFDs/P&IDs/H&MBs..
• Demonstrate applied understanding of process dynamics dead time lag gain interaction effects translating dynamic process behaviour into OTS scenario parameters APC model requirements and controller tuning inputs.
• Support APC/MPC and optimisation project delivery: CV/MV/DV definition operating constraint limits step test planning process response interpretation and identification of optimisation opportunities across energy yield and throughput.
• Liaise with client DCS teams to ensure simulation compatibility with DCS replica architecture; support I/O mapping interlock verification and FAT/SAT activities. Familiarity with Yokogawa CENTUM VP Honeywell Experion Emerson DeltaV or ABB 800xA is advantageous.
• Contribute process domain knowledge to IT-OT convergence and digital twin initiatives informing data architecture OT connectivity design and historian integration strategies to support the broader DX programme.
• Apply awareness of AI/ML concepts soft sensors anomaly detection predictive maintenance and data-driven optimisation to contextualise AI outputs within a process engineering framework and support model validation. Familiarity with industrial AI platforms (Aspen Mtell Seeq AWS Industrial Azure IoT) is an added advantage.
• Represent the company at client kick-off meetings technical design reviews and FAT/SAT milestones; maintain strong working relationships with client discipline engineers across process instrumentation DCS and operations.
• Plant operations or commissioning experience is advantageous enabling development of more realistic OTS scenarios and stronger operational credibility with client teams.

Qualifications & Experience

Essential

• Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering or Process Engineering from a recognised university.
• 7 to 12 years of professional experience in process engineering with a track record in process simulation and/or project delivery.
• Proven hands-on experience with dynamic and/or steady-state process simulation tools (HYSYS Dynamics Petro-SIM OmegaLand DYNSIM Aspen Plus or equivalent).
• Direct experience with OTS development model validation or simulation-based training projects.
• Strong working knowledge of Oil & Gas and/or Refinery process operations and unit operations.
• Solid understanding of process dynamics and their relationship to control system design and simulation behaviour.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver technical work to schedule and quality in a project environment.
• Effective client-facing communication skills written and verbal in English.

Preferred / Advantageous

• Prior experience working within a global automation OEM major EPC contractor or specialist engineering consultancy in a project delivery capacity.
• UAE or GCC regional experience familiarity with local O&G operators project execution norms and client protocols.
• Practical plant operations or commissioning experience at an O&G or Refinery facility.
• Working knowledge of DCS systems deployed in UAE O&G facilities (Yokogawa Honeywell Emerson ABB or equivalent).
• Exposure to APC/MPC project delivery step testing model identification controller commissioning or performance monitoring.
• Awareness or hands-on experience with AI/ML applications in process industries soft sensors predictive analytics anomaly detection or data-driven optimisation.
• Familiarity with industrial IoT cloud platforms (AWS Azure or equivalent) or data analytics tools used in OT environments.
• Familiarity with process data historians (OSIsoft PI Yokogawa Exaquantum AspenWatch) for model validation and performance analysis.

All appointments are subject to the successful completion of applicable background verification checks.
