• Ability to develop, review, and validate P&IDs, process datasheets, and technical specifications
• Solid experience in core process calculations, including:
– Equipment sizing
– Valve sizing
– Hydraulic and line sizing
– Blowdown and relief calculations
• Sound knowledge and application of industry standards (API, ASME, ANSI, AGA, IEC, PIP)
2. Analytical Thinking & Engineering Judgment
• Strong analytical capability to interpret simulation results and engineering data
• Ability to identify design inconsistencies, risks, and optimization opportunities
• Applies sound engineering judgment to resolve complex technical challenges
3. Quality Assurance & Attention to Detail
• High level of accuracy in engineering deliverables
• Ability to detect and resolve errors through inter-discipline checks (IDCs)
• Ensures consistency and completeness across all process documentation
4. Project Execution & Delivery Discipline
• Ability to manage multiple deliverables within tight project timelines
• Strong planning, prioritization, and time management skills
• Delivers high-quality outputs in line with project schedules and milestones
5. Documentation & Digital Proficiency
• Strong documentation discipline with full traceability of engineering deliverables
• Proficiency in MS Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and Adobe Acrobat
• Experience using SharePoint for document control and compliance
• Familiarity with AutoCAD and PDMS/E3D for drawing review and inter-discipline coordination (Desirable)
6. Communication & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Ability to communicate complex technical information clearly and effectively
• Strong collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams (piping, mechanical, instrumentation)
• Produces clear and structured technical reports and documentation
7. Commercial Awareness & Proposal Support
• Understanding of project cost, schedule, and resource considerations
• Ability to contribute to tender preparation and Cost-Time-Resource (CTR) estimation (Desirable)
• Supports development of technical inputs for proposals and bid documentation
8. Leadership & Mentorship
• Ability to guide and support junior engineers
• Demonstrates accountability and ownership of deliverables
• Contributes to team capability development and knowledge sharing
9. Safety & Compliance Mindset
