- 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.

- 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.
