Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• Method Development & Analytical Validation
  • Analyze complex customer process stream compositions (e.g. natural gas NGL LNG refining cuts petrochemical matrices) to design custom chromatographic separation methods.
  • Define optimum column stationary phase chemistries film thicknesses particle sizes internal diameters and column length combinations for target separations.
  • Calculate and optimize physical property calculations (e.g. Calorific Value/BTU Density Compressibility Boiling Point Distributions) within GC software scripts.
  • Prepare calibration standards run repeatability and drift studies and establish Method Detection Limits (MDL) and quantification limits for trace component analyses (e.g. trace sulfur oxygenates moisture).

• Column Chemistry & Preparation Oversight
  • Establish technical recipes and quality control standards for column packing (packed columns) and phase coating/deactivation (capillary columns).
  • Work directly with Lab Technicians to audit column preparation workflows evaluate baseline bleed profiles and troubleshoot column batch variations.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis on column degradation stationary phase stripping and matrix contamination issues encountered during system testing.

• Engineering & Application Support
  • Collaborate with Proposal Engineers during the bidding phase to evaluate challenging stream compositions and confirm theoretical feasibility (cycle time Detection limits Peak resolution etc).
  • Provide specialized analytical support to Tuning Engineers during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) when handling difficult matrices non-linear detector responses or co-eluting peaks.
  • Prepare standard application notes calibration protocols chemical safety datasheets (SDS) and analytical technical guides.

Qualification and Experience

• Education: Masters or Bachelors Degree in Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Chemical Engineering or a related physical science.
• Experience: 47 years of professional experience in chromatography method development or application engineeringwith specific exposure to gas chromatography (GC).

Competencies

• Analytical Problem-Solving: Systematic scientific approach to resolving complex separation issues peak co-elutions baseline drift and matrix interference.
• Precision & Scientific Rigor: Uncompromising commitment to analytical accuracy calibration integrity and precise record-keeping.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to translate complex chemical principles into practical engineering inputs for technicians tuning engineers and project managers.

Skills

• Deep knowledge of gas chromatography principles: partition/adsorption mechanisms column phase selection carrier gas physics and detector mechanics (FID TCD FPD).
• Familiarity with international standard test methods relevant to process industries (e.g. ASTM D1945 ASTM D5504 GPA 2261 ISO 6974).
• Hands-on proficiency with GC data handling systems peak integration algorithms calibration routines and chemical safety management.
