Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
Working on both projects and bid proposals the Process Engineer is responsible for the process design of equipment systems or parts thereof. The Process Engineer is responsible for:
- developing a process design which meets the requirements of the proposal or project
- ensuring design phase outputs are delivered in line with the time schedule and quality requirements
- providing technical support regarding process design aspects throughout project and bid lifecycles
- undertaking other technical tasks as required (e.g. site surveys feasibility studies support to sales etc)
In general the Process Engineer will work as part of a team and will collaborate closely with other team members and functional disciplines to ensure successful delivery of the project or bid scope.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Process Engineers duties include but are not limited to the following:
Process Engineer
The primary role will be to undertake process engineering design tasks on projects or proposals including:

- Plant designs are safe
- Environmental impacts of designs have been considered appropriately
- Participating in relevant reviews as defined in SPX Flow procedures and additionally customer contracts and ensuring that her/his resultant actions have been completed. (Example reviews include: Design Reviews Risk Assessments.)
- Ensuring compliance with local legislation and regulations (for the locality of the plant/process) which apply to engineering design (e.g. EU Machinery Directive EU PED Directive)
- Acting in a safe fashion particularly when operating outside of the known office environment (e.g. on customer and supplier sites)
- Ensuring that with respect to the scope of works for which SPX Flow are responsible:
- Process Design Tasks
- Generating process solutions and defining their characteristics in terms of:
- Process flowsheets
- P&ID diagrams
- Equipment specifications
- Equipment list
- Process descriptions
- Functional design specifications
- Process operating instructions
- KPIs / expected performance
- Product input/output requirements
- Utilities requirements
- Adhering to SPX Flow procedures and utilising applicable tools and design standards during the development of process designs
- Completing design calculations (e.g. pipe diameter sizing pump sizing thermal calculations etc) to support process design and equipment selection
- Ensuring that tasks are completed in accordance with the project schedule to the required quality and within the allocated budget
- Generating process solutions and defining their characteristics in terms of:
- Design Ownership
- Ensuring that the design for which they are responsible is functional and is executed in line with:
- Applicable legislation and regulations
- Customer contractual requirements (or in case of proposal RFQ/URS requirements)
- SPX references standards and best practices where applicable
- Ensuring that design output is complete and of a consistent standard. Examples include ensuring that:
- Documentation (e.g. P&IDs FDS) utilises common standards across the project/proposal and that it is delivered to a consistent level in terms of content and quality
- Project specific equipment catalogues are used to support item selection
- Ensuring all scope elements/sub-systems for which they are responsible integrate coherently and that external interfaces are clearly understood and defined
- Considering economic factors with a view to ensuring that the overall project is delivered on budget
- Ensuring that the design for which they are responsible is functional and is executed in line with:
- Communication & Team Working
- Undertaking technical discussions with customers and suppliers
- Attending relevant project or proposal meetings e.g.:
- Launch/kick-off meetings
- Progress reviews
- Design reviews
- Communicating information to stakeholders in a timely fashion
- Supporting other disciplines during the design phase to achieve project or proposal deliverables e.g.
- Supply Chain (e.g. initial specification review of supplier quotes purchase requisitions etc)
- Mechanical design (e.g. supporting plant layouts & 3D modelling)
- Automation & electrical design (e.g. FDS reviews attendance at software simulation)
- Supporting Installation & Commissioning team during the site execution phase e.g.:
- communicating design intent
- highlighting critical installation requirements
- assisting with resolution of design issues
- supporting acceptance testing and KPI trials
- Assisting with hand-over of design information to Aftermarket team
- Documentation
- Preparing process operating instructions
- Ensuring that all design information is captured stored and maintained in the allocated location in a structured and accessible fashion
