About you and this role:

The Process Engineering Group within UT Technology Delivery is responsible for the deliverables supporting new and existing UNIPOL™ PE licensing clients. The Univation Process Engineering Group also provides engineering support to the Commercial organization in obtaining new businesses.  The Process Engineering role requires multi-functional interactions and includes the following responsibilities.

Be part of a process engineering team primarily consisting of Univation employees, service providers, and contractor engineering resources in the delivery of Univation Licensed Technology Process Design Packages (PDP’s) to new clients.

Responsibilities Include:

• Ensure the assigned PDP parts are delivered on time and are of high quality by verifying the various deliverables are consistent within and across the process parts.
• PDP deliverables include Design and Operating Considerations, Health and Safety Considerations, Major Equipment Performance Specifications, Minor Equipment and Relief Device Performance Specifications, Control System Data Sheets, Logic Descriptions and Logic Diagrams, Process and Control Diagrams, and Line Lists. 
• Use of ASPEN Simulator will be required along with Aspen Basic Engineering (ABE) and Smart Plant P&ID (SPPID) and SmartSketch software.  Just in time training is provided for PDP team members unfamiliar with these automated tools, along with UT in house ABE bridges and SPPID workbooks.
