Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a Process Control Engineer with a strong foundation in chemical process systems and control theory to support advanced process optimization, automation projects, and plant performance improvement initiatives. The ideal candidate combines a deep theoretical understanding of traditional process modeling, prediction, and control with data-driven techniques.

This role bridges classical process control engineering and modern digital transformation - requiring both strong analytical ability and creativity in applying control principles to complex chemical systems.

Job Duties

  • Design, implement, and optimize control strategies for continuous and batch chemical processes.
  • Develop dynamic process models (first principles and empirical) to simulate plant behavior and evaluate control performance.
  • Tune, maintain, and troubleshoot regulatory and advanced control loops (PID, cascade, feedforward, inferential).
  • Collaborate with operations, R&D, and IT teams to deploy model predictive control (MPC), real-time optimization (RTO), and digital twin solutions.
  • Support process hazard analysis (PHA), management of change (MOC), and safety interlock design (SIS logic).
  • Analyze plant performance using statistical tools and control system data to identify process bottlenecks and improvement opportunities.
  • Provide mentorship to junior engineers in control concepts and automation systems.

Requirements

Education

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering with emphasis in Process Systems Engineering, Control, or Dynamics.
  • or

  • B.S. in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering with a demonstrated portfolio of real-world results in the responsibility areas.
  • Experience

  • 3+ years of experience in a process engineering or control engineering role within the chemical or energy industries (industrial internships or research experience acceptable for advanced degree holders).
  • Technical Skills

  • Strong proficiency in process control fundamentals : dynamic modeling, process identification, process optimization
  • Familiarity with MATLAB / Simulink, Aspen DMC, Python, or similar tools for modeling and control system analysis.
  • Understanding of process safety systems, alarm management, and ISA standards (ISA 18.2, ISA 84, ISA 101).
  • Knowledge of chemical process unit operations (distillation, heat exchange, reaction, separation, and fluid transport).
  • Preferred Knowledge Areas

  • Model predictive control (MPC), multivariable control design, or machine learning for process control.
  • Experience with industrial automation platforms such as Honeywell Experion, Emerson DeltaV, Yokogawa CENTUM, or Rockwell ControlLogix.
  • Enough Data Engineering and Analytics competency to make data-driven applications
  • Optimization under uncertainty and advanced process simulation (Aspen Plus, HYSYS, gPROMS).
  • Competencies

  • Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset.
  • Ability to translate theoretical models into practical industrial control solutions.
  • Effective communication of complex technical topics to multidisciplinary teams.
  • Self-starter comfortable with both design and operations environments.
  • Work Environment - Conditions vary and include :
