Process Engineer

Within Heat Projects, the Engineering department is an international team with highly qualified professionals and is responsible for the complete design process within a project. The Process Engineer is responsible for developing and evaluating technical concepts in the earliest phase of the project, drafting technical specification of a plant in the invitation to tender phase, evaluating technical bids  and negotiation, followed by facilitating commissioning and performance testing. The department also supports in scheduling, cost estimating and QA/QC management.

What are the responsibilities of the Process Engineer?

Vattenfall often  uses design consultants and design and build contractors for designing our Projects and Plant Changes , however they require steering, guidance and control to assure compliance with Vattenfall standards and site specific requirements and to ensure correct alignment with specific maintenance and operational requirements. For smaller packages of work, basic and detailed engineering may be performed by Vattenfall’s engineers themselves. As the energy sector is rapidly changing towards sustainability there is a shift towards more conceptual engineering of more chemical oriented processes, like for example carbon neutral fuels and heat pumps.
The engineer will contribute to Feasibility studies, Basis of Design (BODs) and Basic Design Engineering Packages (BDEPs) and owners engineering (project execution and supervision)  in order to assure all process and equipment aspects are included in the projects. This with the aim to ensure that equipment has the highest quality, can be safely operated and well maintained.
The engineer will engage with other engineering discipline as and where required and will guide contractors to a good project end result.
As Process Engineer, you will provide technical support to our projects by:

• Bringing in your engineering expertise to deliver a safe, technical sound and high quality design for the process,  equipment and building.
• Including optimum selection, fit-for-purpose specification of the process and equipment and its auxiliary systems.
• Give input to the Cost Estimate.
• Take part in negotiations, evaluate bids of contractors and give award recommendations.
• Ensuring quality assurance and quality control in construction, commissioning and startup phase.
• Selection and specification of equipment shall be in compliance with international Codes and Standards and with the Vattenfall standards.
• Coordinating Engineering activities within the project in the support of the Engineering Manager.
• Within each project, report to the Engineering Manager of the Project.
• Motivating, coaching and provide active guidance to colleague engineers, contractor personnel and/or contractor staff.
