Apply NowCompany: Maderra Engineering
Location: Lloydminster, SK S9V 0T9
Description:
Maderra Personnel is currently seeking a qualified individual for the position of Contract Site Operations Engineer in Lloydminster, SK.
The contract duration is expected to be 14-18 months.
Responsibilities:
Provide field level process engineering support to Operations and other stakeholders within Thermal and Conventional Heavy Oil.
Apply engineering theory and problem-solving skills to resolve safety/environmental/integrity concerns, optimize facility performance, and scope/identify opportunities that reduce OPEX or add business value.
Support and collaborate with Operations to:
o Resolve operational process / equipment issues (analyze and troubleshoot process issues, recommend ideas and solutions).
o Verify process changes, validate process function, and perform equipment sizing / rating by creating and updating process simulations models and/or completing engineering calculations / analysis.
o Identify facility bottlenecks, process improvements, and OPEX reduction opportunities; scope and frame to resolve.
o Support safety, environmental, and integrity concerns; scope and frame to resolve.
o Complete or support work intake for process engineering investigations and process, management of change requests.
o Complete process release calculations to support process safety event incident investigations.
Provide process engineering representation and support for Operational risk assessments, Project / MOC PHA, revalidation HAZOPs, and other related evaluations.
Define, implement, monitor, and sustain facility Safe Operating Limits.
Support integrated production planning by identifying and managing facility constraints.
Support facility outages by quantifying outage production impacts, supporting operational risk assessments, completing process engineering calculations / modelling, and supporting found work resolution.
Complete performance monitoring on facility process and equipment; collaborate to drive business performance and operational efficiency.
Execute process engineering investigations and small, process engineering MOCs.
Interface with Facilities Engineering to support process engineering requirements for front end scoping and execution of engineering investigations and MOCs (process engineering support for facility changes).
Coordinate process trials (PTRs) (eg. chemical trials, process optimization).
Interface with capital project teams as needed, support up front scoping and integration/consideration of operating conditions.
Support the Enhanced Production Audit Program (annual measurement schematic review, engineering estimates, monthly or quarterly gas sample verification, audits).
Complete data gathering / trending to support business needs.
Complete and support engineering work in alignment with professional practice management plans.
Support the continuous improvement of business processes and documentation.
Requirements:
Must be legally entitled to work in Canada
Must be registered with APEGS as a P. Eng.
Chemical Engineering degree or equivalent program with a focus on process engineering courses.
8+ years of related industry experience
Previous experience in an operational, process engineering role is an asset
Previous process engineering design experience is an asset
Proficient with process simulation tools (HYSYS, Unisim)
Proficient in process calculations (control valve sizing and rating, piping hydraulics/heat loss, PSV/PVRV sizing and rating, vessel/HEX sizing and rating, pump curves/performance).
Driver's license is required
Strong understanding of upstream process and equipment.
Ability to work closely with operations, maintenance, and other engineering teams to achieve goals.
Able to manage and prioritize competing demands in a fast paced, operational front-line work environment.
Understanding of engineering principles and strong analytical problem-solving skills.
Able to listen effectively and understand different points of view.
Possess effective written and verbal communication skills.
