Process Controls Engineer

Location Gurgaon, Haryana (NCR-New Delhi), India. Job Description: Refining and Petrochemical process design working as a member of a team on the preparation of UOP’s world class basic engineering design package. The work involves generating specifications for process control and instrumentation in conformance with UOP’s process design requirements. This position requires a solid understanding of the underlying process and hydraulic fundamentals.

Since the starting points are heat and weight balances, Piping & Instrument Diagrams, equipment specifications, and hydraulic tabulations. Close coordination with other engineering disciplines (mechanical, process, rotating equipment, metallurgy) will be necessary.Job Requirements: Familiar with controls and instrumentation hardware and systems used in oil refinery applications, including control valves, flow elements, temperature, pressure, and level
instruments, analyzers, logic systems, etc.

Ability to evaluate process and hydraulic data presented in bulk form. The engineer routinely evaluates multiple operating cases and determines whether the process hydraulics (especially control valve pressure drops) are adequate to achieve good control for all operating cases. Working knowledge of Piping & Instrument Diagrams – understand what is being represented and be able to effectively use appropriate instrumentation symbology. Understanding of key refinery control concepts, e.g. control of distillation columns, heat exchangers, pumps and compressors, combustion controls, logic systems, etc.

Ability to rapidly learn UOP’s proprietary instrument specification software to import process data, analyze it, and use to produce finished specifications. A BS degree in Chemical Engineering and 5 years minimum experience with process control systems as used in the refining or petrochemical industries. Familiarity with UOP processes is a plus. The ability to effectively communicate with team members and other engineering personnel is essential.
