Role Description

This position is responsible for providing direction, support and resources to the gas processing plants to ensure downtime is minimized, and optimization and production goals are met.

• Design and Procurement: Perform design calculations and prepare equipment specifications; Solicit bids from equipment suppliers and assist in procurement of mechanical equipment and instrumentation; Design LFGTE plants and high RNG facilities to include GA layout, PFD, PIDs, BOM, 2D bid drawings, routing/piping subsystem, and construction drawings.
• Process Planning: Plan, develop, direct, and coordinate gas processes.
• Technology Evaluation: Evaluate technological needs and integrate them into gas processing plants.
• Quality Assurance: Stop or postpone gas processing if quality or regulatory concerns arise and coordinate resolution; Collaborate with personnel at gas processing plants to troubleshoot issues and develop maintenance practices.
• Investigations and Reports: Conduct process and production failure investigations; Implement corrective actions and prepare reports to communicate problem/resolution/progress.
• Engineering Support: Provide engineering support to operations (LFGTE and RNG plants) in design, instrumentation, and maintenance; Collaborate with all engineering disciplines and operations staff to understand processes and provide design input.
• Process Improvement: Develop, evaluate, and improve gas processing methods; Modify processes to enhance safety, product quality, and cost efficiency.
• Documentation and Communication: Create accurate P&ID drawings, BOMs, and other engineering documentation; Compile quality data, establish regular communication, and facilitate action plans for continuous improvement; Create project specifications along with Instrumentation specifications, MOC and SOPs.
• Safety and Decision-Making: Analyze workforce utilization, space requirements, and workflow; Design layouts for equipment and workspace efficiency.
• Technical Competence: Make decisions on proper equipment selection and application; Consider cost, value, application suitability, safety, and reliability.
• Knowledge and Collaboration: Maintain knowledge of industry standards (ASME, AGA, API, AISC, OSHA, ASTM); Collaborate with outside vendors, contractors, and design teams to meet project specifications and deadlines.
• Mentorship: Act as a mentor to Process Engineers within the Alternative Fuels business unit.
• Other duties as assigned.
