Sr Engineer - Process Engineering

Overview

Senior Engineer – Process Engineering owns assigned process engineering and customer application engineering scope for boiler and thermal power plant service, retrofit, renovation and modernization (R&M), and new product introduction (NPI) programs, from inquiry-to-order through execution and product implementation.

What you'll do

• Independently execute and own assigned process engineering scope related to boiler performance, thermal system analysis, and steam-water cycle integration for service, R&M, and NPI programs.
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables such as process calculations, process flow diagrams, P&IDs, process descriptions, operating philosophies, performance evaluations, and related technical documentation.
• Analyze customer enquiries, tender documents, operating data, and technical specifications to define technically compliant, competitive, and executable application engineering solutions.
• Develop and review customer application engineering activities, including technical inputs for bids and proposals, compliance matrices, customer submittals, process schemes, technical deviations, assumptions, scope clarifications, and feasibility evaluations.
• Lead technical discussions with customers and internal stakeholders to explain proposed solutions, engineering assumptions, and application feasibility.
• Contribute to opportunity assessment for boiler upgrade and retrofit packages, including emissions-related modifications and performance improvement solutions.
• Coordinate with commercial, sourcing, execution, controls and instrumentation, mechanical, and project engineering teams to align scope, assumptions, interfaces, and deliverables.
• Identify, assess, document, and support mitigation of technical deviations, assumptions, risks, and opportunities across application engineering, project execution, and product implementation.
• Work closely with global engineering teams, regional stakeholders, and subject matter experts to align technical solutions with customer requirements, fleet needs, business objectives, and implementation constraints.
• Drive technical risk assessment reviews to identify design, performance, operability, reliability, maintainability, and execution risks associated with proposed boiler solutions.
• Take ownership of assigned ITO activities through project handover.
• Ensure high-quality and consistent engineering output for performance calculations, thermal assessments, design reviews, optimization studies, and technical evaluations.
• Support NPI activities through evaluation of new or modified process concepts, product features, design changes, engineering validation requirements, and implementation considerations.
• Contribute to design reviews, technical reviews, constructability reviews, lessons learned implementation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide technical guidance and review support to less experienced engineers and contribute to knowledge sharing across the team.
• Ensure deliverables comply with applicable standards, customer requirements, product requirements, and business processes, maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC).
• Contribute to functional initiatives and metrics related to Life Saving Rules, Product Safety embedded in design, On-Time Delivery, Right First Time, Kaizen, productivity, cost-out, quality, and Lean Six Sigma.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or equivalent from an accredited university or college.
• Relevant experience in boiler engineering, process engineering, thermal engineering, performance engineering, or steam power plant applications.
• Relevant experience in process engineering for service, retrofit, renovation and modernization (R&M), customer application engineering, or related thermal power projects.
• Strong technical knowledge of boiler performance, thermodynamics, heat and mass balance, combustion-related process considerations, and steam power plant systems.
• Experience preparing and reviewing process engineering deliverables and technical documentation for boiler or thermal power applications.
• Familiarity with engineering tools, methods, and systems relevant to process engineering, performance evaluation, and power plant applications.
• Demonstrated ability to define engineering assumptions and support resolution of technical issues within assigned scope.
• Demonstrated ability to identify, assess, and manage technical risks within assigned scope with appropriate urgency and discipline.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate technical information clearly to internal and external stakeholders.
• Ability to work to committed timelines while maintaining safety, quality, and engineering integrity.
• Willingness to travel to sites and flexibility to support business requirements, as needed.

Nice to have

• Strong analytical and technical problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to develop practical, technically sound, and customer-focused engineering solutions.
• Experience supporting customer application engineering, technical proposals, or tendering activities.
• Familiarity with NPI, product change management, validation support, or technology implementation in an engineering environment.
• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work across functions, regions, and engineering disciplines.
• Familiarity with Lean, continuous improvement, and standardization practices.
• Customer-focused mindset with balanced attention to technical, commercial, and execution priorities.
• Ability to influence through technical depth, clear communication, and disciplined execution.
• Experience using digital engineering tools, structured documentation systems, and productivity tools in a global engineering environment.
• Awareness of AI-enabled tools for engineering productivity, document quality improvement, technical knowledge retrieval, and data analysis, with appropriate engineering validation.
