Ready to combine technical expertise with leadership and real project impact?

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Process Engineer Lead to take ownership of process engineering activities across tenders and projects, while leading a globally distributed team of engineers.

This role goes beyond technical execution—you will play a key role in shaping process strategy, mentoring engineers, and driving project outcomes. 

If you are a strong individual contributor ready to grow into leadership - or already leading and looking for broader impact - this is a role where you can accelerate.

• Collaborate with the Discipline Manager to define and align process team objectives within the project

• Provide appropriate process engineering input to design activities undertaken by other inter-discipline engineering within the project team

• Act as the process engineering interface with internal disciplines, vendors, and  stakeholders

• Ensure all deliverables are technically accurate and aligned with scope, budget, schedule, and quality standards

• Mentor and develop (junior) process engineers while fostering a collaborative, high-performing team environment and strong team spirit

• Execute feasibility studies, conceptual design, and process studies

• Develop key design documentation (e.g., Heat & Material Balance, PFDs, P&IDs, datasheets) and support other process engineers in their preparation

• Represent process engineering in technical design reviews (e.g., P&ID, HAZOP, SIL, HAZID) as well as in client and vendor meetings

• Identify risks, gaps, and opportunities for process improvement

Qualifications & Skills

Essential Qualifications:
