Senior Process Engineer (Chemical / Industrial Design)
We are seeking a Senior Process Engineer to join a collaborative, high‑performing consulting engineering team supporting specialty chemical and industrial manufacturing projects. This role is ideal for a technically strong process engineer who can step up, take ownership, and confidently engage with clients while delivering complex, high‑quality process designs.
About the Team
You’ll be joining a 14‑person process engineering group. The group is known for being adaptable and solution‑oriented - true “chameleons” who flex to meet client needs, even when requirements evolve or preferences are strong.
What You’ll Do
Lead and support the planning and design phases of process equipment, systems, and facilities for industrial and specialty chemical clients
Drive the technical success of projects, ensuring process designs align with client goals, plant operations, and regulatory requirements
Design process systems ranging from straightforward to highly complex
Develop and review core process deliverables, including:
Heat and material balances
Hydraulic calculations
PFDs and P&IDs
Process equipment and instrumentation selection
Piping material selection
Process safety evaluations and relief device studies
Work closely with multi‑disciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical, structural, controls) and provide clear technical direction and documentation to Project Engineers
Apply a Stage‑Gate project delivery approach, understanding both how plants operate and how projects are executed
Partner directly with clients, helping define what they want to do and how to do it—while offering alternative solutions when appropriate
Participate in field verifications, site observations, RFI responses, and submittal reviews
What We’re Looking For
BS in Chemical Engineering (Mechanical Engineering considered with strong process experience)
PE license
5+ years of consulting engineering experience, with a focus on industrial and specialty chemical process design
Prior experience working directly for a manufacturer is highly valued, but consulting experience is required
Proficiency with AutoCAD; familiarity with Navisworks (limited Revit exposure)
Experience with tools such as AFT Fathom, Arrow, and Excel
Strong communicator who can sit down with clients, build trust, and take ownership of solutions
A proactive mindset with the ability and desire to step up, lead technically, and bring vision to projects
