Job title:  Process Simulation Engineer (m/f/d)

ANDRITZ is seeking a dynamic Process Simulation Engineer with a focus upon integrated mass and energy balances to support our entry into the P2X-market. In this role you will be responsible to design the overall plant concept, by combining the core processes of electrolysis, carbon capture, and synthesis (e.g. for Methanol, Methanation) or electrolysis, air separation and ammonia synthesis,  for our green hydrogen and renewable fuel solutions ,and ensure integrity and as well as provide thorough analysis for optimization of the process units relating to CapEx and OpEx, in particular when intermittent power supply conditions occur.

We are looking for a professional with wealthy experience in process engineering. Your deep understanding of designing plant solutions will play a crucial role for the success of our projects. 

Join ANDRITZ's P2X-enterprise, where our mission is crystal clear: to lead in reducing CO2 emissions through innovative green hydrogen and renewable fuel plant solutions. What sets us apart? Our passionate team of engineers and a rich history of global EPC projects, combined with our leadership in technology and manufacturing. Be part of a world class dynamic team enabling to grow the green hydrogen and P2X economy with the opportunity to take over a higher management repsonbility in the future. We are enriched by our multicultural and multinational team and we continuously foster flat hierarchies and an open dialog culture.
 

If you're enthusiastic about contributing to the profitable growth within this rapidly growing division, we can't wait to connect with you.

In your role, you will

• Prepare mass- and energy balance calculations and related process flow diagrams (PFD)
• Develop innovative concepts for process modularization and standardization together with the technology development team
• Optimize the integration with adjacent processes such as power supply, CO2 capture and e-fuel production and this under intermittent power profile (such as arbitrage, grid services, control reserve operation mode)
• Develop integrated process simulation models together with CO2 capture and green hydrogen and the synthesis processes, enabling analysis for CapEx and OpEx optimization along the full value chain, ensuring lowest levelized cost of product for the given task
• Work closely with project management and disciplines such as piping, layout, static and rotating equipment, electrical and automation at the proposal and engineering phase
• Prepare media consumption figures for utilities (e.g.: electricity, water, chemicals, etc.) and collect defined required media qualities in clode cooperation with process engineers.
• Collect and provide emission data for e.g.: effluent, heat, noise, gas, etc.
• Provide calculation and sizing of sub-systems (e.g. water purification) and components (e.g. hydrogen and oxygen purification, nitrogen supply units and compression)
• Provide overall mass and energy balance system 
• Review piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) over the full project lifecycle
• Optimize system solutions by reviewing static and dynamic mass- and energy balance results
• Align and improve control strategies and maintenance philosophies
• Participate HAZID, HAZOP and LOPA studies 
• Prepare and manage equipment and component lists
• Take the responsibility to coordinate with all relevant discipline and internal and external project stakeholders
• Clarify, discuss and present the technical solution towards the customer 
• Support the function description preparation.
• Be part of the commissioning, start-up, and optimization team

In your personal skillset you have 

• Master degree level qualification in a chemical process engineering, completed with proven numeric simulation competences.
• Minimum three years of experience in lead process engineering function in EPC projects for (petro-) chemical industry.
• Knowledge about process simulation programs.
• Ability to consult with customers and notified bodies about technical design requirements is expected.
• Explain design solutions in an engaging manner
