Process Engineer - Simulation and Conceptual Design

Join Utility Global

At Utility, we’re reimagining what’s possible.

Our breakthrough H2Gen® technology transforms undesirable industrial by-products into clean energy and sustainable fuels and feedstocks, helping hard-to-abate industries decarbonize without compromise. We’re building systems and solutions that will power a zero-carbon future by turning what the world doesn’t want into clean energy it needs most.

But technology alone doesn’t change the world.

People do.

We’re building a team as bold as our mission. Engineers and scientists, designers and operators, storytellers and strategists all united by a shared belief: that the undesirable can become invaluable, and that industrial decarbonization can be both practical and economical.

At Utility, we see possibilities where others see limits. We believe progress happens when diverse minds collaborate toward a cleaner, smarter, more resilient world.

If you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career, join us and help build what’s next.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Process Engineer, reporting to the Vice President of Engineering, to develop, validate, and maintain process simulation models supporting the design, optimization, and continuous improvement of Utility Global’s H2Gen® system. The role will focus on evaluating process concepts, developing heat and material balances, and assessing performance and energy efficiency to support business development, proposals, and conceptual engineering. The position will also provide simulation and process design support for project execution, troubleshooting, and plant operations as required.

Key Responsibilities:

Process Simulation and Optimization: Perform rigorous process simulations and optimizations using Promax to evaluate and improve process efficiency, operability, and economic performance.
Execute conceptual studies and techno-economic evaluations for in-house decision making and/or projects.
Benchmarking of Utility’s technology and evaluation of competing and/or new technologies.
Support the Business Development function to better understand scope of customer requirements and develop process designs.
Develop and utilize in-house simulations and tools to generate conceptual process designs for customers.
Beginning with process design, define options for execution and perform trade-offs based on efficiency, capex, opex, and economics.    
Support Technical Proposal manager with development of technical proposals for clients.
Proposal Development and Business Development Support: Assist in the preparation of technical content for Technical Proposals, client presentations, and commercial discussions, offering insights into technology and process design competitiveness.
Development of Engineering Deliverables: e.g. Basis of Design; Process Flow Diagrams, Heat & Material balances, Equipment sizing, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams.
Project Execution: Support projects during the execution of FEL phases.
Operational Support and Troubleshooting: Provide support during plant commissioning, startup and operational troubleshooting, helping clients maximize performance and reliability of units.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering.
5-10 years in a process-related industry providing process design and support, preferably in the industrial gas, LNG, Refinery, or Petrochemical space.
In depth knowledge of process engineering and industrial plant design/unit operations.
Strong understanding of engineering principles and fundamentals with the ability to adapt previous knowledge to new applications and technologies.
Understanding of hydrocarbon technologies (e.g.  reforming, partial oxidation), and other hydrogen production technologies (e.g., electrolysis, thermochemical processes, solid oxide , or emerging innovations).
Expertise in process engineering simulation software e.g. Aspen Plus, Hysys, Unisim, ProMax, VMG etc
Proven experience in development and optimization of process designs.
Demonstrated project management and leadership skills.
Experience working in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.
Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership skills.
Effective communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders and senior management.
Travel up to 20%.
