FINAL Chemical Process Engineer
www.careersinoilandgas.com
CHEMICAL PROCESS ENGINEER #RefineryEngineer #OperationsEngineer #PlantEngineer #LiquidFuelsEngineer Solutions can come down to a molecule. Critical issues regarding energy efficiency, the environment and economics can be traced back to chemical processes. What is the most efficient way to extract oil and gas or reclaim a tailings pond? How does a company improve wastewater recycling? You have plenty of solutions to bring to the table. If you like chemistry and collaboration, this role might be for you.
What does this career look like? Every problem has a solution. You know that. Your brain is hardwired to problem solve and improve efficiencies through chemical processes, from oil and gas production to refining. You often resolve or manage these issues with the help of a team of experts from a variety of other disciplines and backgrounds. A lot of your work involves brainstorming solutions to expand operations, improve efficiencies, reduce emissions and resolve other business issues. You might determine how to reduce emissions from a steam generator or come up with a new method to separate oil from water through the manipulation of temperature, chemical density, specific gravity or pressure. Your job involves a good deal of collaboration. Your ultimate goal is to improve efficiencies, costs and environmental performance.

HOW DO I GET HERE? A post-secondary degree in chemical engineering, computer process control, process engineering or a related discipline from an institution accredited by Engineers Canada is required. Some positions may also require a graduate degree. Licensing To obtain a licence as a professional engineer (P.Eng), you must obtain a degree from an accredited engineering program, pass a professional practice exam and have three or four years of engineering experience, of which one year must be gained in Canada. You must also have Canadian citizenship or proof of permanent residency in Canada.
HEALTH & SAFETY TRAINING • Incident and Accident Investigation • Specific health and safety certifications will be determined by job requirements.
What would I do? You do chemistry. You research, design and develop chemical processes and equipment to make the oil and gas industry better economically and environmentally. You may conduct feasibility studies. It’s good to have suggestions on how to make improvements, but are they technically or economically feasible? You’ll need to answer that question. Specific activities include: 4 Troubleshooting problems with a chemical manufacturing process 4 Preparing production cost estimates and production progress reports for management 4 Overseeing the construction, operation and maintenance of pilot plants, processing units or processing plants
