* Perform simulations using **Aspen HYSYS (preferred)** or equivalent tools
* Develop:
+ Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
+ Piping \& Instrumentation Diagrams (P\&IDs)
+ Heat \& material balances
* Evaluate system performance, troubleshoot operational issues, and recommend improvements

**Design \& Drafting**
* Develop **detailed 2D/3D CAD drawings** using **SolidWorks (preferred)** or AutoCAD:
+ Skid layouts and modular equipment packages
+ General Arrangement (GA) drawings
+ Piping isometrics and spool drawings
+ Equipment layouts for field installation
* Translate process requirements into constructible, field\-ready designs
* Ensure designs comply with:
+ ASME, ANSI, CSA (as applicable)
+ Company and client specifications
* Support redlines, as\-builts, and revision control

**Project Execution \& Field Support**
* Collaborate with project managers, fabrication teams, and field crews
* Provide site drawing packages for installation and commissioning
* Participate in:
+ Equipment FAT/SAT
+ Field walkdowns and commissioning support
* Resolve field issues by updating drawings and process documentation in real time
* Support procurement with equipment specs and datasheets

**Cross\-functional Support**
* Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and controls teams
* Assist in development of:
+ Equipment sizing (vessels, compressors, heaters, valves)
+ Instrumentation and control philosophies
* Contribute to continuous improvement of design standards and templates

**Safety, Compliance \& Standards**
* Participate in HAZOP and safety reviews
* Ensure compliance with engineering and design standards
* Support permitting and regulatory documentation

**Qualifications**
------------------


**Education**
* Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering


Experience
* 2\-8 years in natural gas processing, CNG/LNG or midstream systems
* Experience with natural gas decompression / decanters, compression systems, and/or oilfield / industrial site designs and layouts


Technical Skills
* **SolidWorks (preferred)** or AutoCAD – strong proficiency required
* **Aspen HYSYS (preferred)** or similar process simulation tools
* Experience developing:
+ PFDs, P\&IDs, and GA drawings
+ Isometrics and fabrication drawings
* Familiarity with:
+ Pressure vessels, compressors, and gas processing equipment
+ Applicable codes and standards (ASME B31\.3, Section VIII, etc.)

Preferred Skills
* Experience with packaged gas systems (CNG trailers, PRUs, VRUs, dehydration skids)
* Exposure to compressor systems (e.g., Ariel, screw compressors, etc.)
* Experience with 3D plant modeling or layout optimization
* Field commissioning or startup experience
* Professional Engineer (P.Eng / PE) designation or eligibility

**Soft Skills**
