Aromatics Complex Process Specialist

Job Description and Requirements
As the successful candidate you will hold a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from a recognized and approved program. An advanced degree is preferred.

You will have a minimum of 15 years of experience in refinery or petrochemical operations and engineering, including at least 10 years in complex aromatics technologies.
You will have a minimum of 5 years of experience with technologies for the production of para-xylene from naphtha reformer derived feedstock, including para-xylene recovery (either selective adsorption or crystallization or both), xylenes isomerization, and transalkylation.
You will be able to demonstrate a solid understanding of Simulated Moving Bed technologies for selective adsorption and to explain and teach that understanding to others.
You will also have a minimum of 3 years of experience with technologies for the extraction of aromatics, either from reformate or pyrolysis gasoline feedstocks, using extractive distillation (ED) or liquid/liquid extraction (LLE).
Experience with more than one operating facility is strongly desirable, as is experience with more than one process licensor technology.
You will have a solid background in the comparison of alternative technologies for aromatics, including the advantages and disadvantages of aromatics extraction using ED versus LLE, para-xylene recovery using selective adsorption versus crystallization, and ideally you will understand the impact of Light Desorbent selective adsorption against Heavy Desorbent selective adsorption.
You will be able to demonstrate a solid understanding of the impact of new aromatics technologies from all major licensors and their potential application to Saudi Aramco assets.
Ideally, you will also have some background in the technical impact of aromatics derived from steam cracking and understand the effects of using pygas in a conventional aromatics complex, as well as Toluene Methylation, Selective Toluene Disproportionation, and Ethylbenzene extraction.
You will possess strong mentorship skills with the ability and drive to guide the development of junior aromatics complex process engineers as well as strong teaching abilities.
You will possess strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to summarize and explain complex processes and technologies in terms suitable for economic evaluations and strategic management decision making. Ideally you would have authored publications or patents in the field of aromatics technologies.
Duties & Responsibilities:
You will be required to perform the following:

Conduct process configuration/feasibility studies for aromatics complexes and technologies
Participate in the development and review of design basis scoping protocols for aromatics projects
Maintain and review list of approved process licensor technologies for aromatics
Review detailed designs for aromatics technologies
Participate as process subject matter expert in PHA and HazOp reviews
Support construction, commissioning, and startup of new aromatics facilities
Support post-commissioning troubleshooting and optimization of aromatics facilities
Organize Technical Exchange Meetings, Community of Practice Workshops, and other knowledge sharing activities for aromatics
Coordinate vendor training courses, develop and teach new aromatics courses
Develop and update Best Practice documents for aromatics technologies
