RESPONSIBILITIES

Process/Process Control Engineers (Chemical Engineers): Process engineers provide technical support for the plant operations. They will be assigned a specific unit or units within the Refinery with responsibilities of daily monitoring and troubleshooting of their areas, process optimization, design and development of capital projects as well as major modifications to existing units. Process engineers will apply state-of-the-art technology with regard to process simulation and optimization. They will recommend programs and procedures to increase the economic efficiency of refining operations. Process Control engineers provide technical support for the refinery's sophisticated Distributed Control System. They work in a team environment with line operators and engineers to maintain and troubleshoot control system problems as well as develop advanced control applications for the process units. Advanced control applications can range from product blending to dynamic matrix controls and rule-based systems. Process Control engineers must also track emerging technology to help determine future control strategies and investments.

Electrical Engineers: Electrical engineers interface with a wide variety of personnel on instrumentation and power distribution issues. Typical activities range from providing technical assistance in maintenance type functions to coordinating new systems associated with capital investments. Emphasis is placed on ensuring reliability in the instrument and electrical distribution systems. In addition, Electrical engineers must be proficient with pertinent issues of the electrical and instrument codes and specification.

Project/Reliability Engineer (Mechanical Engineers): Project engineers are involved in the technical development of all types of refinery projects, organizing and coordinating projects from conception through construction and startup. Projects may include for example, the installation of new vessels and exchangers, pump and piping modifications, and the installation of instrumentation necessary to enhance unit performance.

Reliability engineers support the refinery's maintenance department through design and development of equipment reliability improvements, root cause failure analysis, and optimization of maintenance predictive and preventive programs. Reliability Engineers will continuously be challenged with finding new technology in design, materials and repair methods to achieve refinery goals of longer running times at lower costs
