Responsibilities and Accountabilities
• The position is accountable for understanding and putting into practice the INEOS 20 Principles. Additionally, the team leader has a special responsibility to cascade the understanding of these principles through their team.
• Lead the Process Engineering function as a site-wide technical discipline, providing clear priorities, consistent expectations, and effective allocation of process engineering resources.
• Establish and sustain standardized methods, tools, calculations, documentation, and review practices for process engineering work across all operating units.
• Maintain strong interfaces with unit teams while preserving discipline governance, independent technical judgment, and consistent site standards.
• Build process engineering capability and succession depth through structured development, mentoring, work assignment, and technical progression.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
1. Team Leadership and Site-Wide Support
• Translate site priorities into an integrated Process Engineering work plan across Olefins, Polymers, and Utilities.
• Assign and rebalance work based on risk, business impact, urgency, workload, and development needs.
2. Process Engineering Standards and Technical Assurance
• Maintain standardized work practices, templates, calculations, documentation requirements, and quality checks.
• Ensure appropriate technical review of evaluations and analyses, ensure assumptions, data sources, risks, recommendations, and approvals are clearly documented
3. Process Performance, Troubleshooting, and Operating Discipline
• Lead technical challenge for complex troubleshooting across process equipment and controls
• Ensure structured problem solving is used and corrective actions are technically sound, sustainable, and verified where needed.
4. Process Safety Compliance and Risk Reduction
• Provide discipline leadership for Safe Operating Limits, operating envelopes, and associated technical bases.
• Provide process engineering support for PHAs, HAZOPs, LOPAs, MOCs, investigations, audits, and risk reviews.
5. Environmental Compliance
• Provide timely calculations, technical bases, data evaluation, and root-cause support for environmental events and permit compliance.
• Guide evaluation of process design, operating strategy, emissions reduction opportunities, and environmental improvement feasibility.
6. Continuous Improvement and Projects
• Promote technically justified improvements that strengthen process safety, reliability, environmental performance, and operating stability.
• Assure sound engineering basis, risk review input, acceptance criteria, and documentation for plant trials and technical evaluations.
7. Development of Process Engineers
• Maintain development plans that build technical skills, process safety knowledge, unit experience, business understanding, and leadership behaviors.
• Provide coaching, feedback, mentoring, peer review, and targeted training to strengthen engineering judgment and execution.
