Internship - Development of process engineering design tools (F/M)

Axens Presentation: Axens group provides a complete range of solutions for the conversion of oil and biomass to cleaner fuels, the production and purification of major petrochemical intermediates, the chemical recycling of plastics, all-natural gas treatment and conversion options along with water treatment and carbon capture. The offer includes technologies, equipment, furnaces, modular units, catalysts, adsorbents and related services. Axens is also specialized in Carbon Capture.

Axens is ideally positioned to cover the entire value chain, from feasibility study to unit start-up and follow-up throughout the entire unit life cycle. This unique position ensures the highest level of performance with a reduced environmental footprint. Axens global offer is based on highly trained human resources, modern production facilities and an extended global network for industrial, technical support commercial services.

Axens combines the friendliness of a company on a human scale and the influence of a multinational environment whose customers are spread over more than 85 countries. Axens is an IFP Group company. Context: Process Department is part of Project Operations Business Division (POP).

It aims at providing Basic Engineering Design Package (PDP) of various technologies (clean fuels, plastic, biofuels, etc.) or to support project department in FEED (Front End Engineering Design) or EPF projects (Engineering, Construction, Fabrication) of modular units. The intern will join the process engineering team of process department specializing in FEED and EPF execution for modularized units. During this period, you will also work with OPEX (Operation Excellence) Department which in charge of supporting POP divisions by developing new design tools.

Tasks and activities: Main tasks can be summarized as: - to develop practical tools to improve the execution of modular engineering projects. Your main responsibility will be to design and develop Excel-based applications that facilitate detailed hydraulic calculations, line sizing, and other key engineering tasks used during project execution, - to collaborate closely with experienced process engineers to identify standardization opportunities and improve efficiency through the automation and digitalization of routine calculations, - to relay user feedback from process engineers to capture requirements and confirm solution adequacy, - to test and validate your tools on an active project and assess their impact on project execution, - to develop user guidelines to support the use of your tools, - to perform training / webinar sessions to explain your tools to process engineers.
