The opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Process Engineer to join Beca’s site-based Engineering Support Services team in Gresik.

The Process Engineer will provide practical engineering support for plant investigations, operational improvements, modifications and project activities. Working within a multidisciplinary team, the role will help define engineering problems, evaluate options, develop process-engineering deliverables and coordinate solutions with PT Freeport Indonesia’s site stakeholders and other engineering disciplines.

This position requires an engineer who is comfortable working in an operating industrial environment and can convert site requirements into clear, safe and practical engineering solutions.

Key responsibilities

• Investigate process-performance issues, plant constraints and engineering requirements.
• Define process-engineering inputs and develop practical options for plant modifications and improvements.
• Prepare and review process design criteria, calculations, technical assessments and engineering reports.
• Develop and update process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, process descriptions and equipment data.
• Prepare process datasheets and technical requirements for equipment, instruments and packaged systems.
• Review operating data, design information and existing documentation to support engineering decisions.
• Participate in site inspections, data collection and field-verification activities.
• Identify process-safety, operability, maintainability and constructability considerations.
• Participate in design reviews, risk reviews and other multidisciplinary engineering workshops as required.
• Coordinate process requirements with mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, civil and structural disciplines.
• Review supplier and contractor technical information for alignment with the process-design requirements.
• Assist with technical queries arising during implementation, construction or commissioning support.
• Maintain clear records of calculations, assumptions, decisions and outstanding information.
• Apply Beca’s quality systems and comply with applicable site health, safety and environmental requirements.

• Approximately five or more years of relevant process-engineering experience.
• Experience in industrial, mining, minerals processing, smelting, chemical processing or comparable process-plant environments.
• Experience developing and reviewing PFDs, P&IDs, process calculations, process datasheets and technical specifications.
• An understanding of process controls, instrumentation and interfaces with mechanical and piping systems.
• Experience investigating existing plant conditions and developing modifications for brownfield facilities.
• An understanding of process safety, risk management, operability and maintainability.
• Experience participating in multidisciplinary design reviews and technical workshops.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
• Good technical writing and documentation skills.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in Bahasa Indonesia and English.
• The ability to communicate effectively with clients, operators, engineers, designers, contractors and equipment suppliers.
