(NYSE:PBF) is one of the largest independent refiners in North America, operating, through its subsidiaries, oil refineries and related facilities. We are a growing organization seeking a talented Process Design Engineer to join our team as a pivotal member here at PBF Energy. This role is located at Chalmette Refinery in Chalmette, LA.\nJOB SUMMARY\nThe experienced Process Design Engineer (PDE) provides process engineering design and project support for multidisciplinary projects across all units within the refinery, managing project concepts from inception to capital funding approval and through commissioning. This role involves the development, analysis, optimization, and implementation of refinery processes and systems. As a member of the Process Engineering Team, the PDE supports the Capital Projects group in developing and guiding process and project design. Additionally, this role will support unit troubleshooting, identifying and implementing process improvements, supporting site safety and environmental groups, and may assume additional process engineering responsibilities as needed. This position is based at Chalmette Refining in Chalmette, Louisiana.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\n1. Project Development\nSupport the Project Team with project engineering requirements, including process design input, technical reviews, scope definition, and alignment with engineering standards and best practices.\n\nIdentify and evaluate capital and optimization projects aligned with safety, environmental, and economic goals and standards.\n\nCollaborate with business team, technical, and project teams resources to advance initiatives.\n\n2. Process Design, Engineering & Optimization\nPerform equipment sizing and specification (pumps, heat exchangers, columns, reactors, piping, etc.).\n\nEvaluate existing processes for performance improvements, yield enhancement, energy efficiency, and cost reduction.\n\nResearch and assess technologies to improve unit operations and develop site-specific implementation plans.\n\nSupport Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and detailed engineering phases.\n\nDevelop and optimize process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and heat and material balances.\n\n3. Standards Compliance & Process Safety\nLead multidisciplinary reviews of project designs addressing process design, safety, environmental compliance, reliability, operability, constructability, and cost estimation.\n\nEnsure project development complies with PBF’s capital project best practices, industry design standards, and site-specific requirements.\n\nParticipate in PHAs, HAZOPs, and safety reviews.\n\nPerform Safety Relief Reviews (SRRs) and maintain the PSPPM database.\n\nEnsure process designs comply with regulatory and environmental standards.\n\n4. Execution Support & Field Coordination\nInterface with construction and project execution teams during construction, commissioning, and startup of new and refurbished facilities.\n\nProvide field verification and troubleshooting support to ensure accurate implementation of process designs.\n\nSupport the area process engineers during unit turnarounds, including confined space entry and inspections as needed.\n\n5. Collaboration, Mentoring & Knowledge Sharing\nCollaborate with operations, maintenance, reliability, safety, and environmental teams to ensure effective and compliant process designs.\n\nMentor process engineers in areas of expertise.\n\nCollaborate with the revision and update of PBF’s engineering practices and document lessons learned.\n\nActive participation in the site’s Loss Prevention System (LPS) and use of its tools.\n\nSupport and participate in best practice networks as needed\n\nCollaborates with the Process Engineering Leads as needed to support technical tasks requiring an experienced process engineer or expertise beyond the scope of the area Process Engineers.\n\n6. Digital Tools & Communication\nUtilize digital tools (e.g., PI System, Seeq) for process monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimization.\n\nSupport and contribute to process modeling efforts, collaborating with the process engineering team to optimize and troubleshoot refinery operations.\n\nPrepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations to communicate project progress and recommendations.\n\nUtilize Aspen HYSYS (and other applicable simulation tools) to develop, tune, and maintain rigorous process models that enable unit optimization, troubleshooting, constraint identification, debottlenecking, evaluation of operational changes and capital projects, including support for design basis development and engineering studies.\n\nJOB QUALIFICATIONS\nBachelor’s degree in chemical or mechanical engineering is required. Master’s degree in an engineering field is preferred.\n\n5-10 years of experience in refining, petrochemical or engineering firms is required.\n\nProject experience in a refinery and/or chemical plant environment is required.\n\nStrong knowledge of API, ASME, and other applicable design standards.\n\nExperience with Siemens PSPPM software is desirable.\n\nProficiency in process simulation tools (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, PRO/II).\n\nFamiliarity with process safety methodologies and Safety Relief Review using the software Siemens- PSPPM.\n\nExperience with P&ID/PFD development, equipment sizing, and capital project execution.\n\nDemonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary reviews and mentor junior engineers.\n\nStrong communication skills and ability to convey technical content to cross-functional teams.\n\nWillingness to support field activities, turnarounds, and confined space entries.\n\nThis description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee.\nWe thank all respondents for their interest in PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Energy”), however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
