Engineer Operation Process – Tjeldbergodden

<!–

Personal Qualities

–>

We’re 23,000 colleagues in more than 30 countries delivering oil, gas, wind and solar power to 170 million people worldwide. Taking on tough energy challenges is our job. Right now, we’re facing an enormous task: supplying the world with the energy it needs, while lowering emissions.

We’re up for the challenge. Are you?

The position

By joining our team in Marketing, Midstream & Processing you will have the opportunity to:

Work close to the industrial plant at Tjeldbergodden where you will be part of an operations engineering unit with process expertise. The industrial plant consists of three factories: A gas receiving facility for natural gas from the Heidrun field, a methanol factory and an air separation unit (ASU). Simply explained, you can say that natural gas is converted into synthesis gas (with a little help from oxygen gas from the ASU) which in turn becomes methanol. Something worth noting about the synthesis gas is that it mainly consists of hydrogen. Hydrogen has been a topic in the energy debate for several years, and there is no way around hydrogen if the world wants net zero emissions. We at Tjeldbergodden are therefore proud to be able to say that we have expertise in hydrogen production and handling. Will you become part of this expertise?

We are looking for candidates within the process discipline in the operation department.

A process engineer will hold the role of an operational system manager. Examples of areas for distribution (but not limited to) are gas receiving facility, auxiliary facilities, reforming section, synthesis, distillation, tank farm, product jetty, effluent treatment, central control room and simulator. A process engineer also cover important tasks within energy and process optimization, general improvement work, external environmental tasks and serves as a contact point for external actors. You will be involved in these tasks to a greater or lesser extent.

For this position we are looking for an operation process engineer for the control room and simulator. However, there will be an individual assessment in each case as to consider if some of the other areas and tasks are available for allocation.

Responsibilities and deliverables: (but not limited to):

• Be an active participant in daily EPOG (Energy & Production Optimization Group) work.

• Contribute to ensuring that the operators in CCR (Central Control Room) operate the facilities in a safe and efficient manner, ensuring common practices across shift organizations.

• Evaluate descents and run-ups in connection with (planned/unplanned) shutdown of facilities.

• Lead the analysis work of alarms in CCR.

• Responsibility for defining the simulator needs of Tjeldbergodden (operating philosophy simulator).

• Ensure that necessary maintenance and upgrades of the simulator and CCR are carried out, that the training simulator is available according to needs.

• Develop and maintain local structure for education and training of CCR operators.

• Carry out courses/training of CCR operators and hold the role of instructor responsible.

• Be Tjeldbergodden’s representative in Equinor’s simulator network, and collaborate with other facilities within the business unit on best practice for CCR/Simulator.

• Hold the role of Academic Manager for the process apprentices and ensure that they receive training in accordance with the curriculum.

You will face interesting challenges both related to existing facilities and possible new value chains towards a low-carbon future.
