Job Description

The Process Engineer III plays a key role in leading the design for a defined scope of work—such as an area, a series of unit operations, or systems—within a project. This position is responsible for managing scope, budget, and schedule for assigned work, which typically involves small to medium-sized projects of moderate complexity.

The Process Engineer III works closely with clients to understand design requirements, translate them into actionable scope, and document open issues, decisions, and next steps to keep the design moving forward. This role also requires identifying deviations from contracted scope or changes in design direction and escalating them to the Discipline Lead or Project Manager as needed.
