Senior Process Engineer

At Nexus Engineering Group, our Process Engineers turn client requirements into safe, buildable process designs — from first calculation to field startup. As a Senior Process Engineer, you’ll own the basic process design of unit operations and the deliverables that drive projects forward, working shoulder-to-shoulder with project teams, vendors, and clients to get it right.

What You’ll Do

• -
• Develop the documented design basis, process descriptions, BFDs, PFDs, P&IDs, and material selection diagrams that define each project.
• -
• Build process simulation models in Aspen HYSYS and develop heat and material balances.
• -
• Perform hydraulic calculations and produce equipment sizing data sheets for compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, columns, separators, reactors, and more.
• -
• Design and size safety relief devices that protect personnel, equipment, and the process.
• -
• Interface directly with clients and provide field support throughout project execution.
• -
• Deliver work that meets quality standards and applicable codes — on schedule and within budgeted hours.

• -
• Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
• -
• 10+ years of experience in the oil & gas or chemical industries.
• -
• Hands-on experience designing process equipment (vessels, pumps, exchangers, fired heaters, compressors).
• -
• Process simulation experience with Aspen HYSYS and hydraulic analysis tools (e.g., AFT Fathom/Arrow, Visual Flare).
• -
• Strong Microsoft Office skills.
• -
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to work in teams and present a positive image to clients.
