THE OPPORTUNITY
We have opportunities for Chemical Engineers with at least 2 (two) years of experience in a refinery environment. As consultants they will work within one or more of Trindent's four core services: Quality Giveaway Reduction, Hydrocarbon Loss Control and Measurement Assurance, Energy Intensity Enhancement, and Value Chain and Planning Optimization.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Data Analysis, Implementation & Reporting
Mine, cleanse and analyse operating data in Excel; develop dashboards, KPI grids and management reporting; support observations, audits, area profiles and continuous-improvement activities; and translate findings into practical actions with measurable financial and operational impact.
Client Collaboration & Sustainable Change
Work closely with refinery operations, planning, scheduling, laboratory, maintenance, engineering and management teams. Help implement sustainable processes, clarify accountabilities and embed new ways of working that continue after the engagement.
WITHIN ONE OR MORE OF TRINDENT'S CORE SERVICES
Quality Giveaway Reduction (Gasoline Blending)
Improve blend planning, scheduling and execution; review backcasting, analyser modelling, spectra preprocessing, trimming and offset correction; and help install site-specific blending guidelines that reduce quality giveaway and sustain improved performance.
Hydrocarbon Loss Control & Measurement Assurance
Improve volume expansion and mass-balance reporting through stronger measurement practices, calculations and reconciliation processes. Support unit-level mass balance, sediment and water analysis, hydrocarbon volume recovery, database processing and data analysis.
Energy Intensity Enhancement
Identify inefficiencies and quantify opportunities in steam, electricity, natural gas, heat-exchanger performance, fuel selection and hydrogen management. Apply process engineering and control to implement sustainable reductions in energy intensity.
Value Chain & Planning Optimization
Enhance refinery LP outputs for feedstock selection, product mix and operating constraints. Assess models for accuracy and convergence, perform sensitivity analysis, support long-range planning and improve unit mass balance through density reconciliation, measurement maintenance and continuous monitoring.
KEY SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
At least 2 (two) years of hands-on experience in a refinery environment; a strong understanding of refinery operations and process engineering; advanced data mining and analysis skills in Excel, problem-solving and communication skills; and the ability to work effectively with client stakeholders in a site-based consulting environment. Knowledge of tools such as Aspen PIMS, AVEVA Spiral, Haverly GRTMPS, Honeywell RPMS or equivalent is an advantage.
QUALIFICATIONS
Degree in Chemical Engineering or Petroleum Engineering.
A minimum of 2 (two) years of professional experience in a refinery environment is required.
WORK LOCATION & FLEXIBILITY
Client-facing consulting role supporting engagements across North America.
