TL;DR · Liquefied Natural Gas Process/Project Engineer

The Liquefied Natural Gas Process/Project Engineer will join the team to support methane liquefaction infrastructure build and natural gas pipeline design projects. This role involves providing engineering and project management support, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders to make high-level technical decisions. The engineer will manage relationships with third-party contractors and vendors for core equipment like compressors, heat exchangers, and cryogenic systems while overseeing execution from concept to commissioning. Key responsibilities include optimizing designs based on liquefaction processes and ensuring adherence to safety protocols. Required skills include a deep understanding of cryogenic thermodynamics, heat exchangers, and compressors, along with familiarity with process simulation tools such as Aspen, HYSYS, or ProMax. The role addresses the technical challenges of methane liquefaction systems and natural gas infrastructure within the industrial gas and energy sectors.

What you'll do

  • Provide engineering and project management support for methane liquefaction systems and natural gas pipeline installations.
  • Coordinate with EPC firms on the design and construction of infrastructure projects.
  • Manage relationships with third-party vendors to ensure core equipment meets quality, safety, and performance standards.
  • Oversee project execution from concept to commissioning through progress reviews and site visits.
  • Apply liquefaction process knowledge to optimize designs and evaluate contractor proposals.
  • Ensure all activities comply with safety protocols, environmental standards, and industry best practices.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in chemical, mechanical, or petroleum engineering.
  • 3+ years of experience in LNG processing, cryogenics, or the natural gas industry.
  • Strong understanding of cryogenic thermodynamics, heat exchangers, compressors, and expanders.
  • Familiarity with process simulation tools such as Aspen, HYSYS, or ProMax.
  • Knowledge of applicable codes and standards for LNG and pipeline design.
  • Ability to work in extreme outdoor environments, at heights up to 500ft, and in confined spaces.
  • Capability to perform physical tasks including lifting up to 50 lbs and operating heavy equipment.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or eligible for required export control authorizations.
