Job Description
The Memphis Environmental Health & Safety team is seeking a highly driven engineer to establish process safety parameters across power generation systems and supporting utilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) of power generation systems, fuel gas, steam, and chemical utilities, and recommend controls to manage risks as low as reasonably practicable
- Evaluate equipment overpressure/overtemperature scenarios, including boilers, heat recovery systems, turbines, pressure vessels, and relief systems
- Perform/oversee Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), risk assessments, and hazard analyses on complex process and power plant equipment
- Implement and field-validate safety-critical instruments and interlocks during Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSRs) as new generating units and supporting systems come online
- Implement a Process Safety Management (PSM) program and ensure compliance with all applicable pillars of PSM
- Support commissioning and startup of new power generation facilities and major capital projects in Memphis
- Partner with operations, maintenance, and construction teams to identify and mitigate process safety risks during both ongoing operations and facility build-out
- Utilization of quality and risk tools such as root cause analysis and corrective action, HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA/PFMEA, control plans, and structured problem-solving
- Utilization of process modeling tools such as Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, and/or Aspen Dynamics
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in process safety, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or an engineering discipline
- 3+ years of experience with design, commissioning, or process safety of power generation, utilities, or high-hazard process systems
- Master’s degree in chemical engineering
- Master’s degree in chemical or mechanical engineering
- Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, single-line diagrams, equipment datasheets, and instrumentation diagrams
- Experience with reviewing safety control circuits and calculating safety performance levels (SIL/SIS)
- Experience with design, commissioning, or PHA of power plant systems such as fuel gas, boilers/HRSGs, steam turbines, high-energy piping, hydrogen, ammonia, water treatment, and bulk chemical storage
- Advanced understanding of industry codes, standards, and practices such as ASME, NFPA, ANSI, IBC/IFC, RAGAGEP, and applicable OSHA PSM / EPA RMP requirements
- Strong interpersonal and collaborative skills
- Enthusiasm for supporting high-reliability power generation that enables mission-critical operations
- This is not a remote or hybrid position and will require relocation if not already local to the Memphis, TN area
- Position occasionally requires the ability to work extended hours and weekends when needed, including during outages, commissioning, and facility startups
- To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
