What this role is
An entry-level engineer developing foundational skills in designing and supporting chemical manufacturing processes under close guidance. At the Support Specialist (S2) level, the role owns a defined queue or customer set, standard issues within known procedures, and drives customer satisfaction for own queue. None.
What this level does
- Carries out multi-step isolation and reconfiguration test procedures for different chemical elements, recognizing when a reading falls outside the expected range and flagging it
- Builds routine process models from established templates in HYSYS/CHEMCAD, populating streams and unit blocks per the assignment's general expectations and deadlines
- Prepares CAD drawings of equipment setups for optimal safety and efficiency from marked-up sketches, following drafting standards
- Compiles safety-compliance and environmental-regulation checklists during runs, noting deviations for engineer review
- Knowledge applied
- Broad knowledge of test procedures, model templates, and drafting standards acquired for varied assignments.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Semi-routine, multi-step procedures; recognizes the need for occasional deviation and flags out-of-range results.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Routine peer interaction with engineers and technicians; works to general expectations, deadlines, and priorities.
- Typical experience
- 1–2 yrs; some related lab/technical experience.
Skills at this level
- Process Simulation Model Building
- — Populates and runs computer models of chemical processes in tools such as Aspen HYSYS, CHEMCAD, or DWSIM — entering streams, unit blocks, and parameters — to reproduce or predict process behavior for engineer analysis.
- CAD Drafting for Equipment Setups
- — Uses CAD software to draft and edit equipment-setup and layout drawings that support safe and efficient chemical runs, working from supplied dimensions, sketches, or marked-up prints.
- Bench and Pilot Test Execution
- — Runs procedures to isolate different chemical elements and reconfigure them, tests the resulting products, and records readings on standard data sheets following prescribed sampling and sequencing steps.
- Equipment Setup and Startup
- — Configures reactors, absorption, evaporation, and related process equipment per checklists, verifying safety guards and startup conditions before a chemical run.
- Operational Troubleshooting
- — Identifies likely causes of operational problems or failures during test and pilot runs by evaluating equipment and system characteristics against expected behavior.
- Safety and Environmental Compliance Documentation
- — Compiles and maintains checklists and records that document a run's compliance with safety and environmental regulations, noting deviations for engineer review.
- Test Procedure Adaptation
- — Modifies standard test and setup procedures for unprecedented chemical runs where no established method fits, and documents the revised approach for reuse.
- Protocol and Template Creation
- — Develops new standardized test protocols, simulation templates, and setup procedures within a specialized process area (such as oxidation) for adoption across the group.
- Scientific and Mathematical Application
- — Applies working knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to set up runs correctly, interpret readings, and check that recorded data is internally consistent.
- Working-Lead Task Coordination
- — Coordinates the sequencing of test tasks and reviews the data sheets, models, and drawings of less experienced technicians, guiding their work without formal supervisory authority.
