Our client will hire several persons this year. They are looking for Degreed Engineering Professionals who are either a generalist in several of the skills noted above or someone who is a specialist in any one aspect.
Successful candidates can expect to spend an assimilation period from months to several years duration in the Central Engineering Office in Houstonor in Virginia about 14 miles south of the District of Columbiabefore joining one of the worldwide teams, in either a contractor's office or at a field site. Some positions do not require relocation away from Houston or Fairfax. All require travel.
This Department of 200 or so professionals supports the projects at over 40 worldwide plant sites engaged in refining and petrochemicals. The projects all exceed $25 million in size, with some being much larger. Project completion times are sometimes measured in months and sometimes in years. The plant and EPC contractor sites are usually located in well developed countries so there are usually well developed and safe infrastructures available for family living. At any given time, perhaps 1/4 of this Group is present in Fairfax or Houston. This type of position requires extensive travel and somewhat frequent relocation (family status) - it is a nomadic life style that impacts your family and is inseparable from these positions. Uplifts in salary are sometimes paid to compensate for expatriate service which is usually on a family basis.
The project engineering individuals being sought have worked as project engineers during detailed engineering or have a good overall knowledge of the basic aspects of detailed engineering from the perspective they would be overseeing a contractor's detailed engineering team.
Big pluses from a technical content view of your experience would be:
Experience with refinery and chemical process equipment;
Experience with a gated project management system;
Experience taking projects from conception through FEED and construction and start-up;
Experience preparing / reviewing / working with project estimates;
In the field construction experience, hands on or supervising a group or task;
Project Analysis, such as benchmarking projects against a standard or other companies;
Doing or immediate oversight of project controls folks / activities;
Contracts experience - either writing or administration of contracts with subcontractors;
Experience as an employee of a major oil or chemical company or an EPC, A&E, or E&C.
Things that DO NOT count as credit to your candidacy for these positions include:
Non refinery or chemical manufacturing / plant engineers who do projects such as Re-structuring a production line, adding a machine, daily production-management activities; Those who have worked projects at a high level - executives or senior managers.
Our client strongly prefers the five to fifteen year experienced candidates because all will have to come in to the Group and learn the Client's Project Related Systems. That means starting down in the details therefore the client requires persons who have not moved too far out of working the engineering / project management issues.
Even experienced hires often do not move directly into a Project Manager position. The client typically - after the interview - figures out the best starting assignment in the Group. Typically, if the recent experienced hire shows the skills, they will get the next assignment and move up the ladder as quickly as they can assimilate the material and apply it.
All Candidates MUST HAVE:
A Minimum Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from a Fully Accredited Institution with a solid GPA of (3.2 / 4.0) or better. Master's & PhD's Welcome;
USA Citizenship or a USA Permanent Resident Visa;
At least 5 years USA industrial experience in project work in the Chemical Process, Refining or Oil / Gas Industry After the Award Of The Degree with 10 - 15 Years Left In Career.
An Employment History not Characterized by Frequent Changes Of Employer.
Good References and a Drug Free Record, including no DWI's / DUI's.
The client offers an excellent working environment with opportunities for career advancement and a competitive compensation and benefits package. The relocation package is extremely good.
