[Hiring] Chemical Process Engineering Consultant @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in chemical engineering, process design, plant workflows, process safety, scale-up, EH&S documentation, and structured process-industry review. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured chemical engineering review, process documentation, plant workflow analysis, process safety assessment, simulation review, environmental and safety documentation, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their chemical engineering expertise to review realistic process-industry scenarios, evaluate technical requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based engineering workflow tasks.

Key Responsibilities

• Process Design, Simulation & Scale-Up Review
  • Review chemical engineering scenarios involving process flow diagrams, P&IDs, mass and energy balance models, process simulations, and scale-up documentation.
  • Evaluate process design materials against source data, technical requirements, engineering assumptions, and expected workflow outcomes.
  • Support structured review of Aspen Plus, CHEMKIN, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or similar simulation-related materials.
  • Identify missing assumptions, process inconsistencies, documentation gaps, and expected technical review outcomes.
• Plant Workflows, Safety & Reliability Support
  • Review plant engineering scenarios involving production workflows, turnaround plans, process changes, operating procedures, and technical documentation.
  • Evaluate PHA, HAZOP, OSHA PSM, safety review materials, and process risk documentation against defined requirements.
  • Support structured review of plant operations, process safety workflows, hazard analysis materials, and engineering control documentation.
  • Prepare clear written explanations for chemical engineering decisions based on source materials and verifiable technical criteria.
• EH&S, Sustainability & Process Documentation
  • Review EH&S scenarios involving emissions compliance, sustainability engineering, environmental documentation, product development, and process-industry reporting.
  • Evaluate technical documents connected to chemical, petrochemical, specialty materials, R&D, product development, and process engineering workflows.
  • Support structured review of materials connected to Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Aspen Plus, CHEMKIN, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or similar systems.
  • Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in chemical engineering, process engineering, plant engineering, process design, process simulation, scale-up, process safety, EH&S, sustainability engineering, R&D, product development, or related process-industry roles.
• Experience in chemical, petrochemical, specialty materials, energy, industrial manufacturing, EPC, or process-heavy engineering environments.
• Background in one or more areas such as process design, process simulation, plant workflows, operations engineering, turnaround planning, PHA, HAZOP, OSHA PSM, product development, emissions compliance, or sustainability engineering.
• Familiarity with tools such as Aspen Plus, CHEMKIN, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, or similar process engineering systems.
• Comfort reading and preparing engineering artifacts such as process flow diagrams, P&IDs, PHA/HAZOP reports, mass and energy balance models, turnaround plans, OSHA PSM documentation, technical reports, and workflow summaries.
• Strong analytical thinking and written communication skills.
• Ability to translate chemical process workflows into clear, structured task documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's, master's, or PhD degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, materials engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering, chemistry, or a related technical field is helpful.
• Equivalent practical experience in chemical process engineering, plant workflows, process safety, R&D, scale-up, or EH&S documentation is also highly relevant.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a chemical, petrochemical, specialty materials, energy, industrial manufacturing, or major engineering/EPC organization.
• Familiarity with PHA, HAZOP, OSHA PSM, mass and energy balances, process simulation, turnaround planning, emissions compliance, sustainability engineering, or plant documentation.
• Experience preparing or reviewing process flow diagrams, P&IDs, simulation outputs, safety documentation, process reports, plant procedures, or technical workspaces.
• PE license, process safety training, Six Sigma, Lean, EH&S, sustainability, or chemical engineering certifications are helpful.
• Strong attention to detail in technical, safety-sensitive, and documentation-heavy process environments.

Benefits

• Apply chemical engineering and process-industry expertise to structured remote project work.
• Contribute to high-quality process documentation review, safety workflow analysis, simulation assessment, and technical scenario development.
• Work on flexible, project-based assignments aligned with your chemical engineering background.
• Use your engineering judgment in a focused, detail-oriented technical environment.
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation.

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling.
• Part-time commitment depending on project availability.
• Competitive rates between $60–$85 per hour depending on expertise.
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise.
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance.
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
