WHAT’S THE ROLE?

You will be technologically supporting one of our Production Units at Shell’s Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland to run its assets safely and economically.
This Chemical Engineer role is focused on gastreating and sulphur recovery. The assets of the production unit contain typical distillation, conversion, reforming, hydrotreating, hydrocracking and gas-treatment units. You will also learn on these units by acting on the interfaces and stand in for your technologist colleagues.

Working as a Chemical Engineer supporting a Production Unit means to:

• Deliver proactive technological support to this Production Unit to ensure safe operation, asset integrity, compliance, and optimal performance (margin, energy, reliability) in both, short and long term
• Support the Production Unit during operational issues and performance troubleshooting
• Ensure process safety aspects for all plant changes and smaller projects
• Support definition and implementation of margin and energy/CO2 improvement projects
• Support Turnarounds
• Active collaboration and leverage on daily operation in close alignment with this Production Unit
• Work in multidisciplinary teams and organizations on a local but also on a global level

The role of a Chemical Engineer is well appreciated as foundation for future personal development into other areas like e.g.

• Production,
• Economics & Scheduling or
• Projects

at site or globally. Experiences gained in this job will also be crucial for supporting Rheinland’s transformation journey to a Net Zero Emission Energy and Chemicals Park.
This job offers many opportunities for training either on the job, as part of dedicated teams or by special courses.
You will participate in a multi-cultural/gender team of people with varying expertise and experience. And finally, this role allows at least partly working from home and thus creates a lot of flexibility in balancing professional and private needs.
