About the Role

As part of NOV's strategic expansion of its study and early engagement capabilities, we are seeking an experienced Front End Process Engineering Specialist to join our team. In this role, you will contribute to the growth of NOV's front-end engineering services by delivering high-quality conceptual and early-phase studies that shape the future of oil & gas topsides processing facilities. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in separation, produced water treatment, gas dehydration, and utility systems. You will play a key role not only in developing and evaluating processing solutions but also in leading teams of process engineers to ensure the successful delivery of innovative and cost-effective designs.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the development of process engineering deliverables for concept and FEED studies.

Manage and coordinate teams of process engineers throughout study phases, ensuring quality and timely delivery of process deliverables.

Evaluate and select oil & gas topsides processing technologies, with a focus on:

Separation systems (oil/gas/water).

Produced water treatment and reinjection/disposal solutions.

Gas treatment and dehydration systems.

Utility and support systems (cooling, heating, fuel, and chemicals).

Prepare process simulations, flow diagrams (PFDs), heat & material balances, and equipment sizing.

Provide input into cost, schedule, and risk evaluations during early project phases.

Support technology assessments, vendor evaluations, and design reviews.

Collaborate across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, structural, safety) to ensure integrated solutions.

Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to the broader team.

Ensure all designs comply with applicable codes, standards, and client specifications.

Qualifications

Master's degree (or higher) in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or related discipline.

5–15 years of experience in process engineering within the oil & gas industry.

Proven knowledge of topsides processing technologies in separation, produced water, gas dehydration, and utility systems.

Demonstrated experience in managing and leading process engineering teams during conceptual and FEED studies.

Proficiency in process simulation tools (e.g., Aspen HYSYS, UniSim, PRO/II).

Experience in front end engineering design (FEED) and conceptual studies.

Strong understanding of industry codes, standards, and best practices (API, ISO, ASME, etc.).

Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience with offshore facilities, FPSOs, or onshore processing plants.

Familiarity with advanced water treatment or low-emission gas processing technologies.

Experience interacting directly with clients and presenting technical findings.

Why Join Us?

Be part of NOV's growing study and early engagement team.

Opportunity to shape the design of major oil & gas projects from the ground up.

Lead and develop a high-performing process engineering team.

Work in a collaborative, innovative, and safety-driven engineering environment.

Professional development and career growth opportunities.

Competitive compensation and benefits package.
