Thermal Process Engineer

**Responsibilities**:

- Provide technical expertise in the evaluation and enhancement of combined cycle thermal performance and balance of plant design
- Enhance combined cycle performance estimates by using developed tools to reliably perform these calculations and diagnostic objectives in a timely manner.
- Evaluate thermal performance of steam cycles [power output, heat rate, stage pressures, temperatures and component efficiencies] utilizing thermodynamic principles.
- Determine the causes of steam cycle performance losses through diagnostic analysis of operational data for both steady-state and transient operation, along with plant components as required. This work includes: Gross performance characterization of major power plant components (GT, ST, HRSG/OTSG, Condenser). And, Detailed analysis of ST performance (Compressor & Turbine) to be able to identify stage and subcomponent performance losses, and where necessary, utilize thermal engineering software (SimCenter, Thermoflow or Industry equivalent)
- Assist to develop thermal performance testing procedures to demonstrate compliance with contractual performance guarantees which follow client requirements & standards. This work will include participation in the performance test / data collection and analysis of test results.
- Lead technical evaluations of effects GT upgrades will have on steam cycle components (HRSG/OTSG, STG, Condenser, Feedwater and other systems).
- Interface with other disciplines within or external to the company, communicating at a technical level that can be understood clearly.
- Preparation, Review & approval of PFDs, HFDs (Heat Flow Diagram), Heat & Mass balance
- Preparation, Review & approval of P&IDs
- Lead and participate design review meetings with client
- Prepare/review Equipment datasheets & review vendor data
- Prepare Operating control & Safeguarding philosophies
- Prepare & Review of Material requisition of Gas turbine, Steam Turbine, Balance of Plant (BOP), Pumps, Heat exchangers, Air coolers, Waste heat recovery unit
- Review technical bid evaluation of all key equipment, instruments, and support to conclude technically preferred supplier
- Participation in Hazop review & submission of actions close-out
- Participation in SIL (IPF) review & support for actions close-out
- Prepare/Review precommissioning and startup procedures
- To support site activities during commissioning and startup
