Lead Process Engineer

Bechtel is seeking a Lead Process Engineer to join the Process Engineering department within the Manufacturing and Technology Business Unit (M&T).

Assigned to data center projects to lead utility system design from conceptual design through EPC execution. Plans and conducts independent work requiring judgment in the evaluation, selection, application, and adaptation of designs for critical facility systems, including cooling water, water treatment, fuel systems, compressed air, drainage, and other mechanical and process utilities. Applies relevant data center industry standards and codes, accepted design practices, client requirements, and quality standards for a global business unit.

Major

• ◆Leads and mentors process engineers and designers, fostering communication, trust, teamwork, innovation, and accountability while delivering data center utilities within scope, budget, schedule, quality, and safety requirements.
• ◆Applies engineering principles and data center practices to cooling, water, fuel, compressed air, drainage, and related utilities.
• ◆Makes independent decisions on utility capacity, redundancy, reliability, operability, maintainability, energy efficiency, and constructability.
• ◆Coordinates clients, vendors, field teams, operations, authorities, and engineering disciplines to integrate systems, resolve interfaces, and communicate

and decisions.

• ✓Represents process engineering in meetings, presenting system design, capacity, reliability, status, risks, schedule, and operating philosophy.
• ✓Defines scope, work plans, system boundaries, design criteria, capacity, redundancy philosophy, and battery limits across planning, design, procurement, construction, startup, and commissioning.
• ✓Prepares and reviews utility diagrams, P&IDs, calculations, balances, specifications, data sheets, narratives, reports, and technical proposals using approved criteria and standards.
• ✓Manages scope changes and multidisciplinary workload, assessing impacts on demand, capacity, redundancy, layout, cost, schedule, and phased deployment.
• ✓Ensures consistent deliverables comply with codes, client criteria, project specifications, and data center availability, reliability, and energy-efficiency objectives.
• ✓Identifies risks, constraints, complexity, and value opportunities; leads technical discussions and develops practical solutions supporting timely, defensible decisions and mission-critical delivery.

Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 8-10 years of relevant experience or 12-14 years of relevant work experience in data center industry.

• ✓Experience executing data center or mission-critical EPC utility engineering, with strong knowledge of engineering principles, data center design practices, client criteria, applicable regulations, ASME, NFPA, building and fire codes, and local authority requirements.
• ✓Knowledge of fluid flow, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and water chemistry, with experience developing utility demand, capacity, energy and water balances, load profiles, and design calculations.
• ✓Experience developing and reviewing utility flow diagrams, process schematics, operating narratives, P&IDs, interface and battery-limit documents, and equipment, line, valve, instrument, utility connection, and specialty-item lists.
• ✓Experience sizing and specifying pumps, heat exchangers, water treatment, storage tanks, fuel systems, packaged equipment, and control valves; performing hydraulic and line-sizing calculations; and establishing equipment and piping design pressures and temperatures for all operating cases.
• ✓Experience participating in 3D model, design, safety, constructability, operability, commissioning, and reliability reviews; closing actions; and coordinating mech
