| Background | It’s not pure coincidence that so many specialist engineers choose to work here at our European Regional Engineering Office. It’s because in-house we offer a breadth of exposure not often found: end-to-end development and leadership of complex £multi-million projects from conceptual design through to implementation, delivering innovation, technical expertise and leadership to ten refineries in Europe and the Middle East. It’s a unique sell which we believe speaks for itself.
If you have a talent for problem-solving, coupled with a real passion for technical professionalism and team development, then you know what you want from your career. You will be joining a company that values and rewards high-performers financially, intellectually and personally with fast track professional career development.
The opportunity to travel on short-term international business trips will be frequent and career development plans can include postings overseas to locations worldwide.
The objective of this role is to lead teams to support Investment Screening, Project Development & Design for Medium & Large Capital Investment projects for ExxonMobil affiliate refinery sites in Europe and the Middle East. Provide technical support as required during Project Execution and Commissioning.

Provide field start-up process engineering support during commissioning
Provide operating Unit Troubleshooting support - e.g. design support to Process Technology Specialists
Conduct Technical Studies - e.g. Refinery heat integration optimisation studies, and process unit de-bottlenecking studies
Support Europe/Middle East Regional Technical Training program - e.g. process design methods & design computing modules
Support Europe/Middle East Refinery retrospective plant integrity assessment (HAZOP) program.
