PowerChina HDEC is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Process Engineer to join our Dubai office, supporting large-scale EPC sewage water treatment projects.

Relocation to Dubai, UAE residency visa and medical insurance will be provided to successful candidates.

Main responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Participate in pre-bid meetings, site inspections, and client consultations to capture critical project data, design constraints, and effluent quality and reuse requirements.
• Review tender documents, guide/ prepare RFIs and technical clarifications, and conduct risk assessments to identify execution challenges and define mitigation strategies across bid and project stages.
• Guide/ Develop and maintain PFDs and P&IDs with precise mass and energy balances and control descriptions across all treatment stages — including primary clarification, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and biogas processing.
• Guide/ Develop and refine Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), ensuring precise mass and energy balances, control description across all treatment stages—including primary clarification, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and biogas processing.
• Size and specify process equipment for primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment phases, sludge dewatering, and biogas handling systems — including power and chemical consumption estimation to meet discharge and reuse standards.
• Ensure all process designs comply with international best practices and local authority standards (HI, ASME, AWWA, ISO, IFC, DEWA, ADDC, SEC), including hazardous area, safety, and emissions regulations.
• Supporting/ leading Evaluation of vendor proposals, technical drawings, and equipment specifications — providing process inputs for layout, general arrangement drawings, and recommendations to Procurement and Project Management teams.

• The ability to prepare and/or review comprehensive process design package deliverables, including technical specifications, design calculations, engineering reports, equipment datasheets, process control philosophies, P&IDs, mass balance diagrams, and related documentation.
• Expertise in process design software (such as GPS-X, BioWin) to simulate biological nutrient removal (BNR) and plant performance under varying load conditions for optimisation.
• Proven expertise in developing and reviewing the comprehensive Hydraulic Grade Lines (HGL) to ensure seamless gravity-driven flow across primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment stages, with a focus on optimising the energy consumption & CAPEX.
• Ability to travel and visit operational works and construction sites as required, and to assess existing and new process performance.
• Strong project integration skills, including cost estimation, vendor evaluation, and stakeholder coordination, with the ability to communicate complex technical issues clearly and resolve challenges decisively under project pressure.
• Ability to prepare and evaluate technical proposals, RFPs, BOQs, specifications, and tender documents for electrical and instrumentation systems.
• Excellent technical writing and documentation skills for preparing engineering reports, compliance statements, and design justifications.
• Experience in AutoCAD, reviewing on 3D tool, MS Office applications (or equivalent) such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
