Remote | Chemical Process Engineering Consultant — $60–$85/hour

24-MAG, New York, NY, United States


Overview
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in chemical engineering, process design, plant workflows, process safety, scale-up, EH&S documentation, and structured process-industry review. This role supports remote consulting opportunities focused on structured chemical engineering review, process documentation, plant workflow analysis, process safety assessment, simulation review, environmental and safety documentation, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their chemical engineering expertise to review realistic process-industry scenarios, evaluate technical requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based engineering workflow tasks.

Responsibilities
Professionals in this role may contribute to:

Process Design, Simulation & Scale-Up Review: Review chemical engineering scenarios involving process flow diagrams, P&IDs, mass and energy balance models, process simulations, and scale-up documentation

Evaluate process design materials against source data, technical requirements, engineering assumptions, and expected workflow outcomes

Support structured review of Aspen Plus, CHEMKIN, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or similar simulation-related materials

Identify missing assumptions, process inconsistencies, documentation gaps, and expected technical review outcomes

Plant Workflows, Safety & Reliability Support: Review plant engineering scenarios involving production workflows, turnaround plans, process changes, operating procedures, and technical documentation

Evaluate PHA, HAZOP, OSHA PSM, safety review materials, and process risk documentation against defined requirements

Support structured review of plant operations, process safety workflows, hazard analysis materials, and engineering control documentation

Prepare clear written explanations for chemical engineering decisions based on source materials and verifiable technical criteria

EH&S, Sustainability & Process Documentation: Review EH&S scenarios involving emissions compliance, sustainability engineering, environmental documentation, product development, and process-industry reporting

Evaluate technical documents connected to chemical, petrochemical, specialty materials, R&D, product development, and process engineering workflows

Support structured review of materials connected to Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Aspen Plus, CHEMKIN, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or similar systems

Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work

Ideal Profile
Strong candidates may have:

3+ years of experience in chemical engineering, process engineering, plant engineering, process design, process simulation, scale-up, process safety, EH&S, sustainability engineering, R&D, product development, or related process-industry roles

Experience in chemical, petrochemical, specialty materials, energy, industrial manufacturing, EPC, or process-heavy engineering environments

Background in one or more areas such as process design, process simulation, plant workflows, operations engineering, turnaround planning, PHA, HAZOP, OSHA PSM, product development, emissions compliance, or sustainability engineering

Familiarity with tools such as Aspen Plus, CHEMKIN, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, or similar process engineering systems

Comfort reading and preparing engineering artifacts such as process flow diagrams, P&IDs, PHA/HAZOP reports, mass and energy balance models, turnaround plans, OSHA PSM documentation, technical reports, and workflow summaries

Strong analytical thinking and written communication skills

Ability to translate chemical process workflows into clear, structured task documentation

Educational Background

Bachelor's, master's, or PhD degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, materials engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering, chemistry, or a related technical field is helpful

Equivalent practical experience in chemical process engineering, plant workflows, process safety, R&D, scale-up, or EH&S documentation is also highly relevant

Nice to Have

Experience at a chemical, petrochemical, specialty materials, energy, industrial manufacturing, or major engineering/EPC organization

Familiarity with PHA, HAZOP, OSHA PSM, mass and energy balances, process simulation, turnaround planning, emissions compliance, sustainability engineering, or plant documentation

Experience preparing or reviewing process flow diagrams, P&IDs, simulation outputs, safety documentation, process reports, plant procedures, or technical workspaces

PE license, process safety training, Six Sigma, Lean, EH&S, sustainability, or chemical engineering certifications are helpful

Strong attention to detail in technical, safety-sensitive, and documentation-heavy process environments
