About CRA
CRA designs and manufactures custom-engineered systems for
the Energy and Defence sectors. We deliver complex projects end-to-end,
entirely in-house, combining design, engineering, and manufacturing under one
roof. Our systems are trusted by leading organisations including BrahMos
Aerospace, ONGC, Indian Air Force, and Schlumberger.
Role Overview
You will own process design across CRA’s product lines:
flares, thermal oxidisers, H2S scrubbers, biogas cleaning and upgrading, and
gas compression systems. You will take designs from sizing through to
commissioning, and lead and develop the process engineering team.
Key Responsibilities
- Originate the design basis, heat and mass balance, PFD and
P&IDs for each project
- Size equipment, lines and relief devices, and prepare
process datasheets for equipment and instruments
- Carry out combustion, flare sizing and thermal radiation
calculations
- Write control
philosophies and cause and effect matrices, working with the E&I team
- Represent CRA in client HAZOP, SIL and design reviews, and
close out actions
- Support the applications team on sizing, performance
guarantees and technical clarifications
- Check mechanical and E&I deliverables against the
process design before release
- Support FAT, commissioning and performance tests, and
troubleshoot on site
- Develop calculation templates and standard P&IDs for
repeat products.
Requirements
- B.E./B.Tech in Chemical Engineering; Mechanical engineers with a strong
combustion background will be considered
- 10+ years in process design with an equipment manufacturer, package
vendor or EPC, including P&IDs and heat and mass balances you originated
- Design experience in at least one of: flares, thermal oxidisers or
incinerators, burners, biogas treatment and upgrading, gas compression and
conditioning
- Working knowledge of API 521, API 537 and ISA 5.1, and of burner
management requirements (NFPA 86, EN 746-2 or equivalent)
- HAZOP experience as the design owner
- Strong hand calculations; HYSYS or similar simulation an advantage
- Willing to travel
for FAT and site work.
This role
requires hands-on design origination. Experience limited to relief valve
sizing, simulation support or plant operations will not be sufficient.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation
- Medical insurance
- Learning and development support
- Clear career growth pathways
- Opportunity to
work on critical projects in energy and defence.
