Matthew Farquhar Email & Phone Number

As a process engineer and project manager, I develop and implement engineering solutions that enhance efficiency, prioritize safety, and support critical business goals. My work centers around designing and refining processes to bring tangible improvements to operations and managing all phases of large-scale, cross-functional CAPEX projects, including scoping, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and startup.I enjoy creating and improving processes for chemical processing units, designing and experimenting with various options to achieve optimal results. My expertise spans process safety engineering with extensive experience in process safety management (PSM), process hazard analysis (PHA) facilitation, and facility siting studies, always ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.Project management appeals to my creative, problem-solving side, as I guide teams in building solutions from concept to execution. Known as a natural leader, I am also innovative in approach, often anticipating and mitigating issues before they escalate. My ability to see technical details and the larger picture allows me to balance engineering precision with strategic project oversight, making me the go-to for addressing challenges.With a proactive approach to risk management and stakeholder engagement, I facilitate smooth, successful project completion. For example, during a critical project entailing redesign and construction of a distillation system, I identified excessively high risks early on and led a facility siting analysis to mitigate them. By advocating for acquisition of surrounding land, I was able to position processes further from occupied structures, enhancing safety and regulatory compliance, thereby reducing risks while meeting timelines and maintaining stakeholder confidence throughout project lifecycle. I hold a Master’s degree and a Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Wayne State University. My technical expertise spans a range of software, including PHAWorks, CHEMCAD, AutoCAD, VBA, MS Project, and MS Office.I am exploring new opportunities as a process safety engineer, process engineer, or project manager where I can leverage my expertise in engineering and leadership to deliver meaningful results.Let’s connect!
