•2 & 1/2 years experience working in a chemical Engineer-In-Training role for Atkins•SILWE (Solid Intermediate Level Waste Encapsulation) project – Produced or reviewed several documents and drawings for this project including P&IDs, PFDs, Process Description, Mass Balance, Pressure Drop Pumping Calculations, Item Datasheets, Process Basis of Design and Equipment Schedules.•Responded to HAZOP comments to produce 'As Built' drawings for a nuclear enrichment plant. This has involved surveying the existing plant, discussing with plant operators and updating the P&IDs.•Flow Meter Replacement - Provided the specification for the replacement of a flow meter by performing an analysis of the system involved and completing pumping calculations for a proposed change in pipework.•Compressed Air - Carried out an investigation into a compressed air system. This required to determine the total demand of the system by finding all the usage points, totalling the air requirements for each and specifying the storage requirements for given outage times.•Process Engineering Support - Took on a role of providing general process engineering support to a Process Design Authority. This involved performing engineering tasks/investigations, checking calculations and providing insight to a variety of projects.•Project Management – Experience managing several projects, including secondments and a multi discipline project. Responsibilities included constructing bid letters, allocating hours to staff, managing project costs, constructing engineering change notes for further work, submitting invoices and producing monthly reports predicting future costs on projects.
