Chemical Engineer - Process/Production Engineering
- Process Engineer, GulfChem Refining (Houston, TX) | 2022-Present: Led troubleshooting for a distillation unit by adjusting reflux and steam rates; improved product purity and reduced energy use.
- Built Aspen HYSYS models for the crude preheat train and debutanizer; supported operations with weekly recommendations and updates based on lab results.
- Coordinated a small capex effort to replace pump seals and add VFDs on two service pumps; reduced downtime and improved safety compliance.
- Chemical Engineering Intern, BioSynth Materials | Summer 2021: Assisted with scale-up of a polymerization reactor from 5 L to 50 L, collected run data, and drafted SOPs for operators.
- B.S. Chemical Engineering, Texas A&M University | 2022 | GPA: 3.3; Senior design project: designed a hydrogen production unit and presented results to faculty.
- Skills: Aspen HYSYS, Excel/VBA, Minitab, PFD/P&ID interpretation, basic Python, Lean/Six Sigma (Green Belt), HAZOP participation.
Overview
- Add measurable outcomes (purity, energy, downtime, $ impact) and the baseline for each improvement.
- Clarify scope and ownership (what you led vs. supported) and include equipment/unit details.
- Tighten skills section by prioritizing role-relevant tools and indicating proficiency or proof (cert dates, usage).
Suggestions
Rewrite to include unit name, throughput/operating range, and quantified results. Example: "Troubleshot NGL debutanizer (35 kbpd) by optimizing reflux ratio and reboiler steam; increased C5+ purity from 97.8% to 99.2% and cut reboiler duty 6% (avg 30-day)."
Hiring managers want scale, technical levers, and measured impact; "improved" without numbers reads like routine monitoring rather than engineering contribution.

"Led troubleshooting for a distillation unit by adjusting reflux and steam rates; improved product purity and reduced energy use."
Specify what the model changed and how it was validated. Example: "Developed and calibrated Aspen HYSYS model (debutanizer + condenser) using 3 months of lab/composition data; delivered weekly setpoint recommendations that reduced off-spec events from X/month to Y/month."
Modeling bullets are stronger when they show validation method and operational decision impact; otherwise it can sound like an academic exercise.

"Built Aspen HYSYS models for the crude preheat train and debutanizer; supported operations with weekly recommendations..."
Add project size, timeline, and reliability/safety outcomes. Example: "Managed $85K seal upgrade + VFD install (2 pumps) from MOC through startup in 6 weeks; cut seal failures from 1/quarter to 0 in 9 months and reduced near-miss reports tied to leaks."
"Small capex" and "improved safety compliance" are vague; quantified reliability and a defined deliverable make the leadership and results credible.

"Coordinated a small capex effort to replace pump seals and add VFDs... reduced downtime and improved safety compliance."
Strengthen the scale-up bullet with objective process metrics and your specific deliverables. Example: "Supported 5 L to 50 L scale-up by executing DoE on initiator feed and agitation; improved conversion from X% to Y% and reduced batch cycle time by Z hours; authored 6 SOPs adopted by 12 operators."
Scale-up is highly relevant for chemical engineers, but without yield/quality/cycle-time metrics and your ownership, the impact is hard to judge.

"Assisted with scale-up of a polymerization reactor from 5 L to 50 L, collected run data, and drafted SOPs for operators."
Rework skills to show proficiency and remove ambiguous items. Example: "Aspen HYSYS (daily, 2+ yrs), Excel/VBA (dashboards, data cleaning), Minitab (SPC, regression), PFD/P&ID (MOC/field walkdowns), Python (pandas basics); Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, ASQ, 2023; HAZOP: 4 sessions."
Lists like "basic" and unverified credentials can be discounted; adding level, frequency, and proof makes the skills section more credible and role-aligned.
