Process Engineer Level II

Worley, a global firm in energy, chemicals and resources, is looking for a Process Engineer Level II to join its Abu Dhabi team. The role is full-time and onsite in ARE-AD-Abu Dhabi City, reporting to the Senior Manager, Process Engineer. The requisition code is ABU02FO. Worley describes its work as guiding projects through the full life cycle, from consulting and engineering to procurement and construction, with a view to sustainable solutions and value creation for clients.

This position suits individuals with a strong oil and gas background, including offshore and onshore experience, who enjoy cross-disciplinary collaboration and hands-on engineering delivery. If you’re comfortable being on site, travel to project locations, and contributing to complex process design work while keeping safety and quality front and center, you’ll likely feel at home here. Worley emphasizes a culture built on belonging, connection and innovation, and supports ongoing reskilling to align with today’s low-carbon energy future.

What a typical day looks like for a process engineer level II

In project teams you will help shape the scope, budget and schedule for process work, coordinating with other disciplines to keep projects on track and to implement necessary changes. You’ll drive the preparation of the process scope of work and work with supervising engineers to reach agreement, including estimating manhours using current norms and ensuring every piece of work is checked and approved before issue. You may also supervise process design tasks and monitor progress to stay within the budget and timeline.

When it comes to deliverables, you’ll gather data from multiple sources, run analyses, and assess technical options, presenting clear recommendations through formal project documents. You’ll contribute to studies, calculations and reports, and assist with detailed designs, drawings and data for procurement, construction and commissioning activities. Safety and quality are woven into every step, with adherence to established QA systems and a focus on implementing health, safety and environmental practices in the design process.

The job also requires you to apply a solid foundation in process engineering, including a grasp of onshore and offshore practices, a working knowledge of relevant codes and standards, and the ability to use discipline-specific software to model and size equipment, simulate processes and verify outcomes. You’ll work with discipline teams to ensure interfaces meet client requirements and that deliverables align with technical and regulatory expectations.

What you’ll need to bring to the role

• Eight or more years of process engineering experience in oil and gas for offshore and onshore projects
• At least five years of engineering experience in the same or a similar industry, including multi‑discipline projects; site experience is preferred and willingness to travel to site and operate in an on‑site support role is essential
• Strong process simulation capabilities for plant and pipeline work
• A full‑time bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from an accredited university
• MME engineering accreditation is mandatory; if not held, you must be willing to obtain it during probation
• Chartered Professional Engineer status or active pursuit is advantageous
• Solid HSE capabilities, with a track record of integrating health, safety and environmental practices into design
• Proficiency with relevant software and process‑discipline tools, including Aspen suite, HYSYS, Pipesys, FlareNet and PRO‑II
• Strong English communication skills, both written and spoken, and the ability to work well in diverse teams

• Knowledge of Shell DEP’s and API standards (API‑520, API‑521, API‑14C, API‑14E) and related regulatory requirements
• Understanding of onshore and offshore engineering practices applicable to process design for oil, gas, refinery or petrochemical facilities
• Ability to apply process discipline know‑how in multi‑discipline settings and to deliver solutions even when tasks run out of sequence
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build constructive relationships across the organization
• Analytical mindset with the habit of thorough data analysis, problem solving and decision making
• Integrity and adherence to ethical standards in all technical and team interactions
• Willingness to work across multiple projects of varying size and complexity, and to share knowledge with teams

Compensation, benefits and logistics

Details on salary are not disclosed in the posting, and the position requires site travel as part of the responsibilities.

Key practical elements include working in an on-site capacity in Abu Dhabi, with travel to client sites as needed. The posting date is October 10, 2026, and the unposting date is January 8, 2027, with the role reporting to a Senior Manager, Process Engineer.

Tips to stand out in this application

Lead your resume with your oil and gas process engineering track record, especially eight years of experience on offshore and onshore projects, and your experience collaborating across disciplines. If you have site experience and travel willingness, call it out early and connect it to specific projects where you supported operation teams or commissioning activities.

Back up your must‑have skills with concrete evidence. Show instances where you modeled processes or sized equipment using Aspen/HYSYS/Pipesys/FlareNet/PRO‑II, and point to projects where you applied Shell DEP or API standards and integrated HSE considerations into the design. Include a brief note on obtaining or pursuing MME accreditation and any progress toward CPEng status.

Prepare to discuss how you’ve managed scope, budget and schedules, including change control and quality assurance. Have a concise story ready about coordinating with other disciplines to meet client requirements and how you’ve ensured deliverables were reviewed and approved before issue.

When you’re in the interview, ask about Worley’s approach to integrating multi‑discipline teams on offshore/onshore projects, and how they support engineers pursuing accreditation and ongoing professional development. A good question to end with could be: how does the team balance site travel with project milestones, and what training or resources are available to help me stay current with API standards and process safety practices?
