CSU Engineer ASU M/F

A CSU (Commissioning, Startup, and) Engineer for an Air Separation Unit (ASU) is a specialized process engineer. They are responsible for transitioning a newly constructed cryogenic plant from its mechanical completion into full, reliable, and safe commercial operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning: Inspect and test plant equipment (compressors, expanders, cold boxes, molecular sieves, and distillation columns) to ensure they meet engineering designs and safety standards.
• Plant Startup: Execute plant purges, pre‑cooling, liquefaction, and cryogenic distillation to reach specified product purities (e.g., 99.5% oxygen, nitrogen, and argon).
• Performance Testing: Conduct operational and turndown tests to ensure the unit achieves designed output, efficiency, and energy consumption guarantees.
• Troubleshooting: Resolve process bottlenecks, pressure drop issues, temperature anomalies, and equipment vibrations during early operations.
• Safety & HAZOP Compliance: Enforce strict industrial safety protocols (especially critical for high‑pressure pure oxygen systems) and participate in hazard and operability studies.
• Documentation & Handoff: Write detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), alarm response plans, and train the permanent operations team.

Qualifications

• Education: Degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a process‑related discipline.
• Experience: 15+ years of hands‑on operator or engineering experience with industrial gas facilities, specifically focusing on cryogenic ASUs and molecular sieve technologies (TSA).
• Core Competencies: Deep understanding of thermodynamics, gas compression, cryogenic distillation, and process control systems (DCS/SCADA).
• Safety Certifications: Relevant local safety credentials (e.g., Confined Space Entry, Fall Protection, WHMIS/OSHA equivalents).
