PROCESS ENGINEER COOP

JOB SUMMARY

The Process Engineering Co-op will be work closely with the Process Engineering Discipline at DPS in the effort to provide our clients with the process engineering designs for a variety of life-science projects.

DPS is a global consulting, engineering and construction management company, serving high-tech industries around the world. We have industry experts in key locations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the US, bringing world-class resources and the latest innovative technologies to every project. In New England, DPS primary focus is on Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Validation related to designing and building of life-science manufacturing facilities. The Process Engineering Discipline works closely with our clients to define their process, capture the key elements in design documents like process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs), and developing equipment specifications and 3D piping diagrams for the procurement and construction phases of the project.

The Process Engineering Co-op will be delegated tasks of increasing responsibility during the six month assignment. Early tasks may have some administrative or training basis, but all will help the Co-op to understand the process by which a client’s goals are realized into a final design that is constructible and functional. This Co-op assignment will also utilize a rotation of learning in the other disciplines of the design phase (Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing/Fire-protection, Instrument & Controls, Quality) as well as the Project Management, Construction, and Commissioning/Qualification/Validation (CQV) departments.
