Plan and deliver CFD analysis for engineering projects, technology development and R&D, focusing on multiphase fluid flow.
Model separation and produced-water equipment, including vessel internals, flow distribution, residence time, pressure loss and separation performance.
Select appropriate physical models, boundary conditions, mesh strategies and convergence criteria for technically sound analyses.
Evaluate the quality, sensitivity and limitations of simulation results and translate findings into practical engineering recommendations.
Support equipment design, optimisation, performance verification and technical evidence for process guarantees.
Work with process, mechanical, design and project engineers to define analysis requirements and resolve technical challenges.
Prepare technical reports and present CFD findings to internal teams and external customers.
Manage assigned CFD activities and priorities, communicating technical and delivery risks in a timely manner.
Contribute to R&D, modelling-method improvements and comparisons between CFD predictions and pilot-scale physical testing.
Essential Qualifications
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical/Process Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Fluid Dynamics or a closely related engineering discipline.
Practical experience applying CFD to engineering projects, with strong fluid mechanics and numerical analysis fundamentals.
Hands-on experience using one or more recognised commercial CFD model, such as Siemens STAR-CCM+ or ANSYS Fluent
Good understanding of multiphase flow modelling and the ability to assess assumptions and numerical results critically.
Ability to independently plan and deliver CFD work, manage priorities and communicate practical technical recommendations.
Clear technical reporting and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience delivering complex CFD work independently; approximately three to four years of postgraduate experience is indicative, not a strict threshold.
Master’s degree, chartered engineer status or membership of an appropriate professional body.
Experience in separation or produced-water equipment, Lagrangian particle tracking, FEA, process guarantees, R&D or physical-test correlation.
