- What-if and scenario analysis
- Operator training simulators (OTS)
- Control System Checkout
- Digital Twins
- Performance analysis and troubleshooting
- Prepare and review technical specifications, manuals, reports, and vendor documents.
- Assist with process model development by translating engineering documents, feasibility reports, test data, pilot results, or operating data into process models.
- Contribute to techno-economic evaluations (TEA), including process design assumptions,



modeling input, and cost drivers.
- Support process audits, HAZOP analysis, debottlenecking studies, and optimization initiatives to improve CAPEX/OPEX planning, engineering verification, commissioning, operator training, and plant startup.
- Provide technical support to the sales organization during customer meetings and detailed proposals.
- Participate in technical discussions with customers, internal product groups, and suppliers.
- Present modeling results and technical findings in a clear, structured manner to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Identify technical risks, scope changes, and improvement opportunities in support of project management and business development.
