Reimagine What's Possible

The Advanced Systems Project Engineer is responsible for executing cryogenic and industrial gas delivery system projects from proposals through installation, startup, and commissioning at customer sites. This role is accountable for defining and delivering the project engineering scope and for ensuring systems are designed, installed, commissioned, and turned over safely, compliantly, on schedule, and within approved cost.

Projects include complex systems incorporating compression equipment and cryogenic pump systems, power and control systems, highpressure storage, vaporization, and pressure control. These systems support a wide range of applications, including petrochemical and refining operations, general manufacturing, fueling infrastructure, aerospace applications, and power generation facilities.

The Project Engineer works closely with the Commercial organization to support technical scope definition and budget development during the proposal phase, including participation in sales calls and technical discussions. This role ensures that both Air Products' commercial teams and the customer's technical representatives clearly understand the scope, capabilities, and limitations of the proposed equipment and systems.

During project execution, the Project Engineer leads and supports startup and commissioning activities, coordinating with Operations, field resources, and customer personnel to ensure systems perform as intended and meet contractual requirements. The role also interfaces with customers and crossfunctional internal teams, including Customer Engineering Maintenance and Product Engineering. In addition to core project responsibilities, the Project Engineer is expected to provide technical engineering support to the field maintenance organization for Advanced Systems installations and to support Product Engineering during project execution through application of standard designs, technical coordination, and project feedback.

At Air Products, we feed an inclusive culture where every voice is valued, and everyone belongs. We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
• 401(k) with immediate vesting of company match and core contributions
• Paid vacation, holidays, and sick time
• Paid parental leave and adoption assistance
• Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• Life Insurance and Supplemental AD&D
