In the ECP, the trainees will be exposed to a variety of functions including Engineering, Technical Service, and/ or Customer Training. Trainees will gain experience in one or more of UOP’s key refining and petrochemical technologies with a variety of activities that may include operating pilot plants, defining experiments, designing, troubleshooting and/ or servicing UOP process units, and performing other challenging assignments. Following this ECP training program, engineers will transfer to Field Operating Service (FOS). In FOS they will travel full time at least 5 years on assignments to multiple locations around the world supporting UOP customers in operating plants as a process or instrument advisor.
The objective of the ECP training is to develop knowledge, skills and abilities that will qualify the trainee to join our international Field Operating Services (FOS) organization as a Field Services Advisor. The Field Services organization consists of a group of international employees who provide worldwide startup and commissioning services to oil refineries and petrochemical plants. Field advisors provide field technical assistance on new and/or revamped refinery unit checkout and startups. They transfer technology to customers operations and engineering staff during loading, reload, regeneration, troubleshooting and new/revamped unit startup events. They advise customer operating personnel on the establishment and maintenance of the various process variables necessary to achieve safe and efficient operations.
