Position Overview


This is an exciting and unique opportunity to work around the world as part of a Field Operating Service (FOS) team, supported by technology experts from Honeywell UOP’s Technical Service Group. FOS advisors are on-site prior, during, and after the initial start-up of UOP technologies. They help to ensure that the technology and customer operators are ready for commissioning. Advisors are also involved in the test runs that demonstrate guarantees, they provide technical insight and assist customers in resolving engineering and operating issues.
UOP advisors may remain at a site for a few days to several months before moving to the next assignment. For each start-up, advisors may work with a number of UOP-licensed processes and a variety of individuals within and outside of UOP. The experience gained from each assignment, and the subsequent interaction with other UOP employees, provide a solid background for assessing and solving problems encountered in each situation in various locations around the world. As advisors gain experience, they have opportunities to advance to positions of increased accountability within the FOS organization.
MUST be able to commit to travelling international and domestically and reside onsite for long uninterrupted periods of time (Typical assignments are four to six months but one day to one year possible).
