Principal Facilities Engineer – bp
Join to apply for the Principal Facilities Engineer role at bp.
About Archaea bp is committed to investing in lower carbon energy so we can meet our ambition to reach net zero by 2050. And while we’re still mostly in oil and gas today, bioenergy is one of our five transition growth engines and a key focus to help us support the global energy transition.
Archaea Energy, a bp company, is a leader in landfill gas‑to‑energy and the largest renewable natural gas (RNG) producer in the US. With big ambitions, we specialize in the development, construction and operation of RNG, landfill‑gas‑to‑electric and dairy digester facilities. The team operates around 50 sites in 32 states with a robust development pipeline.
About The Role The Principal Facilities Engineer will be responsible for providing engineering support to operating the Assai Renewal Natural Gas (RNG) plant located in Throop, PA.
A key asset for Archaea Energy, this facility converts landfill gas, collected at the landfill, into pipeline‑quality natural gas (High Btu or Renewable Natural Gas). The facility processes the landfill gas by removing the majority of the non‑methane components—including CO₂, nitrogen, water, sulfur and volatile and non‑volatile organic compounds—to attain pipeline‑quality gas.
The support will range from plant optimization to small upgrade projects. This role will work closely with Operations and Maintenance personnel at the plant in support of achieving plant runtime and production KPIs. They will also work closely with in‑house Engineering teams and 3rd‑party Engineering Contractors to develop work‑pack deliverables for plant modifications. A key accountability will be maintaining and updating Process Safety Information for the plant.
The successful candidate must be able to report to the plant in Throop, PA at least 3 days per week. You must live near the site or be willing to relocate to report into the site to be considered for the role.
