Marcus Vance
Junior Chemical Engineer
Avenel Chemical Solutions
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Chemical Engineer position at Avenel Chemical Solutions. With a background in pilot-scale chemical operations, process simulation, and thermal system analysis, I welcome the opportunity to support your team in advancing efficient, safe chemical production workflows.
In my current position as a Junior Chemical Engineer at Hudson Process Technologies, I develop and update Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and process flow diagrams for pilot-scale specialty chemical synthesis. A key element of my work involves performing steady-state mass and energy balance calculations using Aspen Plus, through which I optimized heat-exchanger train duty by 14%. Additionally, I supervise daily batch reactor sampling and monitor analytical chromatography results against standard operating procedures to verify operational consistency.
Process safety and regulatory rigor are integral to my engineering practice. At Hudson Process Technologies, I assist senior engineers in hazard and operability (HAZOP) reviews for new solvent recovery systems, compiling detailed action item logs and safety documentation. Combined with hands-on experience calibrating pilot skid sensors during my internship at Vanguard Materials Lab and my Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) certification, I am well prepared to contribute disciplined technical support to your continuous and batch processing initiatives.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my simulation experience and operational background align with the goals of Avenel Chemical Solutions. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marcus Vance
