Technical Behavioral
It was overall easy, with basic process questions. They were looking for an understanding in all key areas of process, and also interdisciplinary knowledge. Knowledge of simulation and flare is a plus. Some practical application examples would have been helpful. Overall, it was an easy process.

Technical Coding
The interview process was described as good, very good, long, and short, but also lengthy. There wasn't a separate deviation list provided with the bid, but it was covered elsewhere. If it wasn't on the separate list, it wouldn't be considered, and it would be assumed that the SUPPLIER had no deviations to the Requisition and their bid was in full compliance with all requirements.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- The SUPPLIER is fully responsible for the equipment/package they supply, and they need to make sure it meets all the requirements in this requisition, works reliably, and meets the guarantee.
- If the SUPPLIER wants to point out any deviations or ask for clarifications about this requisition, they need to send them in on a separate sheet that's meant for that purpose.
- Deviations need to come with good technical reasons to back them up.
