First round was a Hirevue with 5 questions, 30 seconds prep each. Three of them were about safety which makes sense for an energy company. Panel interview on Teams after that with two engineers asking STAR behavioral stuff and then some qs about heat exchangers and vapor pressures. Make sure you know their core values before you go in

Casual chat with two engineers. Talked about my third year lab. No technical theory. Got it

Pre-recordedBehavioralFast process
Know something about what Nutrien actually produces and why it matters or you'll sound like you just applied to fill a quota. Pre recorded video was roughly half video and half written questions, behavioral only for every one. Tell me about a project you worked on, a time you had to work in a team under pressure, what you know about the crop nutrient industry. Phone call follow up after was short, mostly availability and start date. About 2 weeks total from applying to hearing back, really fast
Questions Asked
1.“Explain what a HAZOP study is and why it's done during process design”

Screening call then team interview on Teams. Heavy behavioral and extracurriculars, no process questions. Three weeks of silence then rejection.
Questions Asked
1.“What's the difference between laminar and turbulent flow in a pipe and how do you determine which regime applies?”
2.“How do you approach process safety in an industrial or lab environment”

Technical with two prrocess engineers, thermo and heat exchanger stuff. They liked open ended thinking
Questions Asked
1.“Tell me about a time you identified a potential safety risk before it became a problem”
2.“Tell me about a lab or design project you're most proud of and what you learned”
