Process Engineer

Process Development Engineer

The Role
We are seeking a Process Engineer with a Chemical Engineering background and hands-on experience in process development, plant build and scale-up to join an innovative clean technology business.

You will deliver small-scale engineering projects, develop and optimise manufacturing processes, and support the installation and commissioning of new equipment. Working within a growing business focused on developing sustainable technologies, you will help translate process concepts into practical solutions, improve production capabilities and establish robust engineering practices to support future scale-up.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimise manufacturing processes using sound chemical engineering principles.
• Produce process flow diagrams, P&IDs and equipment specifications.
• Develop process control strategies, instrumentation requirements and alarm systems.
• Deliver small-scale installations, process modifications and pilot projects from concept to completion.
• Identify process improvement opportunities and develop cost-benefit proposals.
• Support safe, efficient operations and implement good engineering practices.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to troubleshoot technical challenges and deliver engineering solutions.

Requirements

• Degree in Chemical Engineering.
• 3–10 years' experience in process engineering, ideally within R&D, pilot plants or early-stage manufacturing.
• Proven experience delivering process modifications and small-scale installations from concept through to implementation.
• Practical knowledge of process control and instrumentation.
• Familiarity with design of experiments (DoE), data analysis and interpretation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
