Your new company
You'll be joining a pioneering organisation dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies through innovative chemical process development. This company is committed to transforming materials and manufacturing practices to support a regenerative future. You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of science, engineering, and environmental impact.
Your new role As a Process Development Engineer, you will lead the development, optimisation, and scale-up of novel chemical processes. This hands-on role spans from lab-scale experimentation to pilot and production-scale implementation. You will play a critical role in translating research into commercially viable operations, contributing to the design of new equipment, and integrating cutting-edge technologies into process workflows.This is a permanent role, based out of the company's site in London and requires a significant on-site presence.
Main ResponsibilitiesProcess & Technology Development:
- Identify and develop new process concepts using innovative materials, chemistries, and unit operations.
- Design and execute lab and kilo-lab scale experiments to validate process concepts.
- Optimise processes using experimental data and modelling tools to enhance safety, performance, and sustainability.
Scale-Up & Project Execution: - Support process design during Pre-FEED stages of capital projects.
- Guide the transition from bench-scale research to pilot and production-scale operations.
- Define and implement key scale-up parameters and performance metrics.
Equipment Design, Procurement & Commissioning: - Specify, design, and commission novel process equipment up to pilot scale.
- Collaborate with internal and external engineering teams to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions on time and within budget.
Innovation, Flexibility & Digital Enablement: - Integrate advanced technologies and digital tools to enhance process development.
- Adapt to a range of development activities, from exploratory research to plant-scale implementation.
- Demonstrate agility across structured and fast-paced R&D environments.
Governance, Safety & Compliance: - Uphold health and safety standards and best practices in laboratory and engineering settings.
- Conduct risk assessments and ensure compliance with regulatory and safety requirements.
What you'll need to succeed
- Bachelor's degree / BEng (with higher degrees, eg MEng or DEng/PhD preferred) in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related subject - or equivalent experience
- Strong experience in chemical process development and design, particularly within capital project environments.
- Proven track record in scaling up processes and designing process equipment; with a preference for someone who's helped integrate novel technologies.
- Proficiency in process simulation software (e.g., Aspen Plus or other modelling software).
- Strong understanding of unit operations such as mixing, heat transfer, filtration, and bioreactors.
- Adaptable, innovative, and collaborative with strong communication skills.
What you'll get in return
You'll have the chance to work within a close-knit, experienced team and make a real difference within a company that's looking to transform the sector and have a far-reaching impact on the global scale.You'll also get a number of progression and development opportunities and a good salary and benefits package.
