Process Control Engineer

at  Paebbl

Join Paebbl, a founder-led start-up in the burgeoning field of climate technology and the emerging “carbon economy”. Our mission is to permanently sequester CO2 and repurpose it into essential products. Inspired by natural CO2 mineralization, our technology accelerates this process by a factor of a million and is now ready for scale-up. We are backed by supportive, long-term oriented institutional and private investors, and our team features a diverse group of experts from technology, industrial engineering, digital innovation, waste management, finance, and academia.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re seeking a Process Control Engineer who brings both technical expertise and a passion for innovation. Here’s what you’ll need to succeed in this role:

• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Automation, or a related field.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in process control engineering, ideally within industrial environments like manufacturing, chemical, or energy sectors.
• Technical Skills: Strong proficiency with DCS, PLC, and SCADA systems, and experience with advanced process control (APC) technologies. You should also be familiar with industrial communication protocols like OPC, Ethernet/IP, and Modbus.
• Problem-Solving Ability: You’ll need strong analytical skills to interpret complex data and implement solutions that optimize processes.
• Cybersecurity Awareness: Knowledge of cybersecurity standards and practices for industrial control systems is a must.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

As a Process Control Engineer, you’ll be responsible for creating and optimising control systems that drive efficiency, reliability, and safety across our operations. Here’s what you’ll be tackling in your new role:

• Design & Implementation of Control Systems: Develop and implement advanced process control strategies to enhance production, quality, and system reliability across our operations.
• Compliance with Open Process Automation Standards (OPAS): Leverage your knowledge of OPAS to design and deploy open, interoperable, and secure control systems. You’ll advocate for the adoption of OPAS standards to build flexible and modular control architectures that are future-ready.
• Process Optimisation: Dive into production data to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement. You’ll implement control solutions that drive better overall process performance and productivity.
• System Integration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to seamlessly integrate new process control systems with existing equipment. Your focus will be on interoperability, scalability, and ensuring our automation infrastructure is future-proof.
• Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Provide technical expertise to resolve process control issues quickly and effectively, minimising downtime. You’ll also play a key role in ensuring the reliability of our systems and their compliance with safety standards.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay ahead of the curve by exploring new automation technologies, process control innovations, and best practices to continuously improve the quality and capabilities of our control systems.
• Documentation & Training: Prepare comprehensive technical documentation and provide training to operations and maintenance teams, ensuring the safe and efficient use of control systems throughout the organisation.
