This is an exciting opportunity to join us and if you would like to be part of our journey, we would love to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to let us know about any additional support you may need.

Based on-site, you will primarily be responsible for supporting our operations by troubleshooting site processes and providing technical support for operational staff activities. You will also provide support to operational site management, as well as project implementation and development through process related understanding of existing plants and the associated impact of change.
The management of process data and the understanding of key process engineering deliverables are essential to this role.

You will be required to create, update, review, and check the following:

• heat and material balances
• process drawings (PFDs, P&IDs)
• hydraulic calculations
• overpressure protection reviews and relief sizing
• preliminary equipment process design and specification (tanks/pumps/compressors/heat exchangers/control valves/relief valves)
• preliminary control philosophy, such as initial set point definition
• SoL review, definition, and update
• hazardous area classification.

You will manage DSEAR safety rules for chemical process engineering at bioresource sites and provide oversight of improvement actions raised within plan engineering studies and audits.
Attendance and providing your technical advice at safety and design reviews will also be a key responsibility.
