Process Engineer

Role Definition

Coordinates daily technical support and short-term technical improvement in support of SQLCST. Responsible for optimizing and designing processes to improve efficiency, safety, and product quality sustainably by analyzing production workflows, identify bottlenecks, and implement technical solutions to reduce costs and enhance throughput. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, they ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations while driving continuous improvement initiatives.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (or equivalent knowledge/qualification).

Responsibilities

• Provides technical direction to the production department on a daily basis by general “trouble shooting”, monitoring process efficiency and product quality and identifying process improvements.


• Takes the responsibility for all aspects of production/process/metallurgical accounting - completing daily/weekly/monthly reports and interpreting data to identify improvement opportunities.


• Manages/coordinates improvements or small capital projects.


• Sound knowledge of mass balancing and reconciliation processes


• Responsible for rigorous maintenance and management of production data and databases.


• Identifies any anomalies with the operation and maintenance of process control instrumentation and coordinates remedies as required.


•  Competent in data recording, trending, analysis, and interpretation - focuses on improving all OEE levers.

Core Competencies & Technical Skills:

• Chemical & Production Engineering: Sound knowledge of chemical processing principles, mass balancing, reconciliation processes, and utilizing technical/analytical tools in engineering studies.


• Process Design & Equipment: Understanding of process equipment selection, PFDs, P&IDs, heat & material balance calculations, and operational startup/shutdown procedures.


• Statistical Process Control (SPC): Competent in data recording, trending, analysis, interpretation, and using SPC software to optimize OEE levers.


• Process Safety Management (PSM): Knowledge of process safety information, participating in Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), and managing Management of Change (MOC) requests.


• Operations Change Control: Ability to evaluate, plan, and manage equipment/technology changes within operational environments while assessing potential risks.


• Incident & Accident Investigation: Knowledge of investigation tools, root-cause analysis, and recommending corrective safety actions.


• Data & Project Management: Hands-on experience in production database management, troubleshooting operational anomalies, and assisting in small capital project planning (Gantt charts, scheduling, and tracking).
