The Role… In this role the Chemical Process Engineer IV will develop access routes to a target product to make it industrialized, by using the synthesis scheme developed in research or by modifying it in whole or part. They will also design, implement, and support serial production lines or components for these products. To do this the Chemical Process Engineer IV must optimize each stage of the process, starting from what has been done by R&D or by imagining other access routes while respecting precise quality criteria.

They must ensure industrial feasibility from the point of view of ease of access, reproducibility, hygiene and safety, the cost of access to raw materials, yields, control of effluence, all in compliance with environmental regulations and constraints.

The Chemical Engineer IV is at the heart of this process. They begin by dialoguing with researchers to define what we call the bases of industrialization: choice of reaction conditions (catalyst, temperature, pressure, selection of raw materials and solvents). Then follows the selection of the process diagram with its unit operations considering the kinetic and thermodynamic data. They decide whether to go through a piloting phase before moving on to the implementation engineering phase.

• Establish process IFD / PFD (Industrial / Process Flow Diagram), material and heat balances (enthalpy balance), define the nature of the materials to be used, identify the main equipment (reactor, heat exchangers, etc.) and define the instrumentation. P& (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) as well as the definition of the equipment (Specification Sheets), and everything that will be necessary for engineering to build the production tool meeting the requirements criteria of reliability, economy, safety and environment.
• Support personally or coordinate process engineering from mechanical or automation side. Lead technical discussion on automation, machine design and chemicals impact.
• Contribute to the calculation of the cost price of the manufactured product, an essential element in determining the profitability of a project based on the volume and amount of sales.

The chemical engineer focuses on the development of a process stabilized at the right level of KPI (Product cost, quality, efficiency).

• Work closely with other process engineer team members, mechanical PE or automation PE, to be able to lead design and deployment of new equipment or line:
  This will start at chemical make stage and will end at automatic filling, packaging.
• Work in collaboration upstream with the R&D teams and downstream with the process engineering team members, manufacturing engineers & production teams.
• Have in-depth knowledge of chemistry and maintain constant scientific monitoring.
• Possess strong records on designing, deploying, supporting automatic manufacturing / packaging lines.
• Demonstrate creativity, rigor, team spirit, ability to summarize, deep dive to give a clear summary of the result and analysis, and a desire to learn.
• Be the conductor of the industrialization process which consists of defining, building, starting and operating the industrial tool.
• Hold an engineering degree in chemical engineering with a minimum of 10 years experience in industrial process engineering in the chemical industry.
• Be available to travel internationally 20–25%.

• Collaborative entrepreneurial spirit
• Winning through customers
• High ethical standards, openness and trust
• Expectations for results
• Respect and value people
