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.

• 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 selecting the process diagram with its unit operations considering the kinetic and thermodynamic data. Deciding whether to go through a piloting phase before moving on to the implementation engineering phase.
• Establishing process IFD / PFD (Industrial / Process Flow Diagram), material and heat balances (enthalpy balance), defining the nature of the materials to be used, identifying the main equipment (reactor, heat exchangers, etc.) and defining the instrumentation. Producing P& specification sheets, and all that will be necessary for engineering to build the production tool meeting the requirements of reliability, economy, safety and environment.
• Supporting personally or coordinating process engineering from the mechanical or automation side. Leading technical discussion on automation, machine design and chemicals impact.
• Contributing to the calculation of the cost price of the manufactured product, an essential element in determining the profitability of a project based on volume and sales.

• Focus 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 or automation PE, to lead design and deployment of new equipment or line from chemical make stage to automatic filling and packaging.
• Collaborate upstream with R&D teams and downstream with process engineering, manufacturing engineers and production teams.
• Have in‑depth knowledge of chemistry and maintain constant scientific monitoring.
• Imagine and implement alternative solutions to achieve defined objectives.
• Strong record of designing, deploying and supporting automatic manufacturing / packaging lines.
• Demonstrate creativity, rigor, team spirit, ability to summarize, deep dive to give a clear summary and analysis, and a desire to learn.
• Conduct and oversee the entire industrialization process: defining, building, starting and operating the industrial tool.
• Engineering degree in chemical engineering with a minimum of 10 years experience in industrial process engineering in the chemical industry.
• Availability to travel internationally 20‑25 %.

The right candidate will be aligned to our values and culture:

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