Role Summary

The ADVENT Engineering division of Trinity Consultants is seeking a versatile Process/Project Engineer with strong process fundamentals and the ability to support clients transitioning away from open‑top solvent‑based degreasing processes to more sustainable, compliant, and operationally robust solutions. This role blends hands‑on engineering, cross‑functional coordination, and client‑facing consulting—ideal for someone who can operate in both regulated (GMP) and industrial environments.

Key Responsibilities

Process Engineering (Industrial + GMP‑aligned)

• Perform end‑to‑end process engineering across feasibility, design, implementation, and qualification for solvent‑replacement and precision‑cleaning operations.
• Develop URS, process flow diagrams (PFDs), mass/energy balances, material compatibility analyses, and technology down‑selection for aqueous, alkaline, ultrasonic, or other solvent‑free systems.
• Evaluate process impacts on upstream/downstream steps, equipment utilization, production throughput, and product integrity.
• Author or review process documentation such as URS, risk assessments, functional specifications, commissioning/qualification‑ready inputs, and change‑control impacts.
• Support integration of new or modified equipment, including facility impact assessments, utilities, ventilation, controls, and workflow considerations.
• Lead or support vendor evaluations, equipment specification development, FAT/SAT, installation, and start‑up.

Design, Implementation & Field Execution

• Lead structured technology assessments using decision matrices grounded in process performance, materials compatibility, cost, and safety/environmental considerations.
• Coordinate with architectural/engineering partners to define and execute mechanical, electrical, controls, ventilation, and facility‑modification needs.
• Conduct pilot and bench trials, analyze results, and provide clear, data‑driven recommendations.

Safety, Compliance & Site Leadership

• Follow and reinforce client and Trinity safety expectations, including participation in JHA/JSA, ensuring PPE compliance, applying safe‑work practices, and using stop‑work authority when necessary.
• Promote a culture of safety, documentation accuracy, deviation awareness, and risk reduction.

Consulting, Communication & Client Stewardship

• Prepare clear, structured, client‑ready communication such as options analyses, engineering justifications, and risk/benefit assessments.
• Demonstrate Trinity core consulting competencies including quality ownership, client responsiveness, continuous improvement, collaboration, communication excellence, and problem solving.
• Contribute to early‑phase work such as scoping, estimating, and resource planning.
• Support ongoing client relationship development and act as a trusted technical advisor.

Required Qualifications

• B.S. in Chemical, Mechanical, Materials Engineering, or related discipline.
• 5–8+ years of process engineering…
