​TGRC is proud to partner with a UK-based applied science and advanced engineering company at the forefront of industrial innovation. Leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach across the automotive, aerospace, and chemical sectors, the firm is driving sustainability by enabling manufacturers to integrate carbon-derived silica while significantly cutting emissions.

Our client is seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Process Engineer to join the team, contributing to the design, optimization, and scale-up of our cutting-edge carbon conversion technologies. This position offers a highly interdisciplinary scope, blending process simulation, plant design, hands-on troubleshooting, and innovative problem-solving to drive impactful results.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, optimize, and troubleshoot chemical processes to enhance efficiency, safety, and scalability.

• Utilize process simulation tools (e.g., Aspen Plus or equivalent) for comprehensive plant modeling and process optimization.

• Incorporate safety, reliability, and environmental best practices throughout all phases of process design and implementation.

• Lead and support scale-up initiatives from laboratory through pilot to full industrial scale.

• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to develop and deliver innovative process solutions.

• Oversee project timelines, resources, and documentation to ensure successful process development execution.

• Interpret and analyze process data, identify root causes of issues, and implement effective process improvements.

• Maintain precise documentation of process designs, operating procedures, and project deliverables.

Required Experience:

• Master’s degree (MSc) in Chemical Engineering or a closely related field with a minimum of 2 years of industrial experience, or a PhD with at least 1 year of industrial experience or 2 years of postdoctoral research.

• Strong knowledge of process thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, hydrodynamics, and the dynamic behavior of unit operations.

• Proficient in process simulation software such as Aspen Plus (or equivalent).

• Proven experience in process optimization, troubleshooting, and project management.

• Solid understanding of safety, reliability, and environmental standards within chemical process engineering.

Preferred Experience:

• PhD in Chemical or Process Engineering, ideally with hands-on experience in process design, optimization, or plant operations.

• Experience with automation systems and process control technologies.

• Knowledge of technology transfer and scale-up from laboratory to industrial environments.

• Demonstrated involvement in sustainability projects and experience working in multidisciplinary teams.
