This is an exceptional opportunity for a self-motivated and results-oriented engineer who thrives in a remote work environment.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and optimize chemical processes for new and existing products, ensuring safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance.
• Utilize process simulation software (e.g., Aspen Plus, HYSYS) to model, analyze, and improve process performance.
• Conduct detailed process hazard analyses (PHAs) and implement recommendations to mitigate risks.
• Develop P&IDs, mass and energy balances, and equipment specifications.
• Troubleshoot process issues remotely, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
• Collaborate with R&D, manufacturing, and project engineering teams to support scale-up and implementation of new processes.
• Research and evaluate new technologies and methodologies to enhance process capabilities and sustainability.
• Develop and deliver technical training materials to operations personnel.
• Ensure all engineering activities comply with relevant industry standards, regulations, and company policies.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of operational excellence initiatives.
• Manage and mentor junior engineers in process design and troubleshooting techniques.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering.
• Minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in chemical process design, development, and optimization.
• Strong proficiency in process simulation software (Aspen Plus, HYSYS) and statistical analysis tools.
• In-depth knowledge of chemical engineering principles, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat/mass transfer.
• Experience with Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) methodologies like HAZOP.
• Excellent remote troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Proven ability to work independently and manage multiple projects effectively in a remote setting.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical information clearly.
• Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma principles is a plus.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly desirable.

This role demands a high degree of autonomy, technical acumen, and effective communication. If you are a seasoned chemical process engineer seeking a challenging and flexible remote career opportunity, we encourage you to apply.
