Principal Process Engineer

Principal Process Engineer focuses on strong background in process design, simulation, and scale-up (e.g., aspen, hysys, or similar tools).

What the role involves

• Strong background in process design, simulation, and scale-up (e.g., Aspen, HYSYS, or similar tools).
• Leading the process engineering function for scaling our core clean energy technology from pilot to commercial scale.
• Own process design activities, including simulations, mass and energy balances, and development of PFDs and P&IDs.
• Driving technology scale-up strategy, including defining scale-up methodology, de-risking plans, and validation activities.
• Act as the technical lead for equipment selection, specification, and integration into the overall process design.
• Ensure processes meet performance, reliability, safety, and operability requirements.

Skills and requirements

• Degree in Chemical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in process engineering within clean energy, chemicals, petrochemicals, refining, or oil & gas.
• Solid experience with process safety, including HAZOP, LOPA, and industrial safety standards.
• Demonstrated technical leadership, with experience guiding and mentoring other engineers.

Candidate fit

• technical judgement, safe working habits, careful diagnostics, and practical problem-solving

Additional role context

• Proven track record of taking processes from concept and pilot scale through to commercial-scale deployment.
• Familiarity with equipment design, vendor engagement, and EPC interfaces.
