Your new company
You’ll be joining a pioneering organisation dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies through innovative chemical process development. This company is committed to transforming materials and manufacturing practices to support a regenerative future. You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of science, engineering, and environmental impact.

Your new role This is a permanent role, based out of the company's site in London and requires a significant on-site presence.

• Identify and develop new process concepts using innovative materials, chemistries, and unit operations.
• Design and execute lab and kilo-lab scale experiments to validate process concepts.
• Optimise processes using experimental data and modelling tools to enhance safety, performance, and sustainability.
  
  Scale-Up & Project Execution:
• Support process design during Pre-FEED stages of capital projects.
• Guide the transition from bench-scale research to pilot and production-scale operations.
• Define and implement key scale-up parameters and performance metrics.
  
  Equipment Design, Procurement & Commissioning:
• Specify, design, and commission novel process equipment up to pilot scale.
• Collaborate with internal and external engineering teams to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions on time and within budget.
  
  Innovation, Flexibility & Digital Enablement:
• Integrate advanced technologies and digital tools to enhance process development.
• Adapt to a range of development activities, from exploratory research to plant-scale implementation.
• Demonstrate agility across structured and fast-paced R&D environments.
  
  Governance, Safety & Compliance:
• Uphold health and safety standards and best practices in laboratory and engineering settings.
• Conduct risk assessments and ensure compliance with regulatory and safety requirements.

What you'll need to succeed

• Bachelor’s degree / BEng (with higher degrees, eg MEng or DEng/PhD preferred) in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related subject – or equivalent experience
• Strong experience in chemical process development and design, particularly within capital project environments.
• Proven track record in scaling up processes and designing process equipment; with a preference for someone who’s helped integrate novel technologies.
• Proficiency in process simulation software (e.g., Aspen Plus or other modelling software).
• Strong understanding of unit operations such as mixing, heat transfer, filtration, and bioreactors.
• Adaptable, innovative, and collaborative with strong communication skills.
