Job description

One of the leading manufacturing companies is seeking a highly experienced and driven Chemical Engineer to join its team. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise, hands-on experience in manufacturing processes, and a proven ability to optimize production efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.

Key Responsibilities

1. Process Design & Optimization

• Develop and implement innovative chemical processes to improve product yield and reduce operational waste.
• Perform mass and energy balance calculations to optimize resource utilization.
• Scale up laboratory and pilot scale processes into full-scale industrial production.

2. Compliance & Regulatory Standards

• Ensure full adherence to local and international manufacturing regulations, including ISO standards and industry-specific certifications.
• Manage regulatory documentation, permits, and reports required by environmental and industrial governing bodies.
• Lead internal audits to verify that all chemical storage, handling, and disposal processes meet legal and corporate compliance benchmarks.

3. Rigorous Safety Management

• Conduct Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) and HAZOP studies to identify and mitigate risks within the manufacturing facility.
• Implement and enforce strict PPE protocols and emergency response procedures for the handling of hazardous materials.
• Design and oversee safety instrumentation systems, ensuring that fail-safes and pressure relief systems are maintained at 100% reliability.

4. Technical Leadership & Quality Control

• Supervise chemical production lines to ensure adherence to strict quality specifications and industry standards.
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues, providing root-cause analysis (RCA) for any deviations in safety or quality.
• Mentor junior engineers and technical staff, fostering a culture of technical excellence and a "safety-first" mindset.

5. Operational Efficiency & Sustainability

• Identify and execute cost-reduction strategies through raw material substitution or energy-saving technologies.
• Manage waste-treatment protocols, ensuring zero-harm discharge and promoting "green chemistry" initiatives where possible.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field.
• 8–10 years of relevant experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of chemical processes, process engineering, and plant operations.
• Hands-on experience with process optimization, troubleshooting, and safety management systems.
• Familiarity with industrial standards, environmental regulations, and quality control practices.
• Proficiency in process simulation tools and engineering software is an advantage.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong communication and leadership abilities.
