Process Engineer

I am looking for a Process Engineer to join an exciting textile recycling start-up focused on converting nylon, polyester, elastane and others from polymers to monomers to decarbonize the textile industry.
 
What you’ll be doing?
 
As a process engineer, you will lead analysis and studies for pilot and plant designs using tools like ASPEN and Matlab, develop thermodynamic models, design PFDs and P&IDs, and size equipment for scaling up from pilot to pre-industrial plants. You’ll also plan and execute experiments to develop the process flow sheet and guide thermodynamic and kinetic experiments. Additionally, you’ll collaborate with the research team to optimize catalysts, reaction conditions, and purification processes, and lead interactions with external engineering partners for pilot plant design.
 
What experience you’ll need?
 
The ideal candidate will have a PhD or MSc in Process or Chemical Engineering, along with 3-5 years of experience in an industrial environment or engineering company, particularly in scaling chemical processes from lab to industrial scale. You should possess strong knowledge of industrial processes, expertise in process simulation using tools like ASPEN and Matlab, and experience in building flow sheets, PFDs, and P&IDs. Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills are also essential.
 
What You’ll Get in Return?
 
You will be based in Paris and be a critical team member for their growth over the next year.
