Process Engineer

The world's biggest breakthroughs often die in the gap between invention and implementation.
A breakthrough material that could decarbonise manufacturing.
A process that could secure critical mineral supply chains.
A chemical innovation that could transform energy storage.
On paper, they're flawless. In reality, most never make it past the lab bench. The leap from promising research to full-scale commercial production is where ambition meets hard reality — technical risk, economic feasibility, and the messy unpredictability of scaling up.
This team exists to close that gap.
They work at the intersection of science, engineering, and commercial strategy — taking first-of-a-kind technologies from whiteboards and prototypes to fully functioning pilot plants.
They stress-test processes, model economics, source equipment from around the world, and stand side-by-side with fabricators, installers, and commissioning crews to make sure everything works exactly as it should.
And they need a Process Engineer who thrives on that challenge.
Here, you'll design processes that have never existed before. You'll prepare and refine BFDs, PFDs, and P&IDs. You'll run material and energy balances, size equipment, and model production costs until the numbers make sense not just technically, but commercially.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the design of first-of-a-kind and pilot-scale systems, integrating scale-up considerations from the outset.
- Prepare engineering deliverables including block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, equipment lists, and preliminary layouts.
- Perform techno-economic evaluations, iterating mass and energy balances, sizing equipment, and estimating both capital and operating costs.
- Provide strategic input into go/no-go decisions using robust technical and commercial assessments.
- Manage procurement of process and mechanical equipment — locally and internationally — ensuring fit for purpose and on time delivery.
- Be the on-the-ground technical lead during fabrication, installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of lab and pilot-scale plants.
- Identify technical, commercial, and safety risks — and create mitigation strategies before they become roadblocks.
- Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and business strategists to build commercialisation roadmaps and advancement strategies for emerging technologies.
You'll be a great fit if you have:
- A research-based degree (Honours, Masters, PhD) in chemical engineering, or equivalent on-the-job expertise.
- At least 2 years' relevant experience in process engineering, ideally working on novel or first-of-a-kind systems. Though we're also open to more experienced profiles.
- Proven experience with techno-economic evaluations and cost estimation.
- Hands-on involvement in pilot plant or demonstration-scale design, build, and commissioning.
- Deep understanding of process design principles, risk-based decision-making, and scale-up challenges.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical detail for commercial audiences.
- The adaptability and resilience to work in environments where priorities shift quickly and the outcome is never guaranteed.
This is a rare chance to see your work go from concept to commercial reality — and to know that without your input, it might never have left the lab at all.
