Process Development Engineer

New Today

Your newpany
You’ll be joining a pioneering organisation dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies through innovative chemical process development. Thispany ismitted 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 As a Process Development Engineer, you will lead the development, optimisation, and scale-up of novel chemical processes. This hands-on role spans from lab-scale experimentation to pilot and production-scale implementation. You will play a critical role in translating research intomercially viable operations, contributing to the design of new equipment, and integrating cutting-edge technologies into process workflows.This is a permanent role, based out of thepany's site in London and requires a significant on-site presence.

Main ResponsibilitiesProcess & Technology Development:
  • 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 &missioning:
  • Specify, design, andmission 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.
  • Uphold health and safety standards and best practices in laboratory and engineering settings.
  • Conduct risk assessments and ensurepliance 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 (, Aspen Plus or other modelling software).
  • Strong understanding of unit operations such as mixing, heat transfer, filtration, and bioreactors.
  • Adaptable, innovative, and collaborative with strongmunication skills.


    • What you'll get in return
    You’ll have the chance to work within a close-knit, experienced team and make a real difference within apany that’s looking to transform the sector and have a far-reaching impact on the global scale.You’ll also get a number of progression and development opportunities and a good salary and benefits package.
