JOB  SUMMARY

Key Responsibilities

– Design and develop detailed specifications for chemical process systems, including separation, heat transfer, reaction, and fluid handling operations, ensuring all designs meet engineering standards and project requirements
– Plan, implement, and oversee control systems for a range of chemical processes, including the storage and handling of solids, liquids, and gases
– Monitor the day-to-day operation and maintenance of plant equipment to maximise efficiency, minimise downtime, and ensure safe operating conditions are maintained at all times
– Diagnose technical malfunctions and process inefficiencies within chemical plant systems, and lead the implementation of remedial and corrective actions
– Verify that all materials, components, and equipment conform to relevant technical specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements
– Evaluate and improve product utilisation strategies, identifying opportunities to reduce waste, increase yield, and enhance overall process performance
– Lead and contribute to pollution control initiatives, assessing environmental impact and implementing sustainable engineering solutions in line with applicable legislation
– Collaborate with cross-functional teams including operations, maintenance, safety, and procurement to support the successful delivery of projects and plant improvements
– Conduct process modelling, simulation, and analysis to support design decisions, troubleshooting efforts, and capacity planning activities
– Prepare and review technical documentation including engineering reports, process flow diagrams, equipment specifications, and operating procedures
– Ensure all engineering activities are carried out in accordance with workplace health and safety (WHS) obligations and site-specific safety management systems
– Support the commissioning, testing, and validation of new or modified plant equipment and process systems

Required Qualifications & Skills

– Bachelor’s degree or higher in Chemical Engineering or a closely related discipline from a recognised Australian or overseas institution
– Eligibility for membership with Engineers Australia (EA), or current membership highly regarded
– Demonstrated experience in the design and operation of chemical process systems within an industrial or manufacturing environment
– Strong working knowledge of process control, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mass transfer, and reaction engineering
– Proficiency in engineering design and simulation tools such as Aspen HYSYS, MATLAB, or equivalent process modelling software
– Sound understanding of Australian and relevant international standards, codes of practice, and regulatory frameworks applicable to chemical plant operations
– Proven ability to diagnose complex plant malfunctions and develop practical, evidence-based solutions in a timely manner
– Solid understanding of workplace health and safety legislation, hazardous materials management, and risk assessment methodologies including HAZOP
– Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a meticulous attention to detail
– Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare clear technical documentation and liaise effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
– Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver outcomes within project timelines and budget constraints

Preferred Qualifications

– Postgraduate qualifications in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related field
– Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status with Engineers Australia
– Experience with pollution control systems, environmental compliance monitoring, or sustainability-focused process improvement
– Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma methodologies, or continuous improvement frameworks
– Experience working within regulated industries such as oil and gas, mining and minerals processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, or water treatment
– Knowledge of functional safety standards and safety instrumented systems (SIS)
– Previous experience in project engineering or a lead engineering capacity
