About the role
As a Process Engineer, your role involves driving continuous improvement by leveraging Process Intensification technologies including flow chemistry to reduce cost, reduce waste, and improve yield. You will assess and manage process risks arising from scale or process changes, providing technical support to Production for routine manufacturing activities. Additionally, you will be responsible for performing capacity analysis, identifying bottlenecks, and devising strategies for bottlenecking and capacity enhancement. Your key responsibilities will include: - Supporting the Plant in Change controls (Equipment change, Process change, Scale up, etc.) and investigations of OOS/OOT. - Studying the process and recycling of solvents, conducting experiments in PD Lab, generating data, proposing changes/modifications in recovery processes, and establishing recovery processes for new solvent streams to target improvement in solvent recovery. - Identifying new technologies, conducting feasibility studies for new technologies in alignment with Process requirements and scalable processes. - Coordinating with R&D for scale up, site transfer, process/technology improvement, and troubleshooting for cost reduction projects. - Being responsible for utility load and capacity calculations, line sizing, and designing for optimized usage of utility systems and achieving optimum capacity. - Preparing Capex Proposals (Concept notes, Savings/Payback calculations) for the purchase of new Process Intensification technologies, coordinating with cross-functional teams for purchase, installation, and commissioning related activities. - Applying lean manufacturing techniques and simulation tools, providing mentoring and training to the Process Engineering team across the API sites. - Improving Process safety by training plant personnel and working on safety improvement projects. As per the educational qualification requirement, you should hold a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering. With 15 to 18 years of experience in the field, you are expected to have a strong foundation and expertise to excel in this role.
