Industrialization Engineer – Wet Processes
Context for the Role Creation:
As part of the industrial development of a chemical process in aqueous media, the Industrialization Engineer supports the scale-up from small-scale prototypes to a complete and high-performance industrial line. The role sits at the intersection of process development, industrialization, supplier coordination, and technical project management.
Main Activities:
1. Process Development and Industrialization
- Lead the industrial scale-up of the process by proposing technical solutions that anticipate and prevent issues related to industrialization: equipment performance and reliability, process robustness, safety, environmental impact, and maintenance.
- Develop and integrate different technological modules to build a complete industrial line, ensuring that each step follows V-cycle principles (functional analysis, design, sizing, validation, testing, and commissioning) while incorporating safety rules, manufacturing and maintenance constraints, design standards, and regulatory compliance.
- Collaborate with the chemical process team to optimize small-scale prototype processes.
2. Technical Specifications and Supplier Coordination
- Draft technical specifications for equipment and associated systems (baths, utilities, control systems, instrumentation, etc.).
- Participate in risk analyses (HAZOP).
- Manage and challenge suppliers and equipment manufacturers on their technical proposals, trials, and on-site interventions.
- Monitor qualification tests with suppliers and contribute to performance validation.
3. Expertise and Technological Watch
- Contribute to technological and patent monitoring in the field of wet processes and industrial equipment.
- Identify and propose improvements to reduce the environmental impact of the process, particularly energy consumption and effluents generated by equipment.
4. Technical Project Management
- Plan and track the technical stages of projects, identify risks, and propose corrective actions.
- Ensure coordination between internal teams and external partners to secure project progress and successful delivery.
Your experience
Education & Experience
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in process engineering, chemical engineering, or a related field.
- 5–10 years of experience in process industrialization or scale-up, ideally in aqueous-phase chemical treatment (galvanization, medical cleaning, surface treatment of materials/metals, chemical etching, etc.).
Technical Skills
- Strong knowledge of process engineering and industrial scale-up.
- Experience writing technical specifications for industrial equipment and managing supplier interfaces.
- Proficiency in project management tools and ability to lead the technical stages of an industrial project following V-cycle principles.
- Ability to manage and coordinate subcontractors and suppliers, monitor their work, challenge technical solutions, and ensure compliance with requirements and timelines.
- Knowledge of mechanics, process sizing, fluid mechanics, materials, instrumentation, and automation/control systems to effectively communicate with experts.
- Proficiency with equipment development tools (CAD software, P&ID, etc.).
- Understanding of chemical effluent management.
Languages
- English level B2/C1.
- French level C1/C2
