Process Engineer (FMCG)

• Long-term project opportunity with a stable engineering environment
• Competitive hourly compensation with limited flexibility
• Exposure to complex FMCG process engineering projects
• Opportunity to work across concepts, FEED, detailed design, commissioning, and handover phases
• Potential project-based travel within the United States or Europe
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary and multinational engineering teams

• Plan, supervise, and manage process engineering activities throughout all project phases, including concept, FEED, detailed design, commissioning, and handover.
• Develop project design basis documents and prepare deliverables such as process flow diagrams, heat and mass balance diagrams, P&IDs, valve lists, line lists, and equipment data sheets.
• Coordinate with process, mechanical, instrumentation, operations, and process safety teams to support timely design completion.
• Select hygienic process equipment, including sanitary pumps, diaphragm valves, mix-proof valves, butterfly valves, heat exchangers, mixing vessels, and storage vessels.
• Design hygienic systems with proper drainability, dead-leg-free piping, smooth surface finishes, effective spray-ball coverage, and minimal contamination risks.
• Perform hydraulic calculations, pump selection and sizing, line sizing, valve sizing, and piping material selection.
• Support installation qualification and operational qualification activities for tanks, pumps, compressors, chillers, reactors, pressure relief valves, cyclones, degassers, mixers, and heat exchangers.
• Participate in 3D model reviews to verify compliance with process and system design requirements.
• Coordinate with research and development teams to obtain simulation data, process inputs, and technical requirements.
• Evaluate technical bids, review vendor drawings, and participate in factory acceptance testing.
• Review construction quality for process equipment and piping against approved engineering designs.
• Support the development and continuous improvement of departmental procedures, workflows, and engineering standards.
• Travel within the United States or Europe when required by project needs.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering.
• 5 to 8 years of relevant process engineering experience in FMCG, consumer products, food, beauty, or related manufacturing environments.
• Strong knowledge of hygienic and clean process design.
• Experience with non-Newtonian fluid calculations, hydraulic calculations, and line sizing.
• Experience designing mixing tanks, storage tanks, heat exchangers, and CIP/SIP systems.
• Familiarity with process simulation and hydraulic modeling tools such as UniSim and AFT Fathom.
• Knowledge of ASME BPE, 3-A Sanitary Standards, EHEDG, ASME B31.3, and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Sections I and VIII.
• Experience participating in process safety studies, including HAZOP and SIL assessments.
• Strong analytical, technical communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently in a self-driven and professional manner.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary and multinational teams.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to adapt to a fast-paced project environment.

• Aspen HYSYS or similar chemical process simulation software
• AFT Fathom for hydraulic system modeling
