Job Description
Our client is seeking a highly experienced and innovative Principal Chemical Engineer to lead their process optimization initiatives in a fully remote capacity. This senior role is crucial for enhancing the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of chemical processes across various operations. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in chemical engineering principles, process design, simulation, and advanced troubleshooting, with a proven track record of driving significant improvements in industrial settings.
You will be responsible for analyzing complex chemical processes, identifying areas for optimization in terms of yield, energy consumption, waste reduction, and throughput. Utilizing advanced process simulation software (e.g., Aspen Plus, HYSYS) to model and evaluate potential improvements will be a core part of your work. Developing and implementing innovative solutions, including the design of new process equipment or modifications to existing systems, is essential. You will lead root cause analysis for process deviations and operational challenges, ensuring robust and sustainable corrective actions are implemented. Collaboration with plant operations teams, R&D, and safety personnel (remotely through detailed reporting and virtual collaboration) is vital for successful implementation. This role requires a strong understanding of process safety management (PSM) principles and environmental regulations. You will contribute to the development of technical strategies, provide expert guidance on process design standards, and mentor junior engineers. Strong project management skills are necessary to oversee optimization projects from conception through to successful completion, ensuring adherence to scope, budget, and timeline. This is an unparalleled opportunity for a leading chemical engineer to drive impactful, sustainable improvements within our client's operations, influencing processes in **Mombasa, Mombasa, KE**, and beyond, all from a remote work environment. We seek an exceptional analytical thinker and problem solver.
