Job Description

full-time
Our client seeks an experienced and highly analytical Remote Senior Chemical Process Optimization Engineer to join their dynamic team. This is a fully remote position, allowing you to leverage your expertise from anywhere. You will be instrumental in driving efficiency, safety, and sustainability across various chemical manufacturing processes through in-depth analysis, simulation, and the implementation of advanced control strategies. Your primary responsibilities will include identifying bottlenecks, developing and testing process improvements, and utilizing sophisticated modeling software to predict outcomes and optimize plant operations. You will conduct thorough process hazard analyses, implement recommendations to mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with all relevant environmental and safety regulations. This role requires a strong understanding of chemical thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, and separation processes. You will be expected to work with large datasets, applying statistical analysis and machine learning techniques to uncover trends and insights for process improvement. Collaboration with plant engineers, R&D scientists, and operational teams will be crucial, requiring excellent communication skills to convey complex technical information effectively in a remote setting. You will design and execute virtual experiments and pilot studies, analyze results, and prepare detailed technical reports and presentations for stakeholders. The ability to develop and implement advanced process control (APC) schemes, including model predictive control (MPC), will be a significant advantage. You will also play a key role in the digital transformation initiatives of the company, exploring and integrating new technologies such as AI, IoT, and digital twins to enhance process monitoring and control. This position demands a proactive approach to problem-solving, a keen eye for detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement. The successful candidate will be a self-starter, capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously and working independently with minimal supervision. A deep understanding of process safety management (PSM) principles and best practices is essential. You will be responsible for developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for optimized processes and training relevant personnel virtually. The impact of your work will be significant, contributing to reduced operational costs, improved product quality, and enhanced environmental performance for our client's facilities. This role is based in **Ongata Rongai, Kajiado, KE**, but is entirely remote, offering unparalleled flexibility.
