About Process Engineering
Process engineering focuses on the design, operation and maintenance of chemical and material manufacturing processes. Process engineering and process engineers are found in a vast range of industries, such as the petrochemical, mineral processing, material, Information Technology, food and pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. Process engineering also involves developing new processes, project engineering and troubleshooting.
Process Engineers operate in either a consultancy or an operational capacity. Process Design Engineers (consultancy) provide design solutions for projects that, in the main, involve the flow of fluids. This can be petrochemical plants, nuclear power plants (relating to water coolers, chemical flow) and water treatment plants. Engineers working in an operational capacity will be responsible for managing and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the systems.
Process Engineers have a background in Chemical Engineering. Our clients look for experience in process design for highly regulated industries.
Qualifications can vary but generally the minimum requirement is a bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering. Ideally this will be from an accredited university such as UMIST. Many successful engineers have at least a Masters Degree and some have PHDs.
Employers place a great deal of emphasis on technical knowledge and interviewees can expect a rigorous technical interview.
