Collaborate closely with other departments, participate in site surveys, pre-commissioning, and plant start-ups, and address health, safety, and environmental issues. The role also involves supporting process design, R&D, and sales activities. Join us as we enable the creation of quality food, feed, and biofuel, contributing to a better future for all and upcoming interesting projects in the Oleochemical Department.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Assist in executing engineering projects by producing essential documents such as basic process flow diagrams (PFDs), equipment sizing and specifications, heat and mass balances, utilities and consumptions, P&IDs, operating manuals, automation descriptions, and HAZOP studies. You will work closely with the Process Department Head of Department (HOD) and maintain frequent contact with other departments, customers, and suppliers.

Cooperate with the reporting line for project execution planning.

Be part of a team responsible for all technical and process-related matters in our Oleochemical Department.

Develop chemical process simulations using company-provided software.

Participate in site surveys, pre-commissioning, and plant start-ups, and carry out troubleshooting on-site, producing detailed reports.

Be present on-site for start-ups or troubleshooting at customer installations, gathering valuable feedback from industrial practice to extend our process know-how and continuously improve our product lines.

Address health, safety, and environmental issues.

Support Desmet in process design for any company technologies, R&D, standardization processes, and sales activities.

Why Join Us?

The DMY Oleochemical Department is currently managing a significant workload, with a list of critical projects in DMY and other affiliate offices requiring basic engineering design. Many of these projects may occur simultaneously, creating a sudden need for additional resources. In 2025, DMY will also execute commissioning activities for two major Fatty Acid Complexes, which may require support from the Oleo Team.

Given these demands, we believe it is crucial to start the search for an additional Senior Process Engineer now. This proactive approach allows us to conduct a thorough search and avoid last‑minute compromises on candidate quality due to urgency. We have the luxury of time at this moment, and we intend to use it wisely for proper research.

REQUIRED PROFILE

• Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience in the Oleochemical industry, or alternatively, in the Oil & Gas sector.
• Knowledge of Chemical Simulation Software such as Chemcad, EDR, and HTRI (while important, proficiency in these is not a strict requirement).
• Strong understanding of basic engineering calculations, including but not limited to line sizing, safety valve sizing, exchanger sizing, and pump sizing.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Knowledge of AutoCAD is considered an added advantage.
• Excellent teamwork skills, a commitment to continuous learning, strong interpersonal skills, and a positive attitude.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in the engineering field (flexibility on this requirement is possible for exceptional candidates).
• Site experience during plant mechanical checks, pre-commissioning, start-up, and fine‑tuning.
