Process Engineering Officer

Job purpose and role
The primary roles of the Process Engineering Officer are to:

• Design and fabricate jigs, workstations, semi-automated equipment and process-aids, as well as optimise existing equipment, with the overall goal of improving safety, efficiency, throughput times and quality.


• Identify opportunities for process improvements, then research, propose and implement appropriate solutions.


• Carry out technical sourcing to support project proposals, budgeting and implementation.


• Prepare and maintain documentation and instructions concerning engineered process solutions.


• Oversee and control commissioning and handover of new process equipment for production departments.


• Occasionally assist other team members with assigned process engineering projects, mainly in terms of CAD design and fabrication.


• Coordinate all project activities following established project management systems, in close collaboration with relevant departments and internal clients, and ensure KPIs are met.


• Maintain and develop a stock of hardware necessary for quick development of trial solutions.

The Process Engineering Officer, as part of the Process Engineering team, is expected to be able to work both independently and as part of a task force, depending on the nature of individual projects. This role, being mainly project-based, requires the Process Engineering Officer to self-start and work on his/her own initiative, ensuring delegated work is scheduled and completed on time. As part of a team handling a variety of tasks, it is expected that the Project Leader and other team members support each other by applying individual areas of expertise as required.
