We lead through our values centered around safety, integrity, courage, and making smart decisions which we execute with speed. We are seeking unique people who believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive and safe environment. We’re on the lookout for an experienced Process Engineer to improve the effectiveness of manufacturing processes and deliver on capital projects, by designing technical solutions for safe production, reduced waste generation, enhanced product quality and improved environmental compliance and sustainability. As a Process Engineer , you will be responsible for: Review production efficiencies to Safety, Health, Quality, Environmental&Energy targets and identify opportunities for process improvements, and recommend short and medium term solutions. Conduct detailed root cause analysis by gathering input from multiple sources including data acquisition platforms, alarm data, production operators, managers and technical reports. Ensure that documentation is updated and approved. Develop high level process scopes and designs based on the priorities defined in the Mill's projects list or as assigned by the Technical, Projects and Mill Managers. Ensure that engineering standards are met for all aspects. Provide process input into pre-feasibility studies with a focus on technical parameters and testing assumptions that are put forward by project teams. Participate in feasibility studies by developing draft processes and providing technical advice. Develop detailed process designs for specific processes in one or more parts of the production facility, including mass and energy balances, equipment sizing and selection, control philosophy development, risk assessments and other technical specifications to ensure process efficiency. Ensure that all Piping and Instrumentation Drawings, Process Flow Diagrams, Process Descriptions, Mass and Energy Balances, and Functional Design Specifications for the area are kept updated, published and communicated to all members of the multi-disciplinary team. Review and update product specifications for the area and ensure that it’s communicated to the plant personnel. Review and approve start-up and shut-down procedures, best operating practices and training manuals prepared by process technicians, and provide support to the production team on quality improments to process documentation. Lead process change management for the area, and provide support to other engineering disciplines. Create an understanding of environmental standards and engineer improvements with current and future environmental legislative requirements and sustainability goals in mind. Lead risk studies (Structured What If Technique – SWIFT, Hazard and Operability Study – HAZOP) for the manufacturing plants. Review detailed designs prepared by other process engineers from a technical feasibility and control effectiveness perspective. Provide input to colleagues on areas of improvement. Present own designs to colleagues for their input and review. Review longer term control strategies and advanced control opportunities. Ensure accuracy of plant measurements to mass and energy balances. Work with production teams to create simulations or test environments. Closely monitor the outcomes of the tests. Update process designs based on test results and obtain new approvals for updated processes. Determine the impact of the process changes on people (safety), environment, processes and systems in the manufacting plants. Develop actions to address the changes. Work closely with project managers to draw in support from other areas (for example Sappi Learning if there are training requirements). Work closely with project managers to scope out the change management actions, determine the stakeholders and contribute to the development of communication and training materials. Oversee the commissioning of new equipment or changed processes. Provide the subject matter expert input into the drafting of training material and work with learning teams to develop learner guides and assessments. Work with project managers throughout the implementation of the new processes to obtain feedback on successes and risks. Adjust process designs if required. Measure the outcome of the process changes to determine if the efficiency improvements have been achieved. What are we looking for? BSc, BEng or BTech degree in Chemical Engineering 3-5 years process improvement and projects implementation experience in a manufacturing environment Pulp and Paper experience would be adventageous What’s in it for you? Opportunity to work within a global organisation that continues to thrive in a rapidly changing world even after 80 years of existence Learning and development programmes Opportunities to travel (dependent on the role) Market-leading leave benefits Sappi is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
