work closely with process chemists and control engineers to ensure the process plant is set up to provide maximum output levels and efficient running of the production facility
design plant and equipment configuration so that they can be readily adapted to suit the product range and the process technologies involved, taking environmental and economic aspects into account
set up scale-up and scale-down processes, including making appropriate changes, to equipment design and configuration
assess options for plant expansion or reconfiguration by developing and testing process simulation models
design, install and commission new production plants, including monitoring developments and troubleshooting
optimise production by analysing processes and compiling debottleneck studies
apply new technologies
research new products from trial through to commercialisation and improve product lines
ensure that potential safety issues related to the project operator, the environment, the process and the product are considered at all stages.
