About the Company
Help us decarbonize the construction industry — one biocement tile at a time. At Biomason, we grow high-performance, low-carbon biocement using the natural power of microorganisms.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Chemical Engineer to help translate our process science into stable manufacturing at our first-of-a-kind facility, and to support our scale-up toward commercial production. If you're a hands-on process engineer who thrives at the intersection of manufacturing, engineering, and greenfield project execution — this could be your next challenge.
Responsibilities
- Take process ownership of key unit operations, guidance of operators regarding new processes and support stable, efficient manufacturing. This also includes hands-on execution when needed.
- Monitor and improve process performance, identify deviations, lead root cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Define and track critical process parameters, operating ranges, KPIs, and process trends.
- Develop, maintain, and improve SOPs, work instructions, checklists, and technical documentation.
- Train and coach operators in process discipline, deviation response, and good manufacturing practice.
- Support process variability reduction, mass balance work, waste/by-product streams, and process improvement initiatives.
- Work with R&D and Tech Transfer to hands-on design, implementation and validation of new process versions in production.
- Subject matter expert in FEL3, detailed engineering, equipment specification, P&ID review, HAZOP, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and start-up activities for the commercial facility.
- Act as a technical bridge between EPC partners, engineering teams, and internal operations.
Qualifications
- A chemical engineer background.
- Solid experience in chemical engineering, process engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a similar industrial role.
- Strong plant-floor experience from industrial process operations.
- Experience with stage gated engineering processes (FEL/FEED and Detailed Engineering) and process equipment design.
- Fluency in English.
Required Skills
- Hands-on process engineering experience.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in biocement or similar industries.
- Knowledge of sustainability practices in manufacturing.
