Take Ownership of Process Design

• Lead project-level process engineering design efforts for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other specialized manufacturing facilities.

• Develop process calculations, equipment sizing, material and energy balances, and engineering solutions using principles of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.

• Prepare and review process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications, and technical documentation.

• Develop construction documents, drawings, reports, and specifications using engineering design tools such as AutoCAD, Plant 3D, and Revit.

• Evaluate process equipment, piping systems, utilities, and control requirements to support safe, efficient, and reliable operations.

• Review technical calculations, designs, construction submittals, shop drawings, and requests for information (RFIs).

• Conduct facility evaluations, engineering studies, and process assessments to identify challenges and recommend improvements.

• Apply applicable codes, permitting requirements, and industry standards, including GMP, FDA, and ISPE guidelines, throughout the design process.

Collaborate to Deliver Complex Projects

• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, automation, architectural, and other engineering disciplines to develop coordinated process solutions.

• Lead process discipline coordination, helping teams resolve technical challenges and maintain design quality.

• Support project planning through scope development, fee calculations, technical documentation, and coordination of engineering deliverables.

• Manage assigned design responsibilities, schedules, and priorities to support successful project delivery.

• Communicate technical recommendations clearly to project teams, clients, equipment vendors, and contractors.

• Provide engineering support during construction, commissioning, qualification, and validation (CQV) activities.

• Build trusted client relationships by understanding operational needs and developing practical, technically sound solutions.

Guide and Develop Other Engineers

• Provide technical direction to junior engineers, designers, and technicians throughout the design process.

• Review engineering calculations, drawings, and technical documents, offering constructive feedback and helping maintain high-quality deliverables.

• Share your technical knowledge and help developing engineers strengthen their design skills, engineering judgment, and problem-solving abilities.

• Encourage collaboration, accountability, and open communication across project teams.
