Descripción del empleo

Solos' mission is to capture quality authentic aroma in dealcoholised beverages. Our technology allows aroma to be separated from alcohol so that it can be added back to the non-alcoholic product. It offers producers of dealcoholised beverages the aroma quality that consumers should rightly expect – naturally and authentically – no additions.

The Process Engineer will be responsible for the assessment, development, implementation and continued operation of both novel and established processing equipment in production environments. Particularly relevant are aroma extraction processes, which are applied to dealcoholized wines, beers and spirits.

This role involves developing efficient plant layouts, optimizing workflows, and ensuring seamless integration of new systems into established operations. The position combines technical expertise with project management and a deep understanding of industrial processes.

• Identify opportunities for process optimization and cost reduction while maintaining product quality and operational reliability.
• Plan, lead and support process development and validation R&D projects at laboratory-, pilot- and production-scale environments.
• Identify and drive the implementation of improvements to maximize throughput and efficiency.
• Provide on-site technical support and troubleshooting.

Knowledge and skills
