Resumo da oferta

Alten seeks a highly qualified Chemical Engineer with around 5 years of experience in chemical and physico-chemical processes for water treatment. The role focuses on process design, chemical dosing, and optimization for industrial and infrastructure-scale systems.

You will develop PFDs/P&IDs, model mass transfer and kinetics, and support commissioning across international projects. English fluency and strong communication are essential for success.

Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering is strictly required.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in water treatment.
• Strong knowledge in coagulation-flocculation chemistry and disinfection mechanisms.
• Experience with process simulation tools (Aspen, HYSYS) and AutoCAD or similar for diagrams.

Responsabilidades

• Design and optimize water treatment processes involving coagulation, flocculation, filtration, disinfection, and chemical dosing.
• Analyze raw water and treated water characteristics to determine effective chemical treatments.
• Develop and review PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and chemical consumption estimates.
• Model and simulate mass transfer, reaction kinetics, and solid-liquid separation phenomena in water processes.
• Select and specify chemical reagents for clarification, oxidation, neutralization, and scaling prevention.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams during basic and detailed engineering stages.
• Provide remote or on-site technical support during commissioning or troubleshooting of chemical systems.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are seeking a highly qualified Chemical Engineer with a solid academic and practical foundation in chemical process engineering and water treatment technologies. The ideal candidate will have approximately 5 years of experience and a deep understanding of coagulation-flocculation chemistry, disinfection mechanisms, and the physico-chemical principles governing water purification. This role requires hands-on involvement in process design, chemical treatment strategies, and project execution for industrial and infrastructure-scale water treatment systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and optimize water treatment processes involving coagulation, flocculation, filtration, disinfection, and chemical dosing.
• Analyze and interpret raw water and treated water characteristics to determine the most effective chemical treatment methods.
• Develop and review PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and chemical consumption estimates.
• Model and simulate mass transfer, chemical reaction kinetics, and solid-liquid separation phenomena in water processes.
• Select and specify chemical reagents for clarification, oxidation, neutralization, and scaling prevention.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams during basic and detailed engineering stages.
• Provide remote or on-site technical support during commissioning or troubleshooting of chemical systems.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering (strictly required).
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in water treatment, with strong focus on chemical and physico-chemical processes.
• Demonstrated knowledge in:
• Flocculation and coagulation chemistry
• Disinfection mechanisms (e.G., chlorine, ozone, UV)
• Scaling and corrosion control
• Physico-chemical modeling of water processes
• Experience with process simulation tools (e.G., Aspen, HYSYS), Excel-based models, and AutoCAD or similar for engineering diagrams.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in international, multidisciplinary teams.
• Fluent in English, both spoken and written.

Preferred Experience

• Prior involvement in desalination, industrial wastewater treatment, or municipal water plants.
• Experience with resin systems, boron removal, or membrane pre-treatment strategies.
• Participation in commissioning activities, technical assessments, or lab-scale testing.

What We Offer

• Participation in innovative, international water treatment projects.
• Remote work flexibility with long-term development opportunities.
• Professional growth in a highly technical and specialized environment.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and performance.
