• Transfer in-house pilot's operation, data collection and reporting method to on-field pilot systems leading to technology evaluation on the integrated demonstration plant.
• Assist project in-charge and engineering manager in sourcing components for scaling up of selected membrane technologies to pilot systems.
• Support and contribute to discussions leading to engineering design and system process flow finalization for pilot operations.
• Stay abreast with state-of-art developments in water treatment technologies.
• Prepare, operationalize, and maintain SOP's pertaining to membrane processes.
• Train and educate junior staff in matters related to membrane technology and water treatment operations.
• Ensure strict compliance with Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) Regulations.
• Present regular project progress review to senior management.

Requirements

• Bachelor's in Engineering (Materials/Mechanical/Chemical/Environmental)
• Fresh graduates are welcome to apply. At least 2 years of experience in membrane technology, process operations and optimization is an advantage.
• Experience in membrane fabrication processes e.g., flat sheet and hollow fiber and/or other types of membranes is an advantage)
• Good knowledge of water treatment systems based on polymeric and ceramic membrane technologies.
• Experience in processing and communicating P&ID's for pilot systems related to water treatment and other separation process applications.
• Hands on experience in using design software including but not limited to AutoCAD is a plus.
• Appointment may vary and will commensurate with candidate's years of working experience. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
