Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on Chemical Engineer with a commercial mindset to join our Energy & Process Technologies team.

The transition to a more sustainable future depends on turning new ideas into practical technologies. Our EPT team develops products that help decarbonise industry, transform the way chemicals are made, and accelerate the adoption of modern energy-generation and storage technologies. By combining deep scientific expertise in electrochemistry and power electronics with systems, chemical, and product engineering, we deliver complex, commercially viable solutions for our ambitious clients.

Our ambition is to grow the business rapidly, to engage with corporate clients and technology start-ups, to leverage our multi-disciplinary science, technology, and engineering skillset, to help those clients respond to the global challenges of net-zero, sustainability, and the energy transition.

As a chemical engineering consultant at TTP, you will work on a range of engineering challenges, using your solid grounding in scientific and first-principles engineering knowledge to identify and develop solutions to real-world problems across a range of industries. This will involve a mix of creative ideas-generation, analysis, modelling and problem solving, through to hands-on experimental work, taking ideas from the lab through to the building and operation of pilot facilities and commercial deployments.

You will also enjoy using this growing knowledge base to explore new business opportunities and in the creation of value for our clients and for TTP.

With superb facilities, training and the freedom to innovate, your future at TTP is what you make it. We value ambition, creativity, leadership and technical excellence and we provide a fantastic environment to develop your career.

Qualifications

We welcome applications from highly creative Chemical Engineers with a desire to move into a fast-paced environment who can offer a track record of achievement and strong academic performance. You will have the opportunity to apply your expertise across the full lifecycle of product and process development.

• Demonstrable experience as a chemical engineer in industry and/or a or PhD in Chemical Engineering with evidence of hands-on engineering experience.

• Experience developing and delivering lab to pilot scale processes. Demonstrated experience of carrying projects from inception to delivery and working in multi-disciplinary teams.

• Strong mathematical skills, with experience of applying numerical or analytical methods to understand unit operations, chemical reactions, or thermal design and an understanding of the power and limitations of analysis and modelling vs experiment.

• Commercial insight – you understand the challenges associated with translating a technical solution to a commercial reality and use this to steer technical solutions and consider new business opportunities

Nice to have(s):

• Knowledge of installation and fabrication methods for chemical systems at lab, pilot and commercial scales.

• Experience with supplier management and knowledge of components and suppliers for chemical systems, e.g. valves, instrumentation, pressure vessels.

• Working knowledge of regulatory framework(s) associated with chemical processes (e.g. ATEX, PED) and risk management methods at different development stages (e.g. COSHH, HAZOP, HAZID).

• Experience with process simulation tools (e.g. Aspen plus, gPROMS), high-fidelity modelling tools (COMSOL, ANSYS) or developing custom models in python, MATLAB or other environments.

An in-depth interview process will explore your ability to apply and communicate the first principles of chemical engineering to resolve a broad range of real-world problems.

We would like to hear about your collaborative, analytical and structured approach to tackling complex technical challenges in your application.
