Job Description

Are you passionate about conceptual design in the chemical sector and looking for a project where your experience dictates the direction of technical solutions? If you are tired of rigid structures and overly functional environments where your ideas get diluted, this opportunity will allow you to lead with true technical autonomy.

Your role will be the bridge between conceptual design and the success of the technical proposal.

Your key responsibilities:
- You will design the conceptual and basic engineering for industrial projects, without entering construction or detailed design phases.
- You will describe chemical engineering processes and prepare essential deliverables: process flow diagrams (PFD), mass and energy balances, and lists of equipment, lines, valves, and instruments.
- You will advise and provide technical support to the commercial department for the precise definition of offers aimed at major accounts in the chemical and food sectors.
- You will coordinate the area's resources, with the support of 1 or 2 direct assistants depending on the workload.
- You will capitalize on the company's knowledge, driving continuous improvement and actively participating in the design of process solutions and tests in the pilot plant.
- The position is designed to provide solid support from the Rubí office. Travel is very occasional: perhaps attending a sector trade fair or conducting a technical visit to a client once a month.

What will make you succeed in this position?
- University degree: Training in Chemical Engineering or Industrial Engineering (preferably with a specialty in Processes or Chemistry).
- Solid track record: At least 5 years of experience performing conceptual and basic process engineering in the chemical industry sector or in capital goods firms. (Previous experience in Oil & Gas environments will be positively valued).
- Languages: Fluency in technical English, as it is the key tool for daily document and technical management.
- Key competencies: We are looking for a professional with a high degree of autonomy, the ability to make the right decision when facing technical challenges, and an attitude oriented toward continuous learning.

What you gain: Benefits for your growth:
- Long-term and permanent project: A stable incorporation through a permanent contract in a rapidly growing organization.
- Competitive remuneration package consisting of a fixed salary and a variable package.
- Growth plan: Your professional evolution is backed by a real development plan within the company.
- Real flexibility and work-life balance: Enjoy an intensive workday during the summer, flexible daily schedules, and one day of remote work per week to balance your personal life throughout the year.
