  • Preparing technical documentation for construction and operating permits
  • Supporting project management in planning, controlling, and risk evaluation
  • Providing on-site support during plant commissioning at client or company locations

What You Bring

  • A relevant technical degree (Master's/Diploma), ideally in chemical or process engineering
  • 10–15 years of professional experience in chemical plant engineering or the chemical industry
  • Proven experience in conceptual planning and in leading external partners
  • Business-fluent German skills (general, business, and technical terminology)
  • Strong English communication skills
  • Solid economic understanding and a pragmatic, project-oriented mindset
  • Proficiency with P&ID and calculation tools (ideally AutoCAD Plant 3D and Aspen+)
  • Profound knowledge of relevant regulations (e.g., Pressure Equipment Directive, Machinery Directive)
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for project needs
  • Residence in Germany and willingness to be on-site in Erlangen at least once per week

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to contribute to high-impact engineering projects within a forward-thinking, innovation-driven environment. You will play a crucial role in shaping advanced process solutions with a company that values expertise, autonomy, and collaboration.
