  • Identify potential process risks, and propose, and evaluate solutions to mitigate the risks.
  • Evaluate process capability and improve process control.
Qualifications and Experience:

  • Proficient in using software for process analysis and modeling.
  • Sound understanding of chemical processes and their scale-up.
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills for implementation of cross-functional process improvements.
  • Strong background in analytical and quantitative skills for problem-solving of large/complex problems and proven ability in decision-making.
What We Offer:
