E. / M.
E. in Chemical Engineering

Experience:
2–3 years of total experience, with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience Role Summary The Engineer – Projects will be responsible for supporting the installation, integration, pre-commissioning, trial runs, and operational monitoring of ion-exchange resin manufacturing equipment and process lines. The role involves coordinating with plant operations, monitoring batch processes, optimizing production yield and quality, ensuring protected chemical handling, and maintaining process documentation and safety compliance.

Key Responsibilities
• Piping and Utility Integration: Map, verify, and supervise the integration of new resin manufacturing lines with existing utilities, including steam, chilled water, vacuum, and effluent treatment systems.
• Equipment Verification: Participate in pre-commissioning checklists, P&ID; walkthroughs, equipment inspections, and punch-list closure for reactors, dryers, and other equipment.
• Pre-Commissioning and Trial Runs: Assist in water trials, solvent trials, and equipment leak testing before raw material charging.
• SOP Preparation: Assist in preparing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for new equipment under the guidance of the Plant Manager.
• Batch Process Monitoring: Supervise shift-wise batch polymerization, functionalization (sulfonation/am ination), and washing operations, ensuring adherence to prescribed process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and dosing rates.
• Yield and Quality Optimization: Monitor raw material consumption, analyze batch cycle times, and support improvements in resin yield and moisture/capacity specifications.
• Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve process deviations, equipment fouling,



and batch abnormalities to ensure smooth plant operations.
• Chemical Handling and Storage: Ensure safe handling, storage, and charging of hazardous raw materials, including styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB), sulfuric acid, and MCA.
• Effluent and Waste Management: Coordinate with the environment team to monitor and minimize high-COD/high-TDS wastewater generated during resin washing operations.
• Safety and Compliance: Ensure compliance with work permit systems, including hot work and confined space permits, and maintain zero-leakage standards for toxic vapours.
• Production Documentation: Maintain accurate daily production logs, Batch Manufacturing Records (BMRs), and energy consumption data.
• Mass and Energy Balance: Perform routine mass balance calculations to identify losses and improve efficiency in washing and solvent recovery processes. Mandatory Skills and Competencies
• Robust technical knowledge of chemical engineering and process operations.
• Hands-on working capabilities in plant and equipment operations.
• Supervisory skills and the ability to handle junior staff and labour.
• Effective coordination and communication skills.
• Working knowledge of MS Office.
• Understanding of process safety, hazardous chemical handling, and industrial work permit systems.
• Ability to monitor production parameters, maintain records, and troubleshoot operational issues. Desired Candidate Profile
