Job Description
About us
Do you want to work on the end-to-end design of one the most innovative process systems on Earth, where you deploy 1 system a week, not 1 system a decade like most incumbents?

Essential skills:
- 5+ years professional experience
- Bachelor’s or Masters in chemical engineering or related field
- Experience designing, building and operating process plants

- Extensive relocation support, including £6000 per year extra to live close to our HQ
