- Drive Process Engineering projects in the cluster/site from idea to
operational ramp up.
- Provide input and suggestions to the local cluster management.
Initiate ideas and set priorities together with the internal customer
- Support dust reduction and HS campaigns
- Define specifications and estimate process parameters to enable the
most suitable Project Delivery Model
- Support the evaluation of technical and economic feasibility of
projects
- Organize trials (lab and/or industrial) and use specific simulation
software to develop the block flow diagrams and process flow sheet
- Initiate the Project Cost estimation, assessing a preliminary order of
magnitude on the defined scope and on the block flow diagrams /
flow sheet
- Support Project Planning and Execution
- Participate in project commissioning by assisting and training the
operators and successfully transfer the project to the line
- Write manuals and instructions on process equipment
- Ensure Quality Control all along the project delivery
. Design new, innovative minerals and materials processes and adapt
existing ones to improve efficiency, safety, sustainability and cost
efficiency.
- Conduct technical and/or operational ad-hoc audits on specific need
basis, in accordance with the Sibelco Process Audit Guidelines.
