Process Control Engineer-Honeywell DCS

Syensqo is all about chemistry. We’re not just referring to chemical reactions here, but also to the magic that occurs when the brightest minds get to work together. This is where our true strength lies. In you. In your future colleagues and in all your differences. And of course, in your ideas to improve lives while preserving our planet’s beauty for the generations to come.

 

 

We are looking for:

 

• The APC Engineer is responsible for Advanced Process Control projects, from the analysis of the process (together with process/production people), detailed design of the (A)PC solution and the final DCS (or alternative computational hardware) Software basic/detailed implementation, in order to promote the production of quantities and qualities of desired product at the lowest cost in accordance with applicable safety and environmental Solvay group state of the art procedures and Corporate Values (i.e. Responsible Care).   

 

• Organize, design and carry out the development, implementation and maintenance of Automation, Advanced/Basic Control and Process Optimization.
• Help verifying that process instruments (valves, actuators, VSDs, Instruments, Basic Analyzers: pH Density, Redox) are adequate for the new (A) PC projects participating from the beginning in projects that involves new development in (A) PC and Automation in general.
• Bring (A)PC support for plants in a defined GBU zone, helping local APC Engineers (if existing) or developing the whole project with the local team (locally and/or remotely), while keeping the support to the local plant where is based.
• If required, participate in Manufacturing Excellence projects at GBU level.
