Engineer

Description:

As our EC&I engineer, you will own the electrical, control and instrumentation side of our fermentation systems. You will be our technical lead for adjusting and maintaining existing systems and work with external engineering partners to design the control system as we scale our process. This will involve ensuring the design meets our process needs, then installing, commissioning and running it.

This position is for an experienced, hands-on engineer who wants to build, test and improve real systems. Your work will directly shape how our first commercial plant is designed and operated.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Act as our technical point of contact with the external engineering company designing the control system and panels for our next fermentation systems
• Work with our process team to define control and instrumentation requirements, and review design documents such as P&IDs, control narratives, I/O lists, schematics and instrument lists
• Install, wire, calibrate and loop-check instruments, equipment and cabling, including in ATEX-zoned areas handling flammable gases
• Support commissioning and handover of the new pilot, and help optimise it in early operation
• Keep our current pilot running: maintain instruments, tune controllers and data logging, and make PLC changes
• Help select and procure instruments and equipment, and coordinate contractors on site
• Contribute to HAZOP and other safety reviews
• Keep as-built drawings and equipment records up to date

YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO

• Likes being in the plant room as much as at the desk
• Takes ownership of a scope and sees it through
• Treats safety as part of good engineering, not an afterthought
• Enjoys working across disciplines rather than in one narrow specialism
• Communicates clearly with people outside your discipline
