Key Responsibilities:

• Process Technology & Optimization
• Develop, review, and optimize processes for Aromatics and LAB production (e.g., BTX extraction, HF/solid acid alkylation, LAB purification).
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives through energy and yield enhancement, catalyst performance analysis, and utility optimization.
• Benchmark internal operations against global best practices and recommend technology upgrades.
• Technical Support & Troubleshooting
• Provide expert support to manufacturing teams for day-to-day plant operations, troubleshooting process deviations, and ensuring product quality compliance.
• Assist in root cause analysis of process upsets and implementation of corrective actions.
• Process Development & Innovation
• Collaborate with R&D and Engineering teams for development and scale-up of new process technologies and catalysts in Aromatics and LAB.
• Evaluate and implement digital tools (e.g., modeling, simulation, AI/ML-based diagnostics) for process intensification.
• Project Execution
• Support engineering teams in preparing process packages, equipment specifications, PFDs, P&IDs, and HAZOP documentation for debottlenecking, revamps, or greenfield/brownfield projects.
• Evaluate technology licensors and participate in technology selection and due diligence.
• Knowledge Management & Compliance
• Ensure compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations during technical evaluations.
• Document and disseminate technical learnings, SOPs, and best practices across sites.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Education: B.Tech / M.Tech / Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering or equivalent from a reputed institution.
• Experience: 8–10 years of relevant experience in process technology, operations, or R&D in Aromatics (BTX) and/or LAB manufacturing units.
