Process Engineer Short Term

Role and department

In Delfzijl, approximately 250 employees work together every day on the production of the raw material for our successful product Twaron®. The monomers PPD and TDC are produced here. These monomers are then combined in a closed process to create a unique aramid polymer (Polyparaphenylene terephthalamide). We recover solvents for reuse in a separate factory. After drying, the polymer is packaged and transported to the Teijin Aramid production site in Emmen, where it is spun into Twaron®. The Technology & Engineering department supports the production process, assesses QHSE risks and carries out projects in the areas of safety, environment, stability, process optimization and cost efficiency.

Within your role as a short-term process engineer you provide direct plant support, which means resolving disruptions and optimizing production processes. As a knowledge carrier of the factory or part of the factory, you are the point of contact for questions about the production process and the applied technologies, and you proactively come up with proposals for research programs.

You work together with other disciplines such as production, technical service, R&D and QHSE in a challenging and dynamic environment where almost all unit operations that are common in process technology are present, from reaction and distillation to filtration, evaporation and extraction. In this versatile role you will build up experience across the entire playing field of chemical technology. In addition, you make an active contribution to our KENZEN improvement program to achieve a LEAN organization.
