The Bio-Chemical Engineer plays a crucial role within the Mill Division, working closely with the production team to develop and implement a cost-effective and safe biological program. This position is responsible for managing all biological systems and processes within the mill division, ensuring that operations run smoothly and efficiently. The Bio-Chemical Engineer will design, build, install, and commission biocide systems and processes, driving their operation to meet production goals. This role requires a strong understanding of chemical and biochemical engineering principles, as well as the ability to apply these principles in a practical, industrial setting. In addition to the primary responsibilities, the Bio-Chemical Engineer may be assigned additional duties by management, which could involve troubleshooting existing systems, optimizing processes, and collaborating with other departments to enhance overall mill performance. The position demands a proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment. The Bio-Chemical Engineer must also be prepared to communicate technical information clearly and effectively to various stakeholders, including suppliers, contractors, and team members. The work environment can be challenging, as the engineer will be exposed to moving mechanical parts, wet and humid conditions, and potentially loud noise levels.
