• A series of things that are done in order to
achieve a particular result (example: to treat
raw materials, food, etc. in order to change it,
to preserve it, etc)
• Synonyms: operation, exercice, procedure,
routine, method, technique, mechanism, way,
methodology.
• To carry out, to perform, to supervise, to go
through a process (Example: the process of
water treatment is carried out using the
sedimentation method)

• The activity of applying scientific knowledge to
the design and control of machines, roads,
bridges, electrical equipements, food, water,
etc.
• Process Engineering is the understanding
and the application of the fundamental
principles and laws of nature that allow
humans to transform raw material and energy
into products that are useful to society at an
industrial level. It involves a vast range of
industries, such as: agriculture, automative,
chemical, mining, nuclear, pharmaceutical,
food, water treatment, etc.
• Under the wide umbrella of the engineering field, a process engineer is an in-
demand position that covers a wide range of industries.
• Process engineers design, implement and optimize industrial processes for
large-scale manufacturing companies. They mainly work in the
manufacturing, chemical, and biotechnology industries but may also work in
sales or IT to design and optimize sales or software processes.
• As a process engineer, you will be responsible for developing and
implementing process strategies, managing process resources, optimizing
current processes, and maintaining process documents. Ultimately, your job
is to maintain the efficiency of production in order to reduce costs.
• To ensure success as a process engineer you should have extensive
experience in process design, excellent technical skills, and high-level
analytical skills. A top-class process engineer can analyze a process system
and implement simple yet effective changes to boost production.
• Meeting with production managers to assess existing processes.
• Drafting process ideas to reduce costs and improve production rates.
• Performing risk assessments.
• Designing and testing process upgrades and new process systems.
• Ensuring processes comply with safety and quality standards.
• Performing process simulations and troubleshooting issues.
• Performing optimization tests.
• Developing routines and best practices to ensure product quality.
• Developing standardized operating instructions for the upgrades process.
• Providing the Product Manager with process documents and standard
operating procedures.
• Monitoring upgrades systems.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
• Proven work experience as a process engineer.
• Experience with process simulations and standard operating procedures.
• High-level knowledge of process engineering software systems.
• Experience working with CAD and AutoCAD.
• Advanced technical skills.
• Analytical thinker.
• Familiarity with state health and safety regulations.
• Ability to project manage.
