Process engineers focus on continuous improvement and optimization to ensure minimal waste during a process and to maximize profits. To accomplish this, they must be able to design and develop scalable, automated, sustainable solutions and have a passion for catalyzing change through process optimization. Employed in a variety of industries, including agriculture, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology, process engineers often work in labs or offices.
While the role may differ slightly at each company, here is an overview of the typical duties:
Process engineers develop product specifications and equipment requirements. They implement manufacturing strategies and monitor processes. These processes vary, including simple mechanical processes such as the stamping of metal, and complex biochemical reactions. Process engineers develop innovative processes for new facilities but also analyze, upgrade, and optimize the existing processes and equipment that are being used by a company.
Process engineering is a cross-departmental discipline. The engineers collaborate with many different individuals such as R&D staff, production, and operations specialists, and, in some situations, customers.
Technology, especially Robotic Process Automation (RPA), is critical for supporting process engineers. For example, all relevant data about system and process performance must be regularly captured and analyzed to ensure that production is proceeding properly and any areas needing improvement can be quickly identified. RPA software bots can automate many of the processes involved in those tasks, saving time and effort and freeing up the process engineers for higher-value work.
Process engineering has a bright future and process engineers play an integral role at any company that utilizes advanced production technologies. A bachelor’s degree in chemical, manufacturing or industrial engineering is usually required for the job. Certificates that demonstrate the engineer’s expertise and mastery of aspects of their job, for example, an RPA certification, can provide an employment edge.
