Job Title
Graduate Process Engineer
Location
Alfreton, Derbyshire
Job Summary
This is a Graduate Process Engineer role providing hands‑on exposure to real‑world process engineering projects. You will be involved in the design of ejectors and engineered systems, applying core engineering principles such as heat and mass balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, process control, and P&ID/PFD development.
You will also support Front End Engineering Design (FEED) activities and process simulations (e.g., Aspen HYSYS). The role is embedded within a multi‑disciplinary engineering team of process, mechanical, and software engineers, supporting the Sales, R&D and Projects departments with technical input during conceptual and detailed design stages.
Additionally, you will prepare and review engineering calculations, functional design specifications, datasheets, reports, and other technical documentation, and contribute to the development of internal design methods and software tools.
Responsibilities
* Apply fundamental engineering principles (including heat and mass balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and process control) to support the process design of ejectors and engineered systems, preparing process calculations, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, operating and control philosophies, and process simulations (Aspen HYSYS).
* Provide technical support to other departments within Transvac, including enquiry support and assistance on live contracts.
* Support site‑based activities at client locations, including exhibitions, commissioning, troubleshooting, equipment health checks, internal and client HAZOPs, Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and the preparation of risk assessments, method statements, and site visit reports.
* Interface with external parties such as clients, suppliers, and training providers as required.
* Assist with the delivery of technical training and presentations to internal and external stakeholders, with support from senior engineers.
Basic Qualifications
* A recognised Chemical Engineering or Process Engineering degree (BEng or MEng).
* Right to work in the UK.
Travel & Work Arrangements/Requirements
Fully office‑based role, providing the best environment for hands‑on learning, close mentoring and collaboration with experienced engineers.
Occasional travel to client sites as part of project delivery and commissioning activities.
Key Competencies
* Strong technical aptitude with the ability to deliver accurate, high‑quality engineering work under guidance.
* Solid understanding of core process engineering fundamentals, with an awareness of related engineering disciplines.
* Familiarity with process simulation software (e.g., Aspen HYSYS).
* Competent use of relevant software such as the MS Office Suite.
* Willingness to learn, take feedback, and develop professionally within a structured engineering environment.
What We Offer
* Holiday entitlement
* Pension scheme
* Medical Cash Plan Cover
* Death in Service Benefit
* Electric Car Scheme
* 10% of salary in shares after 1 year of employment
* Employee Assistance Program
* Comprehensive product training and full internal support.
