Process Analytics Engineer

We're looking for talents who are:

Chemical engineer with solid process control and process optimization background

Experience with advanced data analytics and tooling on top of process knowledge - we use Python and TrendMiner day to day

Comfortable with AI tools (Claude/ChatGPT/Copilot) for real analysis and coding support, not just writing emails

Job Purpose

The regional Process Analytics Engineer will drive and help deliver operational improvements at our manufacturing sites through utilization of digital tools and data analytics. This involves establishing and maintaining a collaboration effort between the regional team you are part of, other (regional) teams and the different focus sites in scope.

Key Accountabilities

Provide and build digital, analytical- and process control/tuning capabilities and other domain expertise.

Contribute to the overall Process Automation & Digital roadmap by capturing and driving operational improvements at our manufacturing sites.

Key activities

· Through digital data mining, collect, interpret, and report manufacturing process related opportunities.

· Review and optimize the process control layer using available tools in combination with practical and theoretical knowledge.

· Connect- and collaborate with focus sites and other (regional) teams within Nouryon.

· Share knowledge and build digital, analytical and process control capabilities both internally as well as locally at our manufacturing sites.

Key Competencies

Hands-on, plant-floor mentality — not someone who wants to sit in the office only. We go to the plants.

Can-do attitude, comfortable getting hands dirty on-site

Willing to travel, including extended assignments across China if required.

Example: one of my team members from Tianjin is currently on long assignment in Ningbo, working with a peer to implement a large initiative pipeline across the Jiaxing, Taixing, and Ningbo plants.

Strong communicator — needs to build alignment and buy-in with site leadership and process engineers

Able to build a good working relationship with regional OpEx, since they're our eyes and ears in-region and help drive implementation of key projects
