Process Engineer

We are getting our own pilot plant!
With one product already being launched and with three more cheeses in the pipeline, we are investing heavily in building a solid and proactive Production Operation & Supply Chain function. To reach the aggressive expansion plans of ours, we are just about to get our own pilot plan and we need someone to take the full responsibility for it.

We are therefore looking for a Process Engineer who will, in close collaboration with the R&D team, have an important role in scaling our lab-prototypes to large scale production.

The role
As Process Engineer, a.k.a boss of our pilot plant, your main responsibility will be to operate and maintain the pilot plant. Besides being the one setting up and conducting pilot runs, you will be modifying and ordering the right equipment, defining production parameters and calculating production parameters to optimize for large scale production.

In order to meet targeted product quality, you will work closely with the R&D team and our co-manufacturers, of whom you will educate and support to implement all quality control parameters specified by R&D (HACCP). Furthermore, you will compile and analyse the results of the pilot and production runs in order to identify improvements and adjustments necessary to optimise production according to product specifications.

As can be imagined, the majority of your time will be spent at the pilot plant in Nacka, Stockholm. The rest of the time will be spent at our office and lab facilities in Solna. As we are to expand internationally, you should also expect to travel to co-manufacturing sites in Europe and the US.

You will be part of the Production and Supply Chain team and report to Ali Afsar-Nazari, Head of Production Operation & Supply Chain.

Who we believe you are
You don’t have to be vegan, actually none of us are 100% strict about it, but we expect you to have a couple of years experience from production and processing equipment from either food or pharmaceutical manufacturing. Educational wise, you have a university degree from food technology or engineering.

You will benefit from having experience from calculating, designing and dimensioning production processes in terms of pressure, flow, temperature and volume parameters. Knowledge of lean manufacturing and six sigma will be helpful as well.

To thrive as our Process Engineer you enjoy the balance of being independent and collaborate with internal as well as external stakeholders. Important personal traits are to be self going, communicative with the ability to prioritize when unexpected situations and issues occur. You are structured, pay attention to details and have a high quality awareness, where you always aim to find opportunities and solutions.
