Technology Expert Polymerization (f/m/d)

Key accountablities

We are a leading organization committed to excellence and continuous improvement. As a Technology expert, you will play a pivotal role of providing technology expertise, proposing new technical solutions and enabling continuous progress to our polymerization units.

In order to meet the increasing demands for sustainable, high-performance and cost-efficient polymers, continuous further development of polymerisation technologies is necessary. A Technology Expert Polymerisation is crucial for developing innovative solutions, optimising processes and ensuring the company's competitiveness.

• Support polymerisation units: Central point of contact for any deviation of any polymerization process. The role is also ensuring DOMOs competitiveness of Polymerization process. Support of Sales and Customer relation
• Industrialisation means the improvement of existing and implementation/scaling up of new polymerisation processes to industrial production. The main tasks include:
  • Process development & optimisation
  • Transfer of new polymerisation processes to industrial scale
  • Increasing the efficiency and reducing the costs of processes
  • Adaptation to existing production plants
  • Identification and solution of scaling problems
  • Sustainability & regulatory requirements
  • Optimisation of resource and energy consumption
  • Compliance with environmental and safety regulations
  • Interface between research & development, production and engineering

  • Training employees in new processes/ grades transfers between DOMOs polymerization plants

• Consolidate and develop the know-how and the benchmark knowledge in the concerned domain.
  • Maintain up-to-date and available technology documentation (Process bible, state of the art process design, basic data, process comparison…)
  • Drive technological watch, identify best technologies, evaluate and recommend innovating technologies.
  • support knowledge transfer between polymerization plants/ documentation
• Ensure DOMO technology performance and competitiveness in polymerisation:
  • Evaluate, challenge and follow processes performance (OEE, yield, energy, process perf indicator-Mass balance)

  • Advise plants on the definition of specific process’ KPI/specific monitoring and targets (incl MDC, target yield…); Definition of process parameters

  • Lead PIT process and ensure follow up of decided actions; lead delivering VR (process & energy & Yield) /Quality/ OEE improvements for Polymers activities

• Support in technical process issues (root course support); plant support in case of incident/crisis (identify issue, help to fix and to restart) to minimize time off and costs
• Participate and implement DOMO Industrial strategy on the concerned domain:
  • Participate on engineering pre-studies related to process change (growth, performance, sustainability or innovation) and peripheric changes

  • Interface R&D/Plants for innovation and significant adaptation or innovation (project evaluation, industrialization studies, startup)

• Support EM industrialisation team for specific polymer choices (from process point of view)
• Support commercial and plants/QA:
  • Support to answer claims /root course analysis
  • Advise customers on their process Domo products efficiency
