– Contribute to process improvement and efficiency optimisation projects
– Enjoy a competitive salary, private medical cover, and a company pension
– Benefit from quick career progression and continuous learning opportunities

Company Overview
Our client, a trusted partner to companies worldwide, is seeking a skilled Process Engineer to join their team on the outskirts of Maidstone. As a global leader in manufacturing, they offer an unparalleled portfolio of innovative solutions.

You’ll be joining a site with a long-standing, experienced workforce – many of whom have been part of the team for 30 to 40 years. They’re highly knowledgeable and happy to share their expertise, so the ideal candidate must be someone who can build rapport, fit well within the team, and inspire confidence and trust while leading change.

Position Overview
As a Process Engineer, you’ll play a crucial role in driving process improvements and optimising efficiency across the site. You’ll lead key projects, champion Lean methodologies, and support continuous improvement in a hands-on environment.

The key here is someone personable, engaging, and confident in their ability to learn and lead. You’ll need to be a team player who can build strong relationships and help influence positive change in a respectful, collaborative way.

This is a hands-on role – on scheduled maintenance/shutdown days, Process Engineers work closely with the team and often get covered in pulp (despite the mill being very clean). If you shy away from this level of involvement, this will not be a good fit for you!

If you progress to the second stage of the interview process, you’ll need to demonstrate curiosity, ask relevant questions, and show genuine enthusiasm to roll up your sleeves and get involved.

Key Responsibilities:
– Lead and support process improvement programs, monitor plant processes, and assist in troubleshooting
– Deliver specific projects and conduct regular reviews to ensure resource allocation and progress tracking
– Use Lean techniques to drive efficiency improvements across the site
– Organise and run status meetings with stakeholders
– Identify process constraints and coordinate with multiple departments to implement improvements
– Undertake efficiency, reliability, and safety optimisation projects
– Contribute during problem-solving sessions across departments
– Embrace and support new technologies and equipment

Requirements:
– Technical degree (e.g.Chemical Engineering or similar)
– Previous experience in a process-driven environment (desirable)
– Strong organisational and prioritisation skills
– Excellent interpersonal and problem-solving abilities
– Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
– Computer and systems literacy
– Professionalism when working with contractors and internal teams
– Self-motivated, with a commitment to personal and team development

Benefits:
– Fast-tracked career progression
– 40-hour work week, Monday to Friday (08:30 – 17:30)
– Private medical cover
– Generous company pension (6% employer contribution, minimum 3% employee contribution)

You’ll join a culture focused on training, flexibility, safety, and continuous improvement. Adaptability, hands-on involvement, and a willingness to grow with the team are essential traits for success in this role.

At KHR we take care to ensure that you are represented as well as possible so it is worth checking your CV for layout, spelling and grammar as well as making sure it is up to date before you submit.
