With a number of exciting projects confirmed and underway, we’re looking for a Process Engineering Graduate to join the PDV Consultants team on a six-month fixed-term basis (immediate start). If you’re someone who takes pride in clear, accurate documentation and enjoys working at the intersection of the technical and operations functions, this could be a great fit.
Reporting to the Principal Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing the training materials, operating guidelines, SOPs, and quality documentation that bring our process engineering projects to life — and keep them compliant. No two days will look exactly the same.
What you’ll be doing
- Developing training and technical documentation for projects
- Supporting training delivery to operations and maintenance staff — including travel to client sites from time to time.
- Documenting training completion to align with client sign-off requirements.
- Developing operating guidelines, SOPs, critical work instructions and change management documentation for project changes.
- Developing project manuals and compiling quality documentation covering delivery and commissioning.
- Supporting commissioning activities and providing project engineering and management support as needed.
- Support process engineering design and project delivery
About you
You’re a detail-oriented, self-directed communicator who can take technical information and turn it into documentation that actually works for the people using it. Ideally, you’ll have:
- Demonstrated experience developing technical documentation.
- The ability to translate complex technical information into clear, practical content for operational audiences.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams at once without dropping the ball on the details.
- Confidence working on-site and engaging directly with operations and maintenance teams.
- Experience in food processing, dairy, or industrial manufacturing is a bonus – but not a dealbreaker.
- A Chemical or Process Engineering qualification
