We are seeking a Process Engineer to support an Alarm Rationalization Project at a pharmaceutical manufacturing site. This initiative aims to optimize alarm systems across critical equipment including HVAC systems, refrigerators, freezers, and batch-specific assets such as fermenters. The goal is to establish a robust, site-wide response protocol for all relevant alarms quality, safety, and nuisance—while eliminating non-value-add alerts.
Key Responsibilities :
Equipment Assessment
- Capture the “as-is” alarm state for ~1000 pieces of equipment.
- Document alarm types and set points for both continuous and batch-specific systems.
Change Control Implementation
Support the formal change control process for alarm updates and rationalization.Collaborate with site stakeholders to align alarm response protocols.Alarm Optimization
Identify and eliminate non-value-add alarms (e.g., those not tied to safety, product output, or yield).Rationalize alarms based on impact and necessity.On-Site Engineering Support
Evaluate and update alarm configurations directly on the floor.Work hands-on with equipment such as freezers (high-high / low-low alarms), HVAC systems, and fermenters.Ensure licensed product alarms are properly configured and responded to.Qualifications :
Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering , Industrial Systems Engineering , or related field.Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in process engineering, preferably in pharmaceutical or regulated manufacturing environments.Proven ability to work independently and manage tasks with minimal supervision.Strong understanding of equipment processing and alarm systems.Experience with alarm rationalization or similar optimization projects is highly desirable.
