Do you have a B.S. or PhD in Chemical Engineering and are afraid of spending your first assignment stuck in a lab wondering if your work will amount to something? Are you interested in a job that allows you to influence decision makers by (1) understanding technology & answering the question, “will it work?!”, and (2) assessing a technology's economic, strategic, and social merits? Then a Process Evaluator may be the perfect job for you. Process Engineering Evaluators have the best of several worlds. Not only do they work along side the lab scale experimentalists, developing commercial scale processes from bench chemistry, they also evaluate the economics of the proposed processes, comparing novel & existing technologies, and identifying economically attractive windows. They are able to mesh technology know-how with economics to guide research and development through the pilot stages and beyond. As techno-economists, process evaluators in business development groups have the opportunity to asses business needs & market environment & align them with strategic technical initiatives. We are research and development with the power to influence the direction of the business. Please join me for “A Day in the Life of a Process Evaluator” to find out more.
