We are seeking an experienced Bioprocess & Scale-up Engineer to join our groundbreaking project in the field of alternative protein sources. Our company brings together an established food business and a leading technology center, and we are looking for a professional who will play a key role in transforming our pilot-scale technology into a commercially viable industrial process.
This position is idóneo for someone with strong expertise in industrial fermentation processes, process engineering, and industrial plant design, who can help us minimize technical risks, optimize production efficiency, and ensure a successful industrial deployment.
What you will do
As our Senior Bioprocess & Scale-up Engineer , you will lead the engineering activities required to transition from pilot-scale production (200 L) to our first industrial fermentation facility in Spain, including feedstock pre-treatment (e.g., hydrolysis), a complete fermentation train from seed fermenters to a 100,000 L production fermenter, together with the associated downstream processing equipment.



The production process will involve the valorisation and bioconversion of a wide range of agri-food by-products as feedstocks, requiring the development of robust and flexible process solutions to accommodate different raw material characteristics. Working closely with the R&D; and Management teams, you will provide the technical expertise needed to design robust, cost-effective and scalable production processes.
Your mission will be to maximize process efficiency, reduce operational risks, optimize production costs and ensure that the industrial plant is designed for reliable long-term operation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the scale-up strategy from pilot plant to industrial production.
- Design, specify, procure, install and commission the company's first industrial fermentation plant.
- Define process requirements, process flow, equipment specifications and plant layouts for feedstock pre-treatment, fermentati
