Reactor Design Engineer

Singapore Full-time R&D
Apply for this role →

About the role

The Plant IV reactor will be a meaningful step up in scale from our existing fleet. We are looking for a reactor design engineer to join the central engineering group in Singapore and own the mechanical and process integration of the next-generation reactor package, from concept through detailed design and supplier hand-off.

Responsibilities

  • Lead reactor sizing, geometry, internals, and heat-integration design for the Plant IV unit.
  • Develop CFD and reaction-network models in partnership with the catalyst group.
  • Specify and procure reactor internals, instrumentation, and refractory packages.
  • Coordinate with the EPC partner during detailed engineering.
  • Support startup at site once construction completes (targeting late 2027).

What we’re looking for

  • 7+ years reactor design experience in a continuous catalytic process — FCC, MTO, methanol, or comparable.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a reactor package from PFD through commissioning.
  • Strong CFD and reaction-engineering modelling skills (Aspen, ANSYS Fluent, or equivalent).
  • Comfortable speaking with operators, fabricators, and licensors in the same week.

Benefits

  • Equity in a fast-growing private company.
  • Direct ownership of a multi-million-dollar capex item.
  • 25 days annual leave plus Singapore public holidays.
  • Sponsored membership of a professional engineering institution.
