Chemical engineering technician jobs in Finland
Chemical engineering technicians transform raw materials in order to develop and test chemical products. They also work on improving chemical plant operations and processes.
Chemical engineering technician - Which skills are essential?
Materials and techniques required in the production and distribution processes.
Monitor activities and perform tasks ensuring compliance with standards involving environmental protection and sustainability, and amend activities in the case of changes in environmental legislation. Ensure that the processes are compliant with environment regulations and best practices.
Carry out tests in a laboratory to produce reliable and precise data to support scientific research and product testing.
Translate, by means of computer models and simulations, the specific laboratory formulae and findings into production processes.
The engineering elements like functionality, replicability, and costs in relation to the design and how they are applied in the completion of engineering projects.
Apply mathematical methods and make use of calculation technologies in order to perform analyses and devise solutions to specific problems.
Select and use ICT systems for a variety of complex tasks in order to meet a variety of needs.
Test processed workpieces or products for basic faults.
The process of identifying, assessing, and prioritising of all types of risks and where they could come from, such as natural causes, legal changes, or uncertainty in any given context, and the methods on dealing with risks effectively.
Run simulations on prototypes, systems or newly developed chemical products using laboratory equipment.
Make sure that laboratory equipment is used in a safe manner and the handling of samples and specimens is correct. Work to ensure the validity of results obtained in research.
The systematic approach to the development and maintenance of engineering systems.
Techniques applied in the different fields of natural science in order to obtain experimental data such as gravimetric analysis, gas chromatography, electronic or thermic methods.
Calibrate laboratory equipment by comparing between measurements: one of known magnitude or correctness, made with a trusted device and a second measurement from another piece of laboratory equipment. Make the measurements in as similar a way as possible.
Take the necessary precautions for storing, using and disposing chemical products.
Work closely and communicate with engineers on designs or new products.
Analyse experimental data and interpret results to write reports and summaries of findings
Perform the testing procedures on the already prepared chemical samples, by using the necessary equipment and materials. Chemical sample testing involves operations such as pipetting or diluting schemes.
Determine if a product or its components can be produced by applying engineering principles.
Quality assurance principles, standard requirements, and the set of processes and activities used for measuring, controlling and ensuring the quality of products and processes.
The composition, structure, and properties of substances and the processes and transformations that they undergo; the uses of different chemicals and their interactions, production techniques, risk factors, and disposal methods.
Prepare the specific samples such as gas, liquid or solid samples in order for them to be ready for analysis, labeling and storing samples according to specifications.
Chemical engineering technician - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Instruments and methods used to separate, identify and quanitfy matter - the chemical components of natural and artificial materials and solutions.
The process in which radioactive substances can be extracted or recycled for use as nuclear fuel, and in which waste levels can be reduced, yet without the reduction of radioactivity levels or generation of heat.
Use the chromatography data system software which collects and analyses the chromatography detectors results.
The various types of oxidation reactions with the environment, such as rusting, copper pitting, stress cracking, and others.
Schedule the production aiming maximum profitability while still maintaining the company KPIs in cost, quality, service and innovation.
Repair and perform routine maintenance on equipment which controls nuclear chain reactions to generate electricity, ensure that the equipment functions safely and compliant with legislation.
Clean laboratory glassware and other equipment after use and inspect it for damage or corrosion in order to ensure its proper functioning.
Dispose of dangerous materials such as chemical or radioactive substances according to environmental and to health and safety regulations.
Oversee all personnel and processes to comply with health, safety and hygiene standards. Communicate and support alignment of these requirements with the company's health and safety programmes.
Communicate with the external analytical laboratories in order to manage the required external testing process.
The different types of waste which poses risks to the environment or public health and safety, such as radioactive waste, chemicals and solvents, electronics, and mercury-containing waste.
Perform safety audits and inspections on workplaces and workplace equipment. Ensure that they meet safety regulations and identify hazards and risks.
The generation of electrical energy through the use of nuclear reactors, by converting the energy released from nuclei of atoms in reactors which generate heat. This heat subsequently generates steam which can power a steam turbine to generate electricity.
Field of information concerning the reduction of the use of energy. It encompasses calculating the consumption of energy, providing certificates and support measures, saving energy by reducing the demand, encouraging efficient use of fossil fuels, and promoting the use of renewable energy.
Supervise the staff working in a laboratory, as well as oversee that equipment is functional and maintained, and procedures occur in compliance with regulations and legislation.
Recognise the symptoms of metal showing oxidation reactions with the environment resulting in rusting, copper pitting, stress cracking, and others, and estimate the rate of corrosion.
Store documents such as protocols, analysis results and scientific data using archiving systems to enable scientists and engineers to take methods and results from previous studies into account for their research.
The chemistry of substances that do not contain hydrocarbon radicals.
Write reports on the manufactured batches history taking into account the raw data, tests performed and compliance to GMP of each batch of product.
Maintain records of the progress of the work including time, defects, malfunctions, etc.
Ensure a high standard of safety and quality in facilities, systems, and workers' behaviour. Ensure adherence to procedures and audit standards. Ensure that machinery and appliances in the production plant are appropriate for their task.
The measures and procedures used to protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionising radiation.
The regulations and procedures surrounding the safekeeping of materials and substances which pose health and safety risks.
Analyse production processes leading toward improvement. Analyse in order to reduce production losses and overall manufacturing costs.
Maintain the machinery used in chromatographic methodologies by executing small repairs and escalating the problems that are related to the machinery manufacturer.
Plan, coordinate, and direct all production activities to insure the goods are made on time, in correct order, of adequate quality and composition, starting from intake goods up to shipping.
Recomend product modifications and process improvements.
