Process engineer jobs in Finland
Process engineers apply engineering concepts in order to improve all kinds of production and manufacturing processes in terms of efficiency and productivity. They evaluate the variables and constraints present in given processes and present engineering solutions to optimise them.
Process engineer - Which skills are essential?
The engineering elements like functionality, replicability, and costs in relation to the design and how they are applied in the completion of engineering projects.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
The steps required through which a material is transformed into a product, its development and full-scale manufacturing.
Improve production rates, efficiencies, yields, costs, and changeovers of products and processes by using relevant advanced, innovative, and cutting edge technology.
Gain, correct or improve knowledge about phenomena by using scientific methods and techniques, based on empirical or measurable observations.
Create technical designs and technical drawings using specialised software.
Drawing software and the various symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles and page layouts used in technical drawings.
Manage engineering project resources, budget, deadlines, and human resources, and plan schedules as well as any technical activities pertinent to the project.
Understand project management and the activities which comprise this area. Know the variables implied in project management such as time, resources, requirements, deadlines, and responding to unexpected events.
The systematic approach to the development and maintenance of engineering systems.
Analyse, understand and apply the information provided regarding technical conditions.
Specify technical properties of goods, materials, methods, processes, services, systems, software and functionalities by identifying and responding to the particular needs that are to be satisfied according to customer requirements.
Analyse production processes leading toward improvement. Analyse in order to reduce production losses and overall manufacturing costs.
Process engineer - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Plan, monitor and report on the budget.
Seek the advice of technical staff concerning the requirements, operation, and use of various products and systems.
Record data which has been identified specifically during preceding tests in order to verify that outputs of the test produce specific results or to review the reaction of the subject under exceptional or unusual input.
Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.
Collect samples of materials or products for laboratory analysis.
Define, in collaboration with managers and quality experts, a set of quality standards to ensure compliance with regulations and help achieve customers' requirements.
Use equipment to test performance and operation of machinery.
Maintain equipment used for testing the quality of systems and products.
Read the technical drawings of a product made by the engineer in order to suggest improvements, make models of the product or operate it.
The application of scientific and engineering theories and principles aimed at improving the environment and sustainability, such as the provision of clean habitation necessities (such as air, water, and land) for humans and other organisms, for environmental remediation in the event of pollution, sustainable energy development, and improved waste management and waste reduction methods.
Use computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of a design.
Conduct experimental, environmental and operational tests on models, prototypes or on the systems and equipment itself in order to test their strength and capabilities under normal and extreme conditions.
Discuss the project and design concepts with the design team, finalise proposals and present these to stakeholders.
Manage and plan various resources, such as human resources, budget, deadline, results, and quality necessary for a specific project, and monitor the project's progress in order to achieve a specific goal within a set time and budget.
Adhere to standards of hygiene and safety established by respective authorities.
Revise and analyse financial information and requirements of projects such as their budget appraisal, expected turnover, and risk assessment for determining the benefits and costs of the project. Assess if the agreement or project will redeem its investment, and whether the potential profit is worth the financial risk.
Develop testing protocols to enable a variety of analyses of products, systems, and components.
Label raw material/ product samples for laboratory checks, according to implemented quality system.
