- Create and manage internal checklists
- Review proposals and ensure all necessary information is accurate
Design and Optimize Industrial Processes
- Develop efficient and safe processes aligned with client expectations and regulations
- Ensure compliance with EU standards and sustainability goals
Process Calculations
- Perform mass balance
- Prepare datasheets and safety valve/pump calculations
- Communicate with suppliers to validate data
Create and Manage Technical Documents
- Develop, review and finalize deliverables
- Communicate with external parties to ensure alignment
Supervise BIM Modelling
- Provide input to the BIM modeller and follow up on their work
- Ensure consistency with internal guidelines
Ensure Integration with Other Disciplines
- Work closely with the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Piping) department
- Incorporate feedback and resolve technical conflicts
Identify and Develop Business Opportunities
- Spot new opportunities with existing and potential clients
Who you are:
- You hold a Master’s degree in (bio) chemical engineering or a related field combined with at least 10 years of experience in an Engineering department.
- You have a strong knowledge of PFD (Process Flow Diagram), P&ID (Piping & Instrumentation Diagram), heat & mass balance, safety valve calculations, process simulations and safety studies.
- You are experienced with Navisworks, MS Office, and process simulation tools such as AFT Arrow, Fathom, Aspen Hysys and Pipeflow.
- Experience in the pharmaceutical industry is a plus.
- You are fluent in both Dutch and English.
- You are analytical, detail-oriented and able to present technical data clearly.
- You are comfortable working both conceptually and with high precision.
- This role involves in-person meetings with clients – candidates must be located in Belgium or in short term willing to relocate.

At Polytek, you’ll be part of a supportive and forward-thinking team. We offer:
- A positive and open work culture where feedback and growth are encouraged
- Career development opportunities and involvement in large-scale, impactful projects
- The chance to work on innovative and challenging projects in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
- An encouraging salary package including a company car.
About us:
- Polytek was founded on a clear and non-negotiable principle: getting it right from the start. As engineers and builders, we’ve seen how industrial projects are too often mismanaged.
- With an advanced 3D modelling process, rigorous preparation, and extensive on-site experience, Polytek can map out industrial projects in such detail that we can confidently deliver on time and within budget.
- To steer industrial projects effectively and efficiently, we collaborate with all stakeholders and work our way through a four-step process. First, we initiate. Next we design, then we build, and finally, we operate. Always with the utmost attention to detail.
- By uniting different perspectives and skill sets, we can tackle challenges from all angles: engineering, project management, architecture, process development and innovation.
- Yes indeed, the ‘poly’ in our name is not just a play on words. It’s a reflection of who we are and what we’re capable of.
