What does a process engineer do?
A process engineer is responsible for analysing, designing, improving and managing production and business processes. In practice, this means that, as a process engineer, you are constantly optimising processes to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve quality. This may involve mechanical processes in industry, chemical processes in production or logistics processes within an organisation.
Process optimisation plays a key role at many of our clients. As a process engineer, you contribute directly to the company's performance. You often work together with operators, production planners, quality managers and engineers to identify and solve bottlenecks in processes.
Key roles and responsibilities
The exact duties of a process engineer may vary by industry and employer, but broadly speaking you will be engaged in the following tasks:
- Analysing existing processes
- Designing new or improved process flows
- Testing and implementing improvements
- Reporting results and advising management
- Cooperation with various departments
- Ensuring quality, safety and sustainability in processes
- Supervising technical projects
At Euro Planit, we notice that many of our clients are specifically looking for process engineers with both technical insight and communication skills. After all, you not only have to know how a process works, but also convince colleagues of changes.
What sectors can you work in?
As a process engineer, you can work in a variety of sectors. For example:
- The food industry
- The chemical industry
- The pharmaceutical industry
- Mechanical engineering and metal industry
- Energy and environmental technology

Our clients are mostly located in the east and north of the Netherlands and operate in sectors where efficiency and innovation are key. A process engineer is often an indispensable link in these sectors.
