Process Developer Protein

Friesland Campina has a strong position in the processing of dairy proteins. To strengthen our process technology R&D team, we are looking for an experienced Process Developer with a solid background in proteins. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between pilot-scale trials and commercial production of dairy protein products including casein and whey proteins and to develop and improve our existing production processes. This role is based in our department of Global Process Technology at our Innovation Center in Wageningen.

Process Developer Protein

What we ask

  • A master's degree in Food Process Technology; or a background in (Bio-)Chemical Engineering or Process Technology with at least 5 years of experience in process development for protein processing; or a demonstratable equivalent level of education. Having a PhD degree is preferred.
  • Experience in the execution of upscaling and downscaling trials at pilot plant or plant scale is a must. Having a solid foundation in unit operations commonly used in protein processing is highly desired.
  • Excellent communication skills for reporting, presenting, and communication with colleagues and external stakeholders. Excellent English communication skills required. Good Dutch communication skills are a pre.
  • Experience in innovation and cross-functional collaboration, involving (dairy) proteins. Good in building effective collaborations with internal and external stakeholders in research, technology, and new product development.
  • Experience with systematic approach of process development (for instance DoE and QBD) and systematic problem-solving attitude (preferably experience with RCA).

What we offer

  • Unique company culture of Dutch heritage and international presence.
  • We offer great work life balance, and competitive salary & benefits package so you can enjoy it. Workweek of 40 hours, competitive pension scheme, holiday allowance of 8%, bonus scheme, flexible working hours and the ability to work hybrid.
  • Diverse training and mentoring programs to help you grow on your own professional journey.
  • A friendly and informal working environment, yet professional team members as sparring partners. Autonomy and trust to create longer term impact that helps bring better nutrition to the world.

Staying true to who you really are, that is your starting point at FrieslandCampina. Because it is precisely by embracing our differences that we can grow together. We want to create a working environment that allows all employees to bring their best and authentic selves. If who we are suits you, but you're not sure if you're the best fit for the role, we still encourage you to apply so we can help you find the role that fits you best.

You will be part of Friesland Campina's R&D organization, based in Wageningen. You will join the Cluster for Structuring Technology, Preservation & Cleaning. In this role, you will intensively collaborate with members of the other clusters in Global Process Technology, including experts on separation, purification, evaporation, drying, and modeling.
