INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SOLUTION ARCHITECT

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SOLUTION ARCHITECT Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Employment type: Full-time Workplace: On-site / Customer Sites Indicative salary: AED 24,000–35,000 per month Travel: UAE and GCC 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 & 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐄 Palomba General Trading LLC is seeking an experienced Industrial Process Solution Architect to support technically complex manufacturing projects across the UAE and wider GCC. The role is designed for someone capable of entering a customer facility, understanding the manufacturing process, identifying the real production problem and translating it into a structured technical brief for specialist equipment manufacturers and engineering teams. This is not a conventional sales, product-management or design-engineering position. The role sits between: • customer discovery; • process engineering; • application engineering; • industrial problem solving; • technical-commercial qualification. 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 Industrial customers rarely begin with a perfect technical specification. They usually begin with statements such as: • “Our batches are inconsistent.” • “We need more capacity.” • “Cleaning takes too long.” • “We lose product during transfer.” • “The powder does not blend properly.” • “We need another mixer.” • “We need to automate the line.” The Industrial Process Solution Architect must determine what the real process problem is before a machine, configuration or technology is proposed. The role therefore begins with: process discovery and ends with: an engineering-ready problem definition. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 • Conduct structured customer process-discovery meetings. • Visit manufacturing facilities. • Map existing production processes. • Identify operational bottlenecks. • Identify quality and consistency issues. • Analyse current equipment. • Understand material behaviour. • Define target process outcomes. • Identify missing technical data. • Prepare engineering-ready application briefs. • Coordinate technical handover to equipment manufacturers. • Support selection of relevant technology families. • Evaluate alternative process approaches. • Support trials and pilot-work planning. • Assist with technical RFQ development. • Support project-scoping meetings. • Coordinate multidisciplinary technical discussions. • Maintain process-discovery documentation. • Support commercial teams during complex technical opportunities. • Help identify adjacent improvement opportunities within the same production line. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 The role should be capable of structuring customer discussions around six fundamental areas. 1. Product • What is being manufactured? • What are the raw materials? • What are the phases? • What is the solids content? • What is the viscosity? • What is the bulk density? • Is the product temperature-sensitive? • Is it shear-sensitive? 2. Current Process • What equipment is currently used? • What is the process sequence? • Where is the bottleneck? • What is not working? • What has changed? 3. Target Output • Required throughput • Batch size • Homogeneity • Particle size • Texture • Stability • Yield • Cycle time 4. Hygiene & Containment • CIP / SIP • Dry cleaning • Allergen changeover • cGMP • Dust containment • ATEX • Product-contact requirements 5. Site & Integration • Utilities • Available footprint • Feeding • Discharge • Controls • Upstream equipment • Downstream equipment 6. Project Reality • New line or retrofit? • Budget stage • Project timing • Decision makers • Trial requirements • FAT requirements • Validation requirements This structure directly reflects the technical qualification discipline already defined for PGT industrial projects.
