About SepPure Technologies

SepPure Technologies is a CleanTech company developing and manufacturing chemical-resistant hollow fibre nanofiltration membranes that significantly reduce energy consumption, emissions, and solvent waste in industrial separations. Our membrane technology replaces or hybridises energy-intensive processes such as distillation and evaporation across industries including edible oils, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, solvents, and semiconductors.

We are scaling from pilot to industrial production and are looking for engineers who enjoy hands-on manufacturing, process ownership, and solving real production problems.

Role Summary

We are seeking a Production Engineer / Senior Production Engineer / Assistant Manager to support and lead the manufacturing operations of hollow fibre membranes and industrial membrane modules. This role is operations-driven, with strong emphasis on hollow fibre spinning, post-treatment at industrial scale.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing & Operations

• Own day-to-day production operations for hollow fibre spinning, post-treatment, andmodule fabrication.
• Operate, optimise, and troubleshoot hollow fibre spinning lines and downstreamprocesses.
• Support scale-up from pilot lines to industrial production.
• Improve yield, consistency, throughput, and cost through structured processoptimisation.
• Implement and maintain SOPs, work instructions, and production documentation.

Process Control & Quality

• Monitor critical process parameters (spinning, coagulation, solvent exchange, drying,potting).
• Conduct in-process quality checks and root-cause analysis for defects or performancedeviations.
• Work closely with QA/QC on fibre geometry, mechanical integrity, and moduleperformance.
• Support process validation, change management, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Equipment & Maintenance

• Work with maintenance teams on equipment reliability, preventive maintenance, andupgrades.
• Support commissioning of new production equipment and lines.
• Participate in troubleshooting mechanical, process, and material-related issues.

Safety & Compliance

• Ensure safe handling of solvents, polymers, and chemicals in production environments.
• Participate in risk assessments (RA), HAZID, HAZOP, and incident investigations.
• Maintain compliance with HSE, regulatory, and internal safety requirements.

Cross-Functional Support

• Work closely with R&D, engineering, and commercial teams to translate membranerequirements into manufacturable products.
• Support pilot trials, customer sampling, and scale-up runs when required.
• Train technicians and junior staff on production processes and best practices.

Requirements

Essential

• Minimum 3 years of experience in manufacturing / production operations, preferably in Hollow fibre membranes, polymers, fibres, films, or related continuous processes; OR Industrial chemical, materials, or process manufacturing with strong hands-on exposure.
• Strong understanding of production operations, process discipline, and productionproblem-solving.
• Comfortable working in solvent-based or chemical processing environments.
• Practical, hands-on mindset with strong ownership of outcomes.

Preferred

• Direct experience in hollow fibre membrane spinning or module fabrication.
• Experience scaling processes from pilot production to industrial-scale production.
• Exposure to polymer processing, fibre extrusion, membrane modules, or similar unitoperations.
• Ability to lead technicians and operators, and coordinate daily production activities.

Education

• Bachelor's/Master's or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related fields.
