Chemical Process Engineer

Prohead Engineering provides excellent multidisciplinary engineering services to support a high-performing and safe industry.

At Prohead Engineering, we specialise in:

• Chemical process technology and process safety;
• Electromechanical production lines and automation;
• Utilities and energy markets;

Prohead Engineering is a growing company where your development is central. We work together on our projects because their innovative and complex nature requires depth. As a result, everyone works on several (5–7) projects at the same time, alongside (more) experienced colleagues, draughtsmen and top experts. We do all this from our attractive offices (and courtyard garden) in Meerbeke (no outsourcing).

What’s more, our clients are diverse: (petro)chemicals, Seveso companies, food, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, … mostly major players with high-risk processes where top-level engineering is a must.

This makes our work important, varied, challenging and educational. As a result, you’ll have more opportunities for development, and we’re proud of that.
