Process Engineer
Supernormal Greens AB (publ) · Tibro · Tills vidare
Supernormal Greens AB (publ) is recruiting a **Process Engineer** to join its vertical farming and production facility in Tibro. This is a full-time, permanent position with an initial probationary period, working normally between 07:00 and 16:00. The post is **primarily on-site** with some remote flexibility when tasks permit, though some supplier travel and busier periods during commissioning may occur. Working across production, maintenance, quality, and R&D, the engineer will optimize the post-harvest process—encompassing washing, cryogenic freezing, freeze-drying, milling, and packing. Core duties involve planning trials, troubleshooting alongside operators, supporting factory and site acceptance tests (FAT/SAT), commissioning equipment, establishing operating instructions, and assisting with preventive maintenance. Applicants must hold a **relevant engineering degree or equivalent** competence gained through experience, alongside a few years of technical experience close to industrial production. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to use data and trials to investigate problems, solve issues, and deliver improvements. Fluency in English, both spoken and written, is required, while proficiency in Swedish is considered an advantage. Prior background in freezing, freeze-drying, milling, or packing within food or process manufacturing is desirable, as is experience with equipment ramp-up, supplier collaboration, root cause analysis, or maintenance development.
Why this role
Want to build and improve an industrial process, hands-on? At Supernormal Greens, we’re building the journey from harvested plants to finished botanical ingredients. Now we’re looking for an engineer who wants to understand that process inside out and make it work better.
Our post-harvest process covers washing, cryogenic freezing, frozen storage, freeze-drying, milling and packing. You’ll join while we’re developing and commissioning it, with plenty to test, understand and improve.
Your job is easy to describe: help the process deliver more, with the right quality and a stable operation. You’ll work closely with production, maintenance, quality and R&D, and have a real say in the equipment and ways of working.
What you will do
- Get to know the process. Understand how each step works, where we lose capacity or yield, and what could run better.
- Test your ideas. Plan trials, use the data and check which changes actually improve performance.
- Work close to the equipment. Team up with operators and technicians to solve problems and find their root causes.
- Help bring new equipment into production. Work with suppliers on requirements, factory and site acceptance tests (FAT/SAT), installation and commissioning.
- Make improvements last. Put instructions, documentation and maintenance requirements in place as equipment moves into stable production.
- Share what you learn. Develop standard ways of working, support operator training and work with maintenance on preventive and operator maintenance.
Post-harvest is your main focus. You’ll also work with our Cultivation Technology Specialist and occasionally help with other technical projects.
Priorities are agreed with your manager.
What you will bring (must-haves)
- A relevant engineering degree or equivalent competence gained through experience.
- A few years of technical experience close to industrial production, with examples of problems solved or improvements delivered.
- The ability to use data and trials to investigate problems and evaluate results.
- A structured, practical approach and the ability to move work forward together with colleagues.
- Good spoken and written English for supplier and team collaboration and technical documentation. Swedish is an advantage.
Bonus (nice-to-haves)
- Experience with freezing, freeze-drying, milling or packing, preferably in food or process manufacturing.
- Involvement in equipment installation, commissioning or production ramp-up.
- Experience working with suppliers, root cause analysis, standard work or maintenance development.
