Process Engineer - Skincare manufacturing Process Engineer Skincare Manufacturing | Springvale | Full-time | Permanent

About Us

Synergie Skin is an Australian owned, leading manufacturer of skincare for the medical aesthetics and beauty therapy sectors. We are trusted by clinics, dermatologists, beauty professionals and end users across Australia and in more than seven international markets.

From our new manufacturing facility in Springvale, we are one of the few genuinely vertically integrated skincare businesses in the country, with manufacturing, quality, R&D;, marketing, sales and dispatch all under one roof.

Our ISO 22716 accreditation reflects the standard we hold ourselves to every day. Because we formulate and manufacture our products in house, the way we design, control and improve our manufacturing processes has a direct impact on the quality and consistency of every formula we make.

About the Role

This is a newly created role and the first dedicated engineering position within Synergie Skin, giving you the opportunity to shape how process engineering is built into our manufacturing operation from the ground up.

As our Process Engineer, you will take ownership of the processes that turn approved formulations and raw materials into consistent, reproducible products at commercial scale. You will work directly with Production, R&D;, Quality & Regulatory, Planning and Procurement, with your work visible on the production floor and in the performance of every batch we manufacture.

Your remit is both immediate and future-focused. You will improve how we manufacture today while helping design how we manufacture tomorrow, from process control and scale-up through to equipment requirements,



cleaning systems and manufacturing infrastructure.

Your primary focus will be bulk manufacturing, including mixing, emulsification, heating, cooling, transfer and cleaning systems, with broader involvement across filling, packaging and manufacturing support.

Because we manufacture in house, this is not an engineering role removed from the product. You will be close to the formulation, the equipment and the people making it, with real scope to influence how the operation develops as the business grows.

If you are the kind of engineer who likes getting into the detail, solving the real cause of problems and leaving a process better than you found it, this role will give you plenty to get your hands on.

What You’ll Do

Take engineering ownership of bulk manufacturing processes and define clear operating parameters and process standards

Work on the production floor to understand how products are actually made, identify sources of variability and reduce unnecessary dependence on operator judgement

Translate recipes, historical knowledge and practical know-how into controlled, repeatable manufacturing processes and work instructions

Partner with R&D; and Quality to scale current formulations from laboratory methods into reliable commercial manufacturing processes

Improve process performance across mixing, agitation, high-shear homogenisation, powder dispersion, heating,



cooling, transfer and bulk holding

Lead structured root-cause analysis of recurring deviations, rejects, rework and process instability, and implement permanent engineering controls

Improve right-first-time performance, yield, cycle time, changeover time and overall process capability

Develop and maintain process flow diagrams, process descriptions, engineering documentation and manufacturing routings

Define process requirements for CIP, COP and manual cleaning, and identify opportunities to improve cleanability, water and chemical use and cross-contamination control

Support process utilities including purified water, heating, cooling and compressed air where they directly affect manufacturing performance

Define equipment requirements, prepare user requirement specifications and evaluate supplier proposals against process needs

Lead or support FAT, SAT, installation, commissioning, start-up and qualification activities for new equipment

Provide process engineering support to filling and packaging where line performance, equipment settings or the bulk-to-fill interface require technical input

Build safety, GMP, cleanability, ergonomics and maintainability into process and equipment design

Train production teams on the technical intent behind critical process parameters so important knowledge is embedded in systems, not individuals

About You

You are a practical engineer who is just as comfortable on the manufacturing floor as you are working through process data, specifications and technical documentation.

You know how to challenge the way something has always been done while bringing the people who need
