Process engineering and scale-up internships — pilot-plant trials, process optimisation, equipment scale-up, and tech-transfer documentation.
What is a Process Engineering & Scale-Up Internship?
This internship gives you visibility into how a lab-scale process becomes a pilot-scale and then commercial-scale operation. You see the engineering judgement calls, equipment selection, and documentation that bridge research and manufacturing.
What you will do
Shadow pilot-plant trials for representative products or unit operations
Track process variables — yield, throughput, energy, cycle time — across runs
Assist with mass / heat balance calculations and basic equipment sizing
Participate in tech-transfer documentation (process flow diagrams, batch records)
Contribute to a process-optimisation or scale-up assessment report
What you take away
NTHRYS internship certificate documenting process / scale-up scope
Practical understanding of pilot-to-commercial scale-up workflows
Engineering documentation literacy valued by manufacturing employers
A strong profile for production engineer, tech transfer, and process scientist roles
