As our Downstream Process Development Intern, you’ll optimise lipid recovery processes, explore cost-effective DSP strategies, and gain hands-on lab experience, from data analysis to sharing results.

• Collaborate with the team to design and optimise the DSP for the production of ChoViva Butter
• Collaborate in designing and executing experiments focused on lipid extraction processes, which may involve exploring different separation techniques and equipment setups
• Conduct experiments, collect samples, and perform analytical tests to monitor and evaluate process performance
• Perform data analysis and interpretation to identify trends, optimise process parameters, and troubleshoot issues
• Support DSP activities, including technology transfer and process validation
• Maintain accurate laboratory records, prepare reports, and present findings to the team
• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or related field
• Knowledge of basic principles and concepts of fermentation, process engineering or chemistry
• Hands-on experience in a chemical or biological lab environment is required
• Experience with lipid extraction techniques (e.g., solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, membrane separation) is appreciated
• A strong familiarity with commonly used laboratory equipment in downstream processing is highly advantageous
• Attention to detail and ability to follow experimental protocols
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with ability to work effectively as part of a team NB: This internship opportunity must be linked to a mandatory internship through a university.
• Healthy, Delicious Meals: Fresh, subsidised daily lunches, along with unlimited snacks and drinks to keep you energised
