DryGro is an agriculture technology company working to revolutionise the market for animal feed protein. Today, most animal feed protein comes from soybean meal. Most of the world’s soybeans are grown in the US, Brazil, and Argentina. Protein demand is increasing, but the land required to grow soybeans is scarce. What got us through the 20th century won’t get us through the 21st. We need better, more sustainable alternatives. Founded at Oxford University in 2015, DryGro is developing cutting-edge growing systems to grow a soybean meal replacement crop called Lemna. This technology builds upon recent advancements in vertical farming and horticulture systems, and allows for efficient, reliable production.
Description
The Process Engineer is a key team member who supports DryGro’s downstream processing R&D workflow. The successful candidate will assist in the development, optimisation, and scaling up of our plant protein ingredient processing, working alongside our engineering, plant science, food science, and analytics team.
This role is fast-paced and highly collaborative, requiring critical thinking skills and proactive problem solving. You will be based at our pilot facility in Naivasha, Kenya. You get to take a hands-on approach to working with DryGro’s technology, working closely with emerging plant-protein extraction technologies to ensure that we successfully bring our new ingredient to market. The Process Engineer is expected to be enthusiastic, ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that come with working in a start-up.
