Engineering consulting for pharma and process manufacturing in Ireland
Prochem Engineering is a mid-sized consulting firm focused on process and building services engineering for pharmaceutical and process-industry clients. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward mid and senior engineering roles (16 of 19 open positions), with active recruitment in Ireland and Canada, suggesting capacity building to handle expansion in project delivery. Their tech stack is conservative—Microsoft Project, Excel, SAP, SQL, C#, Python—reflecting a project-driven consulting operation rather than a product-software company.
