Modelling & Simulation is the virtual testing of the products and applications as well as simulation and optimisation of polymer flow behaviour in conversion processes  by using computer-based technologies, Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) Models, FEM Analysis, and other techniques.

The jobholder is responsible to lead the modelling and simulation team for Borouge Innovation to support the research and development of products, material testing, customer technical support and to ensure efficient, timely and cost-optimised testing solutions.

This role includes managing of the modelling and simulation team and the use of related techniques for the polyolefin industry while applying Borouge core technologies. The job holder thoroughly evaluates and improves the polyolefin processing (Borstar and conversion) as well as the structure property relations of the final polyolefin products (material science) by applying modelling and simulation in polymer research (determination of physical properties) to design optimal production processes, optimal layout of customer applications and conversion technologies (Moldflow). Thus he/she enables a significant increase in speed of Borouge innovations and developments to optimise time-to-market and product development costs. Furthermore, the modelling & simulation manager proactively scouts and reports new technology trends and opportunities in his/her field and guarantee that Borouge technology represents highest industry standards.
