Job Description

The primary result expected from the Process Engineer is to control internal processes to manufacture products by defining and analyzing the manufacturing process of both milling and filling operations for improvement in quality, safety, and efficiency, and creating, improving, and maintaining manufacturing Process Instructions (PI) and salvage/rework integration.

Typical tasks for this position include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Develop safety procedures to be employed by workers operating equipment or working in close proximity to on-going chemical reactions.
• Troubleshoot problems with chemical manufacturing processes.
• Evaluate chemical equipment and processes to identify ways to optimize performance or to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
• Conduct research to develop new and improved chemical manufacturing processes.
• Determine most effective arrangement of operations such as mixing, crushing, heat transfer, distillation, and drying.
• Perform tests and monitor performance of processes throughout stages of production to determine degree of control over variables such as temperature, density, specific gravity, and pressure.
• Design and plan layout of equipment.
• Prepare estimate of production costs and production progress reports for management.
• Design measurement and control systems for chemical plants based on data collected in laboratory experiments and in pilot plant operations.
• Develop processes to separate components of liquids or gases or generate electrical currents using controlled chemical processes.

Required

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering with hands-on chemical experience.
• Good process management, written and verbal communication skills are required along with a high level of initiative.
• Demonstrated strong leadership skills, in project and people management in a continuous improvement environment in the areas of production, safety, quality and Lean manufacturing principles.
