Responsibilities

• Spend time on production lines developing understanding of all unit operations to provide technical support for production, maintenance, quality, and process improvement engineering.
• Execute capital projects that support improved safety, new product launches, existing product expansions, improved efficiencies/throughput, and increased reliability.
• Identify line process and packaging equipment barriers to meet nameplate capacities and resolve to provide stable operations (equipment, instrumentation, operator interaction/control, etc.).
• Conduct root-cause failure analysis for failed machine components with emphasis on repetitive failures, working closely with Maintenance and Reliability department.
• Deliver technical training to operating teams on equipment and processes.
• Support Product Line Supervisors to investigate, resolve, and document all process related issues using data archive system and operation tracking tools.
• Develop and implement engineering standards across the plant that improve machine reliability.
• Identify areas of waste related to utilities, product, and packaging materials and implement projects to reduce these costs. 

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or a related field
• 3 months of experience or a 3-credit university-level course(s) with:

• Thermodynamics or heat conduction
• Process safety
• Plant design
