Process Engineer/Manufacturing Engineer

BrainWorks
Pittsburgh, PA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026
We are working with a specialized manufacturing company seeking a hands-on Process / Manufacturing Engineer to support and improve continuous coating and converting operations.

This is a fully on-site, plant-based role for someone who wants to be close to the work, not behind a desk. You’ll spend your time on the floor, working directly with operators, troubleshooting real-time issues, and improving how materials perform in production.

What You’ll Do

  • Support and improve continuous coating and converting processes
  • Troubleshoot production challenges across materials, equipment, and process conditions
  • Work with resin-based systems (epoxy, phenolic, polyester, and custom blends)
  • Partner closely with operations, maintenance, and quality teams
  • Lead trials, process improvements, and new product introductions
  • Develop and refine process standards and best practices
  • Drive improvements in safety, quality, and efficiency on the floor

What We’re Looking For

  • Background in Process Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering
  • Experience in a production environment (coatings, paper, plastics, films, composites, or similar)
  • Hands-on, practical approach to troubleshooting and continuous improvement
  • Comfortable working on-site and on the plant floor daily
  • Curiosity around how materials behave in real-world production

Direct coatings or resin experience is a plus, but not required.

Location & Relocation

This role is based in Bedford County, PA and requires relocation.

Relocation assistance is provided.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to step into a different pace of life. Bedford County offers:

  • Space, privacy, and the ability to own land or acreage
  • A strong sense of community and independence
  • Easy access to the outdoors, with mountains, trails, and open space
  • Lower cost of living compared to larger metro areas

You can build a meaningful career in manufacturing while enjoying a lifestyle rooted in small communities, open space, and a slower, more intentional pace of life.
