Process Facility Design Lead – Industrial Bakery Capital Projects

Shape the next generation of bakery manufacturing

Picture a typical week: you start in our Salt Lake City hybrid office, reviewing plant layout revisions and updating standards. Mid-week, you’re on-site at a U.S. Bridor bakery, walking the floor with project managers and process SMEs to validate equipment spacing and sanitation clearances. You end the week on a video call with colleagues in France and Holland, aligning design decisions for a new line and capturing real-time feedback for commissioning.

• Steward a centralized, living design database for new and existing production lines, ensuring drawings, standards, and specifications are current and controlled.
• Translate operational needs into robust layouts and technical packages; organize specifications and design selections to support capital projects.
• Produce and manage technical drawings, design standards, and written design rationales; maintain consistency across multi-site initiatives.
• Partner with project managers, process engineers, and subject matter experts to resolve constraints and keep schedules on track.
• Support equipment installation and commissioning, incorporating on-the-ground feedback to optimize sanitary, maintainable designs.
• Ensure compliance with Bridor standards, FSQA requirements, HACCP principles, and clean design best practices.
