What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Process Engineer position at Helion?
Utilities Project Engineer
We are hiring a Utilities Project Engineer to support a major utility infrastructure upgrade inside a high-volume manufacturing facility in Arlington, TN.
This role will focus on large-scale glycol/process cooling systems, mechanical utility improvements, equipment reliability, and system optimization tied to plant expansion and long-term capacity growth.
The engineer stepping into this position will work directly with plant maintenance, operations, automation, and project teams to identify deficiencies, improve system performance, and help drive execution of multiple ongoing utility projects already in motion.
This is a highly visible, hands-on engineering role focused on real-world system functionality — not sitting behind a desk producing drawings all day.
What You’ll Work On
- Glycol and closed-loop process cooling systems
- Pumps, valves, piping systems, and heat exchangers
- Utility infrastructure upgrades and reliability improvements
- Flow validation, contamination prevention, and system protection
- Mechanical troubleshooting and process optimization
- Startup, commissioning, and project execution support
- Reviewing P&IDs, contractor scope changes, and system modifications
- Working cross-functionally with maintenance, operations, and controls teams
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of engineering experience in industrial or process manufacturing environments
- Strong understanding of closed-loop fluid systems and industrial utilities
- Experience with pumps, heat exchangers, valves, piping systems, flow, and process equipment
- Ability to troubleshoot and solve real-world mechanical/process problems
- Comfortable working directly on the plant floor with maintenance and operations teams
- Experience supporting projects, startups, or utility/process system upgrades
Strongly Preferred Backgrounds
- Food & Beverage
- Chemical
- Industrial Manufacturing
- Utilities
- Pulp & Paper
- Pharma
- Heavy process industries
Experience with glycol systems is helpful, but not required. Engineers with strong utility/process systems experience involving chilled water, steam, boilers, cooling systems, or industrial fluid systems are highly transferable.
Compensation
- $70–90/hr
- Overtime eligibility available
Salary : $70 - $90
