ABOUT THE ROLE

VALiNTRY is seeking an experienced Senior Process Engineer to lead process optimization, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement within a chemical manufacturing environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who understands what happens on the production floor, can identify the root cause of process problems, and can translate engineering analysis into measurable improvements in throughput, efficiency, quality, reliability, and cost.

You’ll work closely with production, maintenance, quality, EHS, and engineering teams to improve existing manufacturing processes while supporting overall plant performance and operational excellence.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead process optimization and continuous improvement initiatives
• Troubleshoot manufacturing and chemical process issues
• Identify root causes of process deviations, bottlenecks, and production losses
• Improve throughput, yield, efficiency, quality, and operating costs
• Analyze process data and develop practical engineering solutions
• Support process changes, equipment upgrades, and capital projects
• Partner with production and maintenance teams to improve equipment and process reliability
• Develop and maintain process documentation, procedures, and technical standards
• Support safe operations and environmental and regulatory compliance

ESSENTIAL SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Strong chemical or process engineering background
• Hands-on experience in a chemical manufacturing or process manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated success improving manufacturing processes
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis capabilities
• Experience with process optimization, efficiency, yield, throughput, and quality improvements
• Ability to analyze plant and process data and turn findings into actionable improvements
• Strong understanding of manufacturing safety and process controls
• Ability to work effectively with operators, maintenance personnel, engineers, and plant leadership

DESIRABLE

• Chemical Engineering degree
• Experience with batch chemical processing
• Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, DOE, SPC, or other continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience supporting capital projects and equipment upgrades
• Process safety or PSM experience
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or serving as a technical lead

WHAT MAKES A GREAT FIT

We’re looking for someone who isn't simply an engineer on paper. You should be comfortable getting into the process, asking questions, looking at the data, working with operators, and figuring out why something isn't performing the way it should.

The strongest candidates will combine deep technical knowledge with the ability to solve real manufacturing problems and communicate practical solutions across the organization.

COMPENSATION

The salary range for this position is $120,000 to $155,000 per year. Candidates who bring additional technical capabilities that create value across the organization may be considered above this range.
