Project Engineer

The Project Engineer exists to design, lead, and commission complex gas systems that power semiconductor and specialty gas operations — safely, efficiently, and at the leading edge of technical possibility.

This role supports plant reliability, expansion, regulatory compliance, and innovation. The engineer will translate technical complexity into operational reality, ensuring systems are designed correctly from day one and successfully transitioned to plant operations.

This is not a maintenance role. It is a front-end system design and execution leadership position often building from a blank sheet of paper and carrying ownership through startup and turnover.

This role is foundational within the engineering structure. Career progression may include:

• Senior Project Engineer
  

• Engineering Manager (Plant Level)
  

• Director-level engineering leadership (based on performance and experience)
  

Experience and demonstrated capability determine the scope of project complexity.

A global leader in industrial gasses and engineering, with $33B in annual revenue. The company supports critical industries including semiconductor manufacturing, medical systems, and specialty gas applications.

In this environment, engineering is never static. The semiconductor market continues to push technological boundaries and engineers operate at the front edge of that evolution.

Based on hiring manager insights and engineering team structure:

• Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.
  

• Action-oriented; moves problems forward rather than documenting them.
  

• Creative problem solver who anticipates failure modes before they occur.
  

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity with incomplete data.
  

• Strong communicator capable of translating complex systems into operational clarity.
  

• Demonstrates operational discipline and regulatory awareness.
  

• Thrives in interdisciplinary team environments.
  

• Capable of independent technical decision-making.
  

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Chemical preferred; Mechanical acceptable with process exposure).
  

• Experience with process design in industrial systems (distillation, gas handling, purification preferred).
  

• CAD proficiency (AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks).
  

• Working knowledge of regulatory compliance (EPA, FDA, electrical codes).
  

• Experience in controls philosophy development and system commissioning.
  

• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite.
  

Military Equivalents (Strongly Considered):

• Navy Nuclear (Engineering or Reactor background)
  

• Marine Corps / Army Engineer Officers
  

• Chemical, Mechanical, or Utilities Officers
  

• Senior NCOs with Engineering Technology degrees and plant/process experience
