Job Description

Ready to Own High-Impact Projects?

Do you thrive in process or chemical manufacturing? Do you enjoy turning tough reliability problems into elegant, compliant solutions? If you’re energized by leading facility upgrades, optimizing equipment, and teaching others how to sustain results, this role is for you.

What You’ll Lead

  • End-to-end improvement initiatives : scope, schedule, budget, and ROI calculations.
  • Design / testing cycles to refine new and legacy equipment for efficiency and reliability gains.
  • Hands-on support to maintenance and production—swift troubleshooting on mechanical, motion, and hydraulic systems.
  • Structured problem-solving with continuous improvement and root cause analysis.
  • Compliance verification to applicable codes and standards across products, systems, and processes.
  • Capital project support and documentation using TPM tools and the six-step management methodology.
  • Training plans and sessions to embed new processes and equipment safely.
  • Clear project reporting and stakeholder updates.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • 10+ years’ experience; chemical / process manufacturing strongly preferred.
  • AutoCAD expert for electrical, mechanical, and architectural drawings.
  • Advanced mechanical, motion, and hydraulic troubleshooting.
  • Fundamental troubleshooting of electrical systems, instrumentation, and PLCs.
  • Proven collaborator who gets results with cross-functional teams.

    • Nice-to-Haves

  • 3D modeling (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Navisworks).
  • Six Sigma Black Belt.
  • Background in chemical manufacturing.

    • Compensation, Travel, and Perks

  • Salary Range : $110,000 – $130,000 (based on experience, education, certifications, and skills)
  • Travel : Up to 25%
  • Benefits : Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, pet insurance, HSA / FSA, and 401(k).
  • Paid Parental Leave and Paid Volunteer Time Off.
  • Growth opportunities within a safety-first, environmentally conscious culture.

    • Additional Requirements : Successful candidates must pass a post-offer, pre-employment drug screen, physical, and background check.

    Equal Opportunity Employer – all qualified applicants will be considered without regard to disability or veteran status.
