Job Description

Job Description

Engineer Reliability. Elevate Performance. Protect People and Planet.

Our mission is to run safe, high-quality, compliant operations while unlocking throughput and efficiency. As a senior mechanical leader in a process or chemical manufacturing environment, you’ll architect improvements to equipment and facilities, mentor teams, and institutionalize continuous improvement.

Imagine This

A line is losing uptime to intermittent hydraulic faults. You convene maintenance, operations, and quality, deploy root cause analysis, model solutions in AutoCAD, validate impacts, and present a capital plan with ROI. Within weeks, you implement changes, train the crew, and confirm compliance to governing codes and standards—downtime drops, operators are safer, and quality stabilizes.

Role Highlights

  • Lead manufacturing and facility upgrade projects with clear scope, budget control, and ROI accountability.
  • Design, test, and iterate on machinery to boost efficiency and reliability.
  • Tackle mechanical, motion, and hydraulic issues; guide maintenance and production teams on durable fixes.
  • Apply continuous improvement and root cause analysis to prevent recurrence of failures.
  • Ensure adherence to all applicable codes and standards for products, systems, and processes.
  • Develop capital project documentation using TPM tools and the six-step management methodology.
  • Deliver training to embed new equipment and processes safely and effectively.
  • Provide transparent, routine status reports to stakeholders.

What Sets You Up for SuccessRequired

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience, preferably in chemical or process manufacturing.
  • Expert AutoCAD capability spanning electrical, mechanical, and architectural drawings.
  • Advanced troubleshooting of mechanical, motion, and hydraulic systems.
  • Baseline troubleshooting for electrical systems, instrumentation devices, and PLCs.
  • Demonstrated success collaborating across functions to deliver results.
  • Preferred

  • 3D CAD exposure (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Navisworks).
  • Six Sigma Black Belt credential.
  • Background in chemical manufacturing.
  • Compensation & Benefits

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