  • Provide operational assumptions and technical input for feasibility studies and pro forma analysis
  • Interface with third-party vendors, engineering firms, and technical service providers as required
Qualifications & Experience

  • 7+ years experience working within ethanol recovery, solvent recovery, distillation, industrial wastewater, specialty chemicals, fuels, or related process operations is a plus
  • 5+ years supervising or directing hourly plant operators in an industrial environment
  • 5+ years with strong hands-on process troubleshooting and operational problem-solving experience (i.e. maintenance & reliability with boilers, cooling towers, distillation systems, heat exchangers, compressors, pumps, etc.)
  • Experience coordinating maintenance activities and supporting daily plant reliability
  • Experience supporting continuous improvement initiatives and plant optimization efforts
  • Strong understanding of plant safety, process discipline, and operational procedures
  • Ability to operate independently with strong ownership and accountability
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on industrial plant environment with regular floor presence
Preferred Experience
  • Exposure to ethanol distillation, solvent recovery, wastewater treatment, fermentation, organics processing, biogas, RNG, or industrial liquids treatment systems
  • Experience evaluating new process systems or operational expansion opportunities
  • Experience working with outside engineering firms, vendors, and third-party technical providers
  • Background supporting smaller or mid-sized industrial facilities with cross-functional operational responsibilities
  • Working knowledge of maintenance and reliability programs
  • Certifications: Six Sigma, DACOM Analysis, or related industrial/process improvement certifications preferred
  • Bilingual Spanish speaker is a plus
Technical Skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel
  • Experience utilizing standard industrial reporting and operational systems
Why Work Here
  • Unique hybrid role supporting both daily plant operations and future capital technology initiatives
  • Direct ownership of critical live industrial processes influencing operational strategy, process improvements, and long-term growth projects
  • Exposure to emerging technologies including anaerobic digestion, biomethane, and industrial liquids recovery
  • Broad operational scope across maintenance & reliability, process optimization, and continuous improvement
  • High autonomy role with visibility to VP and C-level leadership
  • Strong career progression potential within a growing and evolving operation
