  • Contribute to continuous improvement, capital project ideas, and long-term asset performance

What We’re Looking For:

  • Background in chemical engineering or closely related process engineering work

  • Hands-on experience in a chemical manufacturing, processing, or plant production environment

  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to work closely with plant teams and translate ideas into practical improvements

  • Interest in both daily process optimization and longer-term process development

This is a strong opportunity for a practical, improvement-minded engineer who enjoys solving problems, working with operations, and making a measurable impact in a high-demand manufacturing environment.

Apply today to take the next step in your chemical engineering career.
