• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including R&D, production, and quality control, to ensure seamless process integration.
• Perform process hazard analyses and implement safety measures.
• Develop and maintain process documentation, including P&IDs, process flow diagrams, and standard operating procedures.
• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance yield, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact.
• Troubleshoot process issues and provide technical support to production teams.
• Stay updated with industry trends, technologies, and best practices.
• Lead in setting safety expectations and standards for the department.
• Fully support and promote the initiatives of the Responsible Care Management System.
• Lead or participate in Preliminary Hazard Reviews, Process Hazard Analysis, and Operational Readiness Inspections.
• Lead or participate in root cause investigations of safety incidents as required.
• Lead or participate in daily tailgate meetings and SHREQ subcommittees.
• Cooperate with the production Controls Engineer and serve as a backup on DCS operation and administration.
• Support the implementation of control strategy enhancements for improved process control and efficiency.

Essential Skills:

• Bachelor of Science in Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in chemical manufacturing as a process/production engineer.
• Proficiency in conducting root cause analysis (RCCA, RCA, RCFA).
• Experience in process improvement methodologies such as Lean and Kaizen events.

Work Environment:

This position is within a specialty chemical manufacturing company focused on chemical manufacturing additives. The work environment involves working with advanced technologies and equipment in a collaborative, cross-functional team setting. The company promotes safety, innovation, and continuous improvement in a dynamic and supportive environment.
