Facility Process Engineer

AMP is hiring a Facility Process Engineer reporting to the Process Engineering Manager who can be 100% ONSITE in AMP’s newest single stream facility in Commerce City, Colorado.

The primary objective of this role will be the timely execution of commission and ramp responsibilities - leading to the standardized and reliable operation of the Denver, Colorado facility. After successfully meeting contractually obligated performance requirements, the role will pivot to a reliability focus, acting as the on-ground AMP technology and process subject matter expert for commercial, engineering, and operations groups.

This role will be responsible for empowering onsite resources to consistently meet production KPIs through AMP technology training, facility configuration optimization, regular facility software updates, and proactive + continuous performance monitoring.

The ideal candidate will have a diverse background in process engineering and/or field engineering, experience performing facility scale validation testing, a history of working with production operators, and demonstrated examples of data-backed decision making in a process engineering environment. The candidate should also have hands‑on experience with mechanical equipment, hydraulics, motors & other rotating equipment. Any experience with industrial robotics, preventative maintenance, or reliability engineering is also considered transferable.
