Process Engineer

Drive real change on the plant floor — where data meets action.

Our client, a high-performance manufacturer committed to operational excellence, is seeking a Process Engineer to lead continuous improvement initiatives across production operations. This is a hands‑on technical role for someone who moves fast, digs into data, and translates findings into measurable process gains.

• Lead root cause analysis and countermeasure implementation to reduce downtime, improve throughput, and drive sustainable cost reductions
• Design, test, and upgrade manufacturing systems and processes using data‑driven methodologies (Lean, Kaizen, TPM, Six Sigma)
• Develop and maintain best practices and standardized routines to improve output quality and production rates

• Build and refine data collection systems; analyze output to deliver actionable insights to department managers
• Interpret production metrics and present findings clearly to cross‑functional teams and senior leadership
• Use tools like Excel and Minitab to support statistical analysis and process capability studies

• Collaborate with Project Engineers on capital project planning and execution
• Develop project justifications and cost‑benefit analyses for capital requests
• Provide informed feedback during new business quoting and annual budgeting cycles

• Partner with Quality, Maintenance, and Operations to implement and monitor process changes driven by customer requirements
• Support the Commercialization team on new product/process launches
• Train team members on new processes and commissioning of new equipment

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related field (or equivalent industry experience)
• 3–5 years of process improvement experience in a manufacturing environment — food packaging or similar high-volume production preferred
• Working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, GMPs, HACCP, SQF, and 5S
• Proficiency in Excel and Minitab; MS Office Suite required
• Strong analytical mindset — you define the problem, collect the data, draw valid conclusions, and drive the fix

• Direct impact: your work drives measurable cost reduction, safety, and throughput improvements — not just recommendations
• Exposure to capital project execution and new business quoting gives you a commercial lens most process roles don't offer
• High-performance operating system (HPS) environment — structured, metric-driven, and built for people who want to sustain change, not just launch it
• Growth-oriented organization investing in process infrastructure
