Process Engineer

Location: Plant-based position located at the Carbon Cycle North Carolina facility in Warsaw, North Carolina

Job: Process Engineer

Carbon Cycle North Carolina LLC is seeking a hands‑on Process Engineer to support safe, reliable, and efficient biomethane production at its anaerobic digestion and renewable natural gas facility in Warsaw, North Carolina. This role provides front‑line engineering support, leads diagnostic troubleshooting and corrective actions, and drives continuous improvement in plant equipment, process systems, instrumentation and controls, and operating practices.

As global industries face increasing pressure to decarbonize, renewable natural gas (RNG) is emerging as a practical and scalable solution. C2NC is building the infrastructure to support that transition - turning overlooked resources into clean energy while prioritizing transparency, environmental integrity, and operational precision. Here’s how we’re moving forward.

C2NC develops and operates industrial‑scale anaerobic digestion facilities that transform organic byproducts into pipeline‑grade renewable natural gas. These facilities not only reduce methane emissions but also offer a sustainable, circular alternative to traditional energy sourcing. Our flagship site in Warsaw, NC is one of the largest of its kind in the Southeast - and it’s just the beginning.

The Warsaw facility receives agricultural and organic feed stocks, produces pipeline‑quality renewable natural gas, manages digestate, and treats process wastewater through an on‑site membrane bioreactor system.

The Process Engineer serves a key role within Technical Operations by providing front‑line engineering knowledge, diagnostic and troubleshooting leadership, and implementation of corrective actions for the plant operations team. The position drives continuous improvement in plant equipment systems, instrumentation and control systems, and operating practices to enhance operational stability, plant availability, equipment reliability, and production output.

• Support the Plant Manager in engineering and technical aspects of Warsaw plant operations.
• Maintain a strong hands‑on presence in the plant, including troubleshooting, process evaluation, equipment inspection, and implementation of corrective actions.
• Develop subject matter expertise in plant process technology, equipment, and operations and maintenance best practices.
• Define and monitor critical operating parameters and statistical control limits for plant process systems.
• Maintain engineering document master files, technical records, drawings, and related documentation.
• Provide rapid‑response troubleshooting for mechanical equipment and chemical or biochemical process upsets.
• Define and apply operational excellence tools and performance standards that establish what good looks like.
• Implement physical and procedural changes that improve plant availability, equipment reliability, process stability, and production output.
• Drive continuous improvement of engineered systems, the operations and maintenance knowledge base, standard operating procedures, and training.
• Support research and development of plant process‑system performance upgrades and stability controls.
• Provide technical leadership and cross‑training for plant technical, operations, and maintenance personnel.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering required; chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical engineering preferred.
• Mechanical and hands‑on experience with tools, machines, and industrial equipment.
• Experience applying critical‑thinking and problem‑solving skills in a technical or industrial setting.

• Ability to troubleshoot mechanical equipment and chemical or…
