The Role

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Process Project Engineer to manage capital improvement projects and provide direct technical support to manufacturing operations. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer with a strong background in chemical process environments. This role manages the entire project lifecycle—from scope definition to commissioning—and serves as a key technical resource for the site, driving continuous improvement by analyzing workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing existing processes to enhance safety, quality, and efficiency.

This position requires a blend of technical engineering acumen, project management discipline, and a practical, plant-floor perspective. We are hiring in Houston, TX, Rockland, MA, and Waukesha, WI.

What You"ll Be Doing Project Lifecycle Management

• Lead capital projects from initial concept and feasibility studies through design, procurement, installation, commissioning, and final documentation.
• Develop detailed project scopes, schedules, and cost estimates.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, providing regular status updates to stakeholders.

Process Optimization & Plant Support

• Analyze production data, workflows, and processes to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Develop and implement data-driven solutions to improve product quality, increase operational efficiency, and enhance process safety.
• Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives and root cause analyses for production and safety-related issues.
• Provide daily technical support to Operations and Maintenance teams to troubleshoot process upsets and ensure stable, reliable production.

Technical Design & Equipment Specification

• Read, interpret, and modify Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).
• Perform engineering calculations to size and specify process equipment, including pumps, piping, vessels, valves, and instrumentation.
• Research and identify the best available equipment and technology for specific applications.
• Ensure all designs comply with internal standards and relevant industry codes (e.g., ASME, API).

Procurement & Vendor Management

• Develop comprehensive RFQ packages for equipment and services.
• Perform technical and commercial bid analyses to select suppliers and contractors.
• Visit supplier sites to conduct equipment trials and Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs).
• Perform Site Acceptance Tests (SATs) when equipment has arrived onsite.

Construction & Contractor Management

• Vet, select, and manage on-site contractors for all installation and construction activities.
• Lead safety orientations and ensure all on-site work complies with company safety protocols (e.g., Lockout/Tagout, hot work permits).
• Ensure local, state, and federal rules and regulations are followed during construction (building permits, modification of PSM or RMP, etc.).
• Provide direct on-site supervision to ensure equipment is installed and erected according to engineering specifications and best practices.
• Commission equipment and work with operations, maintenance, and quality to ensure equipment meets design standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to create SOPs, follow MOC protocol, and provide equipment documentation as needed.

Maintenance & Reliability Integration

• Apply a "Design for Maintainability" mindset to all projects, ensuring safe and efficient access for future maintenance and repairs.
• Collaborate with Maintenance and Reliability teams to identify critical spare parts, develop preventive maintenance plans, and ensure a smooth handover of project documentation.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (Required)
• Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (Preferred)

Experience

• Minimum of 5-7 years of combined project and process engineering experience in a chemical manufacturing environment.
• Proven track record of managing cradle-to-grave capital projects from $50K to $5M+.
• Experience in process optimization, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement in a manufacturing setting.
• Direct, hands-on experience with the specification, installation, and startup of process equipment (pumps, piping, tanks, control systems).
• Experience managing and directing contractors and skilled trades.
• Experience in a maintenance or reliability role is a strong plus.
• Experience in a PSM and RMP regulated environment.

Skills & Abilities

• Strong ability to read and create P&IDs, Electrical Schematics, Construction Plans, and other technical drawings.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision-making.
• Knowledge of continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma) and root cause analysis tools.
