The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Process Engineer to join our Paper Mill Division. Reporting to the Senior Technical Strategies & Solutions Manager, this full-time, on-site role serves as the technical authority for the full fiber-to-reel process across three Ontario paper mills. This is a hands‑on senior individual contributor position focused on improving throughput, stabilizing quality, reducing cost-per-ton, and translating multi-site strategic initiatives into measurable mill‑floor results.

The successful candidate will work on‑site across the Ontario mill network, traveling between locations based on production priorities, trials, and operational needs. This role requires strong floor presence, technical depth, and the flexibility to support trials, startups, grade transitions, and significant production events, including extended or after‑hours work when needed.

What You’ll Do

Process Ownership — Fiber to Reel

• Own process performance from stock prep to reel across all three Ontario mills
• Lead network-level troubleshooting for runnability issues, sheet defects, breaks, and grade changes
• Maintain mass, water, and energy balances across stock prep, wet end, and ETP operations, including upstream impacts on aerobic and anaerobic treatment
• Optimize process control loops, including tuning, PID configuration, cascade and feed‑forward strategies, and DCS performance
• Lead root cause investigations into chronic losses and implement engineered countermeasures to prevent recurrence
• Embed solutions through standard work, controls, and systems that sustain gains across shifts and grade changes

Standardization & Operational Excellence

• Standardize and audit process parameters, operating windows, and control setpoints across the three mills
• Lead process work streams for corporate-sponsored, multi-site initiatives across the Ontario network
• Author and maintain SOPs, control narratives, and trial protocols for network use
• Align best practices across mills where grade mix and equipment allow.
• Provide technical coverage for site process engineers during vacancies, absences, or capability gaps

Trial Design & Optimization

• Design, execute, and report mill trials using DOE with defined success criteria, controls, and go/no‑go decisions
• Partner with Quality to protect sheet integrity and downstream customer performance during trials
• Quantify trial results in OEE, cost-per-ton, and grade capability, and present recommendations in weekly leadership review
• Support commissioning, startup ramp‑up, and validation of capital projects against target performance

Data-Driven Performance

• Use historian, lab, and DCS data to identify and prioritize high-ROI improvement opportunities
• Build and maintain process KPI dashboards with the Senior Digital Engineer
• Apply SPC and capability analysis to separate signal from noise before recommending changes

Safety & Environmental Stewardship

• Lead all process work with a safety-first approach and apply MOC and HAZOP where required
• Coordinate with Environmental on process changes affecting effluent quality, system loading, and treatment performance
