Senior Process Engineer – Energy & Sustainability

The Process Engineer – Energy & Sustainability works in a team environment committed to continuous improvement, operational excellence, and business consciousness. As a key member of the Facilities Center of Excellence (CoE), you will merge technical process engineering principles with strategic program leadership to drive the Elkton site’s energy, emissions, and sustainability advancement.

• System Modeling & Diagnostics:
  Apply core process engineering principles (mass/energy balances, thermodynamic analysis, and fluid dynamics) to troubleshoot, model, and optimize site utility, manufacturing, and wastewater treatment systems.
• Process Audits & Pinch Analysis:
  Conduct systematic energy audits, pinch analyses, and efficiency assessments of complex process systems (including steam boilers, chilled water loops, and compressed air systems).
• Technology Scouter:
  Explore, evaluate, and pilot emerging green technologies, clean utilities, and decarbonization strategies to determine their viability for the Elkton site.

• Front-End Engineering Design (FEED):
  Partner with site capital project teams to ensure that jurisdictional, corporate, and site energy standards are fully integrated into new construction and renovation designs.
• Capital Business Cases:
  Develop robust engineering-based business cases, technical feasibility studies, and ROI analyses for sustainability-driven capital projects and expenses.
• LEED & Project
  
  Coaching:
  
  Coordinate site-wide engineering and documentation efforts to obtain LEED certification for new buildings and support project teams with technical standards interpretation.

• Financial Management:
  Manage the site’s energy and utilities budgets from forecast through reconciliation in coordination with consultants, finance, and production planning departments.
• Procurement & External Liaison:
  Act as the primary technical liaison with utility providers and government agencies, partnering with procurement to negotiate utility contracts.
• Market Intelligence:
  Keep the site abreast of global energy policy updates, regulatory requirements (including GMP/FDA clean utility boundaries), and environmental/EHS compliance impacts.

• Strategy Delivery:
  Formulate and deliver the site's energy, water, emissions, and waste reduction goals in alignment with corporate environmental targets.
• Advocacy & Governance:
  Represent the Elkton site in corporate and regional above-site energy and sustainability forums.
• Site Awareness:
  Present energy and sustainability performance metrics at site town halls and meetings to foster a site-wide culture of environmental awareness.
• Facilities Engineering Support:
  Collaborate with and assist other members of the Facilities Engineering CoE and broader site operations teams as required.

• Required:
  
  Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Chemical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering, or a closely related engineering or science discipline.

• Professional Track Record:
  Minimum of five (5) years of related process engineering or energy/sustainability optimization experience.
• Communication & Influence:
  Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with a proven ability to influence, cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Program Leadership:
  Demonstrated experience managing projects, driving initiatives independently, and acting as a confident, autonomous decision maker.
