Production Engineer

I'm partnering with a leading industrial processing organization that is developing and operating large-scale facilities supporting critical materials and advanced manufacturing supply chains.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Production Engineer looking to play a key role in plant commissioning, startup, optimization, and ongoing operations within a complex sulfuric acid production environment.

• Provide technical support for sulfuric acid production and utility systems, including sulfur furnaces, converters, absorption towers, waste heat recovery, acid circulation, and emissions control systems
• Support commissioning, startup, and operational readiness activities for new plant systems and equipment
• Monitor process performance and identify opportunities to improve production rates, energy efficiency, reliability, environmental performance, and product quality
• Lead and support OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) initiatives to drive plant performance and continuous improvement
• Troubleshoot process upsets, equipment issues, and operational inefficiencies while developing effective corrective actions
• Assist with the development and improvement of operating procedures, training materials, startup/shutdown procedures, and alarm management strategies
• Support KPI tracking and reporting related to production, efficiency, reliability, and environmental compliance
• Participate in HAZOPs, PHAs, MOCs, RCAs, and other process safety and continuous improvement programs

• Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related discipline
• Strong understanding of chemical processing operations, heat transfer, fluid flow, process control systems, and unit operations
• Ability to review and interpret PFDs, P&IDs, process data, control narratives, and operating procedures
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to solve complex process and operational issues
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across operations, maintenance, engineering, and project teams
• Self-motivated with strong organizational and time management skills

• 0-5 years of experience within chemical processing, mining, refining, metals, energy, or other heavy industrial operations
• Experience with sulfur-burning sulfuric acid production processes
• Plant commissioning, startup, or operational readiness experience
• Knowledge of process safety management (PSM), OSHA requirements, and environmental compliance standards
• Familiarity with DCS systems, plant historians, and process trending tools

• Opportunity to support the startup and operation of a major industrial processing facility
• Exposure to complex chemical processing and utility systems
• Career growth within a rapidly expanding industrial organization
• Collaborative environment with strong technical and operational leadership
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
