• Industry: Food & Beverage | CPG | High-Speed Manufacturing

The Opportunity

This is a newly created Process Engineer role with one of the most stable and recognizable manufacturers in the Midwest. The company operates a large, recently renovated production facility and continues to reinvest heavily in automation, technology, infrastructure, and—most importantly—its people.

If you’re a Process Engineer who thrives in highly automated, fast-paced environments and enjoys driving continuous improvement on the plant floor, this is a chance to make a real impact while building a long-term career with a company known for job security, upward mobility, and internal growth.

There are three openings (one per shift) due to expansion.

Why Engineers Stay Here

• Extremely stable business with no shortage of work

• Support process adjustments, centerlining, and process control plans

Data, Automation & Optimization

• Analyze equipment efficiency, material usage, and process performance
• Apply statistical tools (SPC, capability studies, variation reduction) to guide decisions
• Support automation upgrades and equipment improvements (no new line commissioning planned)

Flexibility & Support

• While assigned to a primary shift, provide occasional off-shift support as issues arise—especially during peak summer production months

What We’re Looking For

Highly Preferred

• 4–8+ years of Process Engineering experience in a high-speed manufacturing environment
• Background in food & beverage, bottling, CPG, pharmaceutical, or chemical manufacturing
• Strong understanding of automated production lines (bottling, packaging, blow molding, etc.)
• Engineering degree (Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechatronics preferred)
• Comfortable spending time on the plant floor and working cross-functionally

Nice to Have

• Experience working in a union manufacturing environment
• SAP or similar ERP system experience

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Chef- and craft-driven, not formulaic
