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.

• Support automation upgrades and equipment improvements (no new line commissioning planned)

Flexibility & Support
