Insight Global is seeking a Process Control Engineer for one of their clients in the Chattanooga, TN area. The Process Control Engineer (PCE) will play a critical role in supporting and improving the control systems across multiple production facilities. This position involves daily collaboration with operations, maintenance, engineering, and external contractors to ensure safe and efficient plant performance. The PCE will become the subject matter expert for all control infrastructure and serve as the primary resource for troubleshooting and guidance on control-related issues. Key responsibilities include evaluating safety protocols, especially Lockout Tagout procedures, to ensure process changes do not introduce new risks. The PCE will oversee maintenance and repairs of control systems, manage spare parts inventory, and work with IT to maintain stable communications between production equipment and facility infrastructure.
