  • Support commissioning, validation, and troubleshooting of new process lines and equipment.
  • Capital & Engineering Projects
  • Scope and execute CAPEX projects that enhance safety, reliability, and performance.

  • Spend time at the commercial facility working on process improvements & new engineering developments to successful tech transfers.
  • Develop and communicate process designs using process flow diagrams, P&IDs, process narratives, and volume and mass balances.
  • Monitor operations and project progression, resolve any issues that arise, and coordinate team activities to maintain the approved schedule.
  • Update management team and other project engineers on project progress and requirements regularly in written reports and presentations.
  • Control project pace and budget and manage project changes as needed.

  • B.S. or M.S. in Process, Chemical, Mechanical, or Bioprocess Engineering (or related discipline).
  • 3–7 years of hands-on experience in food, biotech, or ingredient manufacturing; preferably in protein or fermentation systems.

  • Understanding of sanitary design, food safety (HACCP, FSMA), and equipment standards (USDA, FDA).
