  • Six Sigma Black Belt.
  • Background in chemical manufacturing.
  • Compensation, Travel, and Perks

  • Salary Range : $110,000 – $130,000 (based on experience, education, certifications, and skills)
  • Travel : Up to 25%
  • Benefits : Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, pet insurance, HSA / FSA, and 401(k).
  • Paid Parental Leave and Paid Volunteer Time Off.
  • Growth opportunities within a safety-first, environmentally conscious culture.
