On the plant floor, you'll troubleshoot controls, hardware, and process issues while partnering directly with operations, maintenance, quality, and other plant teams. Office time is primarily dedicated to planning and executing capital projects and continuous improvement work.

Career Trajectory: Controls 1 Engineers will be able to advance to Controls 2 and Controls 3 positions within a few years. Regional Management and corporate-level Continuous Improvement roles are also available viable career paths for interested engineers.

  • Recommend process improvements, training solutions, and capital expenditures where appropriate.
  • Support small project teams and collaborate with operations during design, construction, installation, and commissioning activities.
  • Maintain established quality and safety standards.

Requirements

  • Must be at least 18 years of age.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without requiring employment visa sponsorship now or in the future. (Applicants on OPT or CPT programs are NOT eligible to apply. Applicants must be lawful permanent resident of the United States or U.S. citizens.)
