About The Position

As a Division Process Engineer, you will provide technical leadership across nine manufacturing facilities including 26 production lines, ensuring consistent performance, sustained operations, strong culture, and alignment with division and corporate priorities. You will: Support 9 Insulation Systems Facilities Work with plant leadership to maintain consistency of fiberizer operation within established parameters for stable, safe and best overall JM cost position Must master and apply engineering discipline and fiberization system knowledge in difficult tradeoffs, including keeping plants on target, eliminating unsuitable differences, and reducing process variation Provided periodic training and development of process engineers/techs/operators including knowledge on highly proprietary material Monitor Key Process Indicator (KPI) trends and work closely with division product management on meeting Critical to Quality (CTQ) items Identify and implement division productivity opportunities Support Capital Project (CAPEX) implementation as division process Subject Matter Expert (SME) and work closely with controls engineering on instrumentation Lead monthly calls with division process leads Complete regular plant visits/audits, report to plant and division leadership issues and work with plant to correct actionable issues Support on production/quality issues where needed Collaborate with R&D Process Technology on regulating disc drill patterns and alloy quality, as well as hardware improvement/designs Work with Tucson on critical fiberization spares supply Update division leadership on key metrics, as needed Performing business analysis (costs, risks, benefits, system changes, etc.) of any viable, considered options Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and operational discipline. What Success Looks Like Plants operate safely, stably and efficiently, with best overall JM product cost position Plant process engineers, technicians and operators are running fiberization processes correctly, stably and efficiently Improvement projects are identified, prioritized and completed annually Process leaders are developed and empowered at the plant level. Expansion and CAPEX projects are led and supported as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) Strong partnerships exist between division engineering, R&D and operational plants Division Process Techs are enabled and deployed where needed to support objectives
