About The Position

The Process Engineering Technician will ensure that processes related to CM management are evaluated, analysis conducted, and results reported. This role involves following up on focus compounds that are showing higher-than-expected generation, checking sequences, and ensuring follow-up with operators for high-CM risk compounds. The technician will collect and record data, perform actions as directed by a supervisor, and audit mixers running CM to ensure consumption according to recipe. They will also ensure that the weight being thrown on the belt is in relation to CM consumption according to expectations. Responsibilities include bulk area management, directing truckers to make skids for critical compounds accessible, and coordinating with CM truckers in the Mixing room. Close cooperation with Sequencing and Mixing supervision is required to ensure FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) of CM as much as possible for production runs. Input from Cycle counter will be gathered where appropriate. The technician will check the age of CM in front of the mixer to ensure consumption of old material and ensure documentation of shift-handover including critical topics per shift. The role may involve driving fork trucks and ensuring all ESH procedures, policies, and legal requirements are implemented and monitored. This description may not be inclusive of all work required and may be updated as needed.
