Bachelor’s Degree.
Field of Study Preferred: Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering.
Minimum of one year of experience in a relevant field.
Microsoft Office, Google Suite.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
Strong leadership skills. Ability to work with cross-functional teams and influence decisions.
Ability to apply basic engineering principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer, mass flow, and mechanical engineering.
Willingness to learn the function of complex mechanical, electrical/instrumentation and automation technology and equipment.
Achievement oriented, strong work ethic, self-starter, detail orientated.
Good written and oral communication skills.
Excellent interpersonal and presentation skills.
Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.

Responsibilities

Improve the efficiency, consistency and productivity of the cement manufacturing process by conducting daily analysis of plant performance and incidents / stoppages. Works with the Operations team to prioritize and implement actions.
Conduct process studies and audits to maintain performance and identify potential areas of improvement.
Works within the Continuous Improvement Teams resolving mid- and long-term deficiencies, while providing technical evidence to support improvement initiatives. Defines process conditions for modified equipment/installations under supervision of the Process Manager or Process Engineer(s).
Lead and develop process and manufacturing improvement proposals. Develop scope and business cases when needed.
Provide area coordinators, supervisors, and other personnel with technical guidance and advice on all areas of cement manufacturing process engineering, plant operations, design of process equipment, and the application of new technology. Establish, monitor, and maintain standard operation procedures needed to solve typical process and systems problems encountered in the plant.
Identify environmental constraints and impact on operating permits associated with modification of process equipment, fuels, and / or raw material(s) changes.
Circuit Control and Evaluation: This includes monitoring equipment performance and the consistency of the product throughout the process. Identify equipment deficiencies and work with other departments to implement corrections. The goal is to increase energy efficiency, improve availability, reduce variability, and to maximize continuous run time. This work is to be done for all circuits (Raw Meal Preparation, Pyroprocessing, and Finish Grinding).
Circuit Optimization: This includes performing trials and recommending changes to control loops and operating parameters. Ideas for improvement are to be tested, their impact verified and measured, and developed into a project scope as required. In addition, contributing to capital projects in the establishment of baseline data for circuits/ equipment that is to be modified, commissioning of projects, and validation of results.
Circuit equipment inspection and troubleshooting: This includes walkthroughs of all equipment lines in the raw grind, kilns, and finish grind workshops. Also includes physical inspections (internal and external) of equipment in these areas, such as kilns, mills, separators, clinker coolers, and dust collectors. This will require the ability to walk up and down stairs, climb ladders, and internally inspect equipment that has been crash stopped (thus high temperatures).
Audit of specific equipment and production lines to measure performance and identify opportunities for improvement. This includes audit planning, completion of heat and mass balances by sampling and measurement of material, air and gas streams, developing conclusions and recommendations, final report generation, driving implementation of recommendations, and monitoring of results.
Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
