About The Position

We're hiring a Process Engineer to support and optimize structural foam manufacturing operations in a hands-on capacity.

This role will play a key part in improving production processes, troubleshooting issues, and driving continuous improvement while acting as a resource and leader for the foam molding team.

Requirements

• Strong background in plastics manufacturing, specifically structural foam and blow molding
• Experience in process engineering within a production environment
• Hands-on knowledge of setup, troubleshooting, and optimization of molding equipment
• Ability to lead and train team members while staying involved in the daily production floor activities
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement initiatives
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Comfortable working cross-functionally and balancing both strategic and tactical work
• Experience with ERP systems (Oracle preferred) and basic data analysis tools
• 10+ years in manufacturing, with 5+ years of direct experience in process or quality engineering roles

Responsibilities

• Providing day-to-day technical support for structural foam processes and equipment
• Leading and mentoring process technicians to improve overall production performance
• Developing and refining SOPs and best practices to ensure consistency and efficiency
• Evaluating production capacity and helping with planning for infrastructure needs
• Collaborating with maintenance, engineering, and production teams on troubleshooting and optimization
• Monitoring production data, analyzing process performance, and identifying areas for improvement
• Supporting the implementation of safety procedures, quality standards, and process control systems
• Assisting in training programs for both new hires and experienced techs on process and equipment
