Project Engineer

Veteran Hiring Solutions•Kingman, AZ

27d•$75,000 - $110,000

About The Position

The Project Engineer exists to design, lead, and commission complex gas systems that power semiconductor and specialty gas operations — safely, efficiently, and at the leading edge of technical possibility. This role supports plant reliability, expansion, regulatory compliance, and innovation. The engineer will translate technical complexity into operational reality, ensuring systems are designed correctly from day one and successfully transitioned to plant operations. This is not a maintenance role. It is a front-end system design and execution leadership position often building from a blank sheet of paper and carrying ownership through startup and turnover.
