This resource must be comfortable moving between production areas each day supporting operators and supervisors directly when issues arise.
The role requires enough technical depth and maturity to understand whether the real problem sits in process conditions equipment interaction line setup or downstream execution.

Role Summary
Seeking a Senior Process Engineer to support the Client with technical process engineering across both manufacturing and packaging operations.
