Process Control Engineer

We offer a best-in-class work environment for our team, supporting their professional growth while providing a challenging, exciting, and safe workplace. From offering a robust benefits package to generous annual performance bonuses, PTO, and more, we live our core values—teamwork, resiliency, and integrity—reflecting our long-term commitment to our employees, communities, and the environment.

We are seeking a Process Control Engineer to play a key role in optimizing, maintaining, and advancing the control systems that enable safe, efficient, and high-quality operations at our state-of-the-art industrial manufacturing facility. This role bridges engineering and operations, with a focus on developing and improving control strategies that drive process stability, throughput, and continuous improvement across the plant.

As we scale from a materials producer to a fully integrated manufacturer, Operational Technology (OT) will be central to unlocking real-time visibility, control, and optimization across our facilities.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, analytical, and passionate about automation and process optimization. This position focuses on operational excellence (OPEX) initiatives, control system troubleshooting, and process improvements that support our mission of domestic supply chain leadership.

• Lead or support process control projects throughout the full lifecycle - from conceptual design and control strategy development to implementation, testing, and commissioning.
• Develop, implement, and optimize advanced process control (APC) strategies and regulatory control loops to improve process performance and consistency.
• Maintain and enhance existing control systems infrastructure, including PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and instrumentation, to support plant reliability and performance.
• Program and troubleshoot PLCs and HMIs using Rockwell(Studio 5000, Factory Talk View) and Siemens (TIA Portal, WinCC) platforms.
• Work closely with process engineers, operations, and maintenance teams to identify process control opportunities, analyze issues, and implement robust automation solutions.
• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions for process upsets or control failures.
• Manage control system backups, documentation, and revision control to ensure system integrity and traceability.
• Support hardware and software upgrades,including developing BOMs, coordinating with supply chain, and minimizing production disruptions.
• Contribute to control systems standardization and documentation initiatives across the site.
• Support real-time troubleshooting and process optimization efforts during normal operations.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor’s degree in, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in control or automation engineering within a manufacturing or industrial operations environment.
• Practical experience programming and troubleshooting PLC and HMI systems (Rockwell Studio 5000, Factory Talk View, Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC).
• Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols:
  Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP.
• Experience working collaboratively in cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, production-driven environment.

• Strong technical understanding of industrial automation systems, instrumentation, and control hardware.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex issues, think critically, and implement robust,reliable automation solutions.
• Hands-on experience with robotic systems,vision inspection systems,and motion control is highly desirable.
• Flexible and responsive to shifting priorities; capable of managing multiple projects and urgent troubleshooting needs simultaneously.
• Strong communication skills—able to clearly document work, create functional descriptions, and work effectively with non-technical teams.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project).
