A Contract Chemical Engineer is a chemical engineer who works on a temporary or project-based basis instead of being a full-time employee. They are typically hired to provide expertise in process design, optimization, troubleshooting, or compliance for industries like pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, or manufacturing. Contracts may range from a few months to several years, depending on the project's scope. This role offers flexibility and allows engineers to work on diverse projects with different companies.
As a Contract Chemical Engineer, you may be brought in to support projects such as process improvement, plant commissioning, troubleshooting manufacturing issues, or developing new chemical products. Your responsibilities can range from conducting technical analyses and running simulations to collaborating closely with production staff and safety teams. You’ll likely work on short- to medium-term assignments, each with unique goals and challenges, which makes adaptability a key aspect of the job. These roles often offer exposure to diverse industries and processes, providing valuable experience and professional growth opportunities.
To succeed as a Contract Chemical Engineer, you typically need a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, strong analytical abilities, and hands-on experience with process design and optimization. Familiarity with industry-standard simulation software, such as Aspen Plus or HYSYS, and safety certifications like OSHA are often required. Excellent problem-solving skills, adaptability, and effective communication help you integrate smoothly into diverse project teams and rapidly changing work environments. These qualities enable Contract Chemical Engineers to deliver effective solutions on short timelines, ensuring project success for their clients.

Who Would Be The Ideal Candidate?
A strong contract candidate is a hands-on Chemical Engineer with 3+ years of chemical manufacturing or process engineering experience, strong process safety fundamentals, and practical familiarity with HAZOP/PHA, chemical delivery systems, equipment safety, and OSHA PSM/EHS expectations. They should be comfortable working on-site in a plant/startup environment, collaborating across teams, and supporting commissioning needs. The ideal candidate is also willing to travel domestically to other Corning sites (though not required) and strong performance may create potential consideration for a future Corning role, though not guaranteed.
Overview
Corning is seeking a highly skilled Chemical Engineer to support chemical process safety, equipment readiness, and commissioning activities for the Solar wafers plant in Hemlock, Michigan. This role will help ensure safe design and operation of chemical systems by leading PHA/HAZOP activities, integrating safeguards, and driving action closure with plant, vendor, and cross-functional teams.
Key Responsibilities
Lead or support HAZOPs and PHAs to identify hazards, define safeguards, and ensure process safety compliance.
Apply chemical engineering principles to support safe design, scale-up, optimization, and operation of manufacturing processes.
Support hands-on work in laboratory, pilot, and manufacturing environments to validate process concepts and resolve technical issues.
Document technical work, update procedures, control narratives, and P&IDs, and contribute to intellectual property as appropriate.
Communicate technical updates, risks, and recommendations through reports, presentations, and stakeholder briefings.
Track and report progress against technical, safety, and project objectives.
Collaborate with plant teams, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders to resolve technical and operational challenges.
Use statistical methods and data analysis to improve understanding and control of chemical processes.
Apply structured problem solving to identify root causes and resolve chemical or manufacturing process upsets.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Strong understanding of chemical processes, chemical systems, and engineering fundamentals.
Experience using structured problem-solving methods and experimental design.
Excellent communication, interpersonal, and team collaboration skills.
Ability to work effectively in a multifaceted, diverse team environment, including with international staff.
Desired Skills & Experience
Practical experience with HAZOPs and PHAs for safe process design and operation.
Familiarity with chemical engineering simulation tools such as ChemCAD, ProSim Plus, Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, COMSOL, or MATLAB.
Experience with DOE and statistical tools such as Excel, SigmaZone, JMP, Origin, or Minitab.
Travel & Work Conditions
Based in the Hemlock, MI area,
A plus (but not required) would be willingness to travel domestically and support other Corning Incorporated sites after the current workload is complete.
Standard 40-hour workweek with flexibility for extended hours, weekends, and startup support as needed.
