Position Summary: The Plant Engineer provides technical and project support across CARBO's Middle Georgia plant operations. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer or experienced multi-craft maintenance professional who enjoys variety, practical problem solving, and supporting more than one facility. The Plant Engineer will help design, troubleshoot, improve, and implement solutions involving industrial equipment, process flow, pumps, motors, valves, power transmission systems, kilns, burner systems, electrical and control systems, and continuous process operations.
Why This Role Stands Out: This is not a narrow engineering desk job or a repetitive single-area assignment. You will support two facilities, work on a wide range of equipment and projects, and have the flexibility to move between priorities as plant needs evolve. For someone who enjoys high-variety work, practical problem solving, and seeing the direct impact of their ideas in the field, this role offers meaningful visibility and contribution across the operation.

• Partner with maintenance supervisors, maintenance technicians, operations, production, quality, contractors, and vendors to identify practical solutions and keep plant operations moving.
• Develop and implement modifications that improve safety, reliability, production capability, quality, yield, cycle time, and operating cost.
• Assist with capital project requests, project scopes, vendor quotes, contractor coordination, installation, commissioning, start-up, and employee training for new or modified equipment.

• Strong mechanical aptitude and working knowledge of industrial equipment such as pumps, motors, valves, belts, pulleys, sprockets, gearboxes, conveyors, power transmission systems, and process piping.
• Experience with continuous process operations, material movement, flow rates, slurry or water transfer, kilns, burner trains, or Burner Management Systems is a plus.
• Experience with electrical and control systems, including HMI, Wonderware, 480-volt three-phase systems, VFDs, instrumentation, or process control systems is a plus.
