We are looking for a seasoned, floor-oriented Process Engineer who can support both manufacturing and packaging. This person must be able to troubleshoot in real time with operators, stabilize processes, support validation/change-related activities, understand and support project engineering initiatives (project lifecycle) and bring strong experience in BioTech environments.

Be part of an exciting start-up that supports the world's leading pharmaceutical, biotech, food, and animal health companies. Get the best of both worlds. Gain experience at a company that leads projects for global pharmaceutical companies while enjoying the flexibility, energy, and personal attention that can only be found working in a small, close-knit company.

APPLICANTS MUST HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN BIOTECH, PHARMACEUTICAL, OR ANIMAL HEALTH INDUSTRIES TO BE CONSIDERED

Essential Duties:

• Provide process engineering support acrossproduction processes.

• Troubleshoot process and equipment issues directly with operators, mechanics, supervisors, and technical teams.

• Lead or support investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions tied to deviations, recurring losses, or process failures.

• Support validation-related activities, continued process verification, process monitoring, and change implementation as needed.

• Partner with QA, QC, Maintenance, Engineering, and Operations to keep processes controlled, reliable, andexecution-ready.

• Support line trials, startup/ramp-up activities, and technical improvements tied to throughput, quality, reliability, and waste reduction.
• Help connect upstream manufacturing conditions with downstream packaging performance so issues are solved at the actual source.

• Own Project Engineering scope across the full project lifecycle - maturing URS/specification quality in partnership with the site team, vendor identification and assessment, and equipment installation activities (FAT/SAT, IOQ/PQ) - bridging process and project engineering rather than working in a silo.

• Build the business case for process and capital improvements with quantifiable results (cost savings, capacity gains, risk reduction) to support site funding decisions.

Requirements:

• 10-15 years of process engineering experience in an FDA-regulated or similarly controlled manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated change leadership - proven ability to earn trust on the floor, guide operators and technical teams through process and organizational change, and sustain momentum without forcing it.

• DemonstratedSME-level knowledge andexperience supportingBiologicalprocesses, including aseptic filling.

• Strong troubleshooting capability in live production environments.

• Experience with deviations, investigations, root cause analysis, change control, and technical process improvement.

• Demonstrated experience with thevalidationlifecycle.

• Working knowledge of project engineering principals and proven experienceowning capital/small-cap project scope end-to-end - budget, schedule, design, and construction oversight - while staying grounded in the process itself.

• Comfort working on-site full time and moving between multiple production areas throughout the day.

• Ability to work directly with operators and site teams in a practical, hands-on support role.
• Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Industrial, or related Engineering discipline.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with line trials, technology transfer, startup support, or new product introduction.

• Exposure to continued process verification, FMEA, Lean, TPM,centerlining, or reliability improvement methods.

• Experience using plant systems or reporting tools such as SAP, MES, or Power BI.
• Experience developing the capability of others - mentoring engineers, co-ops, or technicians and elevating team performance over time.

Work Environment Expectations

• This role is expected to be on-sitefull-timeat theClientfacility.

• The individual must be comfortable entering various manufacturing and packaging areas as needed to support operators and troubleshoot issues.

• This is a hands-on site support role, not a primarily remote or conference-room-based engineering assignment.
