Description

Job Title: Process Engineer 

Reports to: Project Services Manager

Exempt Position 

Location: East Canton, OH  

The Process Engineer prepares and checks engineering calculations, design documentation, and technical deliverables for chemical-resistant masonry lining systems, packed towers, process vessels, and related industrial equipment. The role supports projects from proposal and design basis through supplier coordination, fabrication review, manufacturing support, limited field installation support, and commissioning/startup assistance. The Process Engineer works closely with customers, project managers, internal engineering/design disciplines, steel pressure vessel fabricators, masonry and lining material suppliers, manufacturing, QA/QC, and field installation crews to deliver safe, accurate, constructible, and well-documented engineered solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Prepares, checks, and documents process engineering calculations for packed towers, mass transfer internals, process vessels, pressure drop, heat/mass transfer, and related equipment sizing.
• Develops design basis documents, calculation packages, datasheets, technical clarifications, bills of material, sketches, drawing markups, and engineering change records.
• Reviews process chemistry, temperature, pressure, erosion/abrasion, thermal cycling, and service history to support chemical-resistant lining and material selection.
• Supports masonry and membrane lining system design for process vessels, towers, nozzles, compression rings, corbels, impingement zones, and other lining-critical areas.
• Reviews vessel and fabricator information for lining-critical geometry, including shell dimensions, nozzles, weld overlay interfaces, supports/ledges, tolerances, and data-book requirements.
• Coordinates with suppliers and sub vendors to review technical submittals, material data, test reports, inspection/test plans, lead times, substitutions, and nonconformance dispositions.
• Supports QA/QC planning and documentation, including drawing/specification review, critical dimensions, material receiving records, curing/dryout requirements, deviations, and final records.
• Supports estimating and proposals by preparing technical scopes, material estimates, BOMs, schedule assumptions, alternative product solutions, exclusions, risk items, and technical clarifications.
• Provides limited field and commissioning support, including installation troubleshooting, inspection/repair input, startup or cure support, punch-list resolution, and lessons learned.
• Captures and apply historical project data, standards, service experience, and lessons learned to reduce design errors, rework, warranty risk, and repeated problem solving.
• Performs additional duties as assigned

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering required; related engineering degree may be considered with directly relevant process equipment or lining-system experience.
• 10+ years of engineering experience for Process Engineer level; demonstrated growth toward independent technical ownership expected.
• Ability to perform accurate engineering calculations and prepare clear, traceable design documentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for customers, suppliers, fabricators, manufacturing, field, and internal engineering interfaces.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 tools, especially Excel, Word, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, and document control practices.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, datasheets, purchase requirements, and supplier documentation. Commitment to safe work practices, technical accuracy, confidentiality, and sound engineering judgment.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Experience with chemical process equipment, masonry-lined pressure vessels, packed towers, autoclaves, slurry heaters, flash vessels, acid service, corrosion-resistant materials, or industrial field execution.
• Familiarity with acid-resistant brick, mortars, membranes, PTFE, ceramic/graphite/plastic internals, silicon carbide shapes, nozzle linings, curing, startup procedures, and inspection/repair practices.
• Working knowledge of ASME pressure vessel interfaces, API 936-style masonry QA/QC practices, ASTM masonry testing concepts, surface preparation requirements, and client specification compliance.
• Experience with AutoCAD or similar drawing-review tools, process simulation/calculation tools, ERP systems, scheduling tools, or structured root-cause/corrective-action methods.
• Engineer in Training (EIT), API 936, Lean/Six Sigma, or other relevant technical certification is a plus.
