Job description

Sterling Process Equipment and Services
Process Systems Engineer
About Sterling Process Equipment and Services
Sterling Process Equipment and Services, Inc. was founded in 1983 by a team of dedicated individuals focused on customer service. The goal was to apply a wide variety of knowledge and experience to challenges within the food, pharmaceutical and beverage industries. This has been the foundation of our success. Our reputation of trust, exceptional quality and service has allowed us to build upon this solid foundation in various ways.
Qualifications
Our ideal Process Systems Engineer gets involved with designing our process flow diagrams and P&ID's in support of the sales team. Using their excellent communication skills, this independent and self-motivated problem-solver, listens to the customer's needs, understands the scope of work, and can easily communicate the complexity to our estimators and design engineers. Wanting to get the job done and done right, this dependable and honest multi-tasker can comfortably interact with the different personalities of field personnel, peers, or customers as well as handle different projects in different locations for different customers.
