Remote Fmea Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

The Global Sustainability, Energy & Waste Reduction Program Manager will drive the strategy, execution, and continuous improvement of both energy intensity and waste reduction programs across the global manufacturing network. The role blends program management, advanced analytics, and deep technical expertise in sustainability, industrial energy systems, and waste management to deliver measurable reductions in energy use, emissions, and waste generation-while safeguarding safety, quality, reliability, and cost.

In this role, you will be responsible for

• Program Leadership & Governance:
  • Own the global Energy Intensity Reduction Plan (EIRP) and Waste Reduction Roadmap for all manufacturing sites, setting annual targets, milestones, and governance routines. Ensure scope clarity, schedule control, risk management, and benefit realization.
  • Lead governance for a recurring cadence (monthly/quarterly) including project reviews, tollgates, and portfolio prioritization.
  • Develop and maintain a standard project playbook for resource efficiency initiatives (templates, checklists, MOC triggers, commissioning steps, savings verification).
  • Coordinate resourcing across sites and functions; resolve roadblocks, escalate risks, and drive decision-making
  • Establish standards, playbooks, and best practices for energy and waste reduction, ensuring consistent execution across regions and sites.

• Opportunity Identification & Mapping:
  • Lead comprehensive energy and waste mapping at sites to baseline consumption and waste streams, identify key users and generators, and quantify improvement opportunities.
  • Facilitate site "energy & waste mapping" workshops, loss-tree development, and opportunity pipeline creation.
  • Build project charters and business cases that include capex/opex, savings, risk, operability impacts, maintenance burden, and payback/NPV.
  • Coordinate financial validation with Finance, including baseline definitions, measurement boundaries, and benefit timing.
  • Drive root-cause problem solving for chronic losses (Pareto, 5-Why, fishbone, FMEA) and convert into engineered fixes and standard work.

• Data, Measurement & Advanced Analytics:
  • Define data architecture for energy and waste instrumentation, historian/IoT integration, and KPI dashboards (e.g., kWh/ton, MMBTU/unit, waste per unit, OEE-normalized intensity).
  • Develop and apply advanced analytics (regression, time series, M&V, digital twins) to distinguish structural vs. operational drivers, validate savings, and forecast outcomes.
  • Standardize measurement & verification (M&V) protocols for both energy and waste, ensuring data integrity and auditability.
  • Partner with site teams to ensure metering and analytics are sufficient to quantify baselines and measure sustained improvement.

• Project Execution & Delivery:
  • Manage a portfolio of energy and waste reduction projects (no-capex, low-capex, and capital projects) from concept through startup, including business cases, IRR/NPV, funding gates, risk management, and change control.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams (site engineering, operations, maintenance, EHS, procurement, finance) and external partners (OEMs, ESCOs, utilities, waste vendors).

• Technology & Best Practices:
  • Serve as subject-matter expert on world-class energy, sustainability, and waste reduction technologies (e.g., high-efficiency motors/VFDs, compressed air optimization, process heat recovery, CHP, electrification, advanced process control, ISO 50001, smart metering, waste minimization, recycling, circular economy).
  • Scan, trial, and scale emerging technologies and digital solutions; maintain a global tech library and replication toolkits.

• Strategy & Stakeholder Engagement:
  • Translate corporate sustainability goals into site-level action plans and performance commitments, aligning with manufacturing, supply chain, EHS, and waste management strategies.
  • Develop executive updates, site scorecards, and communications; champion a culture of energy and waste stewardship.

• Compliance & External Interfaces:
  • Ensure adherence to relevant standards (e.g., ISO 50001, ISO 14001), local regulations, and corporate policies for energy and waste.
  • Support utility incentive applications, carbon accounting, and waste reporting in partnership with Sustainability/Finance.
  • Ensure projects follow company engineering standards and safety requirements, including: Management of Change (MOC) identification and execution, PHA/HAZOP support as needed, Contractor safety, commissioning/startup safety reviews, Environmental permitting/impacts coordination
  • Promote a culture where energy/waste improvements never compromise process safety or product quality.

Required Qualifications that Enables Your Success

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years in manufacturing environment with demonstrated delivery of cross-functional projects (chemical/petrochemical preferred).
• Proven execution experience delivering energy efficiency, utilities optimization, yield improvement, or waste reduction initiatives.
• Strong project management capability: chartering, scheduling, risk management, stakeholder alignment, and benefits tracking.
• Working knowledge of process operations and industrial utilities (steam, compressed air, cooling water, thermal systems).
• Experience in change management and operational excellence systems (tiered meetings, daily management).

Benefits that Empower You

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonus plans
• 401(k) match + Age-Weighted Defined Contribution
• Comprehensive medical, dental & vision coverage
• Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Paid holidays, vacation, and parental leave
