Job Description
Job Description

Job Title: Chemical Engineer II
Location : Hemlock, MI 48626

Duration: 6 Months (with potential to extend or transfer to other project locations after the project is completed or chances of being perm)

Type: Full-time, 100% On-Site
Interview Process: 2 rounds of teams interviews. Manager is willing to consider candidates who are not local and willing to relocate at their own expense, but preference will be given to candidates local to Hemlock/Saginaw.
Who Would Be The Ideal Candidate?
A strong contract candidate is a hands-on Chemical Engineer with 3+ years of chemical manufacturing or process engineering experience, strong process safety fundamentals, and practical familiarity with HAZOP/PHA, chemical delivery systems, equipment safety, and OSHA PSM/EHS expectations. They should be comfortable working on-site in a plant/startup environment, collaborating across teams, and supporting commissioning needs. The ideal candidate is also willing to travel domestically to other Corning sites (though not required) and strong performance may create potential consideration for a future Corning role, though not guaranteed.
Overview
Corning is seeking a highly skilled Chemical Engineer to support chemical process safety, equipment readiness, and commissioning activities for the Solar wafers plant in Hemlock, Michigan. This role will help ensure safe design and operation of chemical systems by leading PHA/HAZOP activities, integrating safeguards, and driving action closure with plant, vendor, and cross-functional teams.
Key Responsibilities
Lead or support HAZOPs and PHAs to identify hazards, define safeguards, and ensure process safety compliance.
Apply chemical engineering principles to support safe design, scale-up, optimization, and operation of manufacturing processes.
Support hands-on work in laboratory, pilot, and manufacturing environments to validate process concepts and resolve technical issues.
Document technical work, update procedures, control narratives, and P&IDs, and contribute to intellectual property as appropriate.
Communicate technical updates, risks, and recommendations through reports, presentations, and stakeholder briefings.
Track and report progress against technical, safety, and project objectives.
Collaborate with plant teams, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders to resolve technical and operational challenges.
Use statistical methods and data analysis to improve understanding and control of chemical processes.
Apply structured problem solving to identify root causes and resolve chemical or manufacturing process upsets.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Strong understanding of chemical processes, chemical systems, and engineering fundamentals.
Experience using structured problem-solving methods and experimental design.
Excellent communication, interpersonal, and team collaboration skills.
Ability to work effectively in a multifaceted, diverse team environment, including with international staff.
Desired Skills & Experience
Practical experience with HAZOPs and PHAs for safe process design and operation.
Familiarity with chemical engineering simulation tools such as ChemCAD, ProSim Plus, Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, COMSOL, or MATLAB.
Experience with DOE and statistical tools such as Excel, SigmaZone, JMP, Origin, or Minitab.
Travel & Work Conditions
Based in the Hemlock, MI area,
A plus (but not required) would be willingness to travel domestically and support other Corning Incorporated sites after the current workload is complete.
Standard 40-hour workweek with flexibility for extended hours, weekends, and startup support as needed.
