Tank Stream Design Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Make renewable energy better—every day. Join a mission‑driven engineering team that designs, improves, and scales corn‑based ethanol technologies that sustain agriculture, advance renewable energy, and expand global protein supply. Our technologies operate across a broad footprint of biorefineries, and our culture champions Collaboration, Humility, Ownership, Innovation, and Stewardship.

Design choices matter. In this role you’ll help cut energy intensity, improve yields, and reduce waste streams across biorefineries—moving the needle on decarbonization while sustaining agricultural economies. Our mission centers renewable fuels and responsible innovation; your engineering rigor turns that mission into measurable plant‑level outcomes. You will assist with troubleshooting issues at operating plants and develop solutions that are timely and cost effective. Provide solutions that may include design packages with equipment specifications and P&ID updates to reflect changes. Assist in managing projects to completion including tracking the project time.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

1. Develop a basic understanding of ICM processes such as issuing information to customers.

2. Conduct research to develop new and improved ethanol manufacturing processes, including P&ID and equipment specification development.

3. Develop material and energy balances for new and developing processes with some input from senior engineers.

4. Design, plan layout, and assist customer engaged in constructing, controlling, and improving equipment to carry out ethanol processes on industrial scale.

5. Analyze operating procedures and equipment and machinery function to reduce processing time and cost.

6. Design processes to control movement and storage of solids, liquids, and gases.

7. Design and plan measurement and control systems for ethanol plants based on data collected in laboratory experiments, pilot plant operations, and industrial scale operations.

8. Determine most effective arrangement of unit operations exercising judgment to compromise between process requirements, economic evaluation, operator effectiveness, and physical and health hazards.

9. Lead activities of workers who operate and control such equipment as condensers, evaporators, pumps, columns, heat exchangers, valves, tanks, boilers, compressors, pipelines, and centrifuges to affect required chemical or physical change.

10. Perform tests and take measurements throughout stages of production to determine degree of control over variables such as temperature, density, specific gravity, and pressure.

11. Apply principles of chemical engineering to solve environmental problems.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Education: Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering or a related technical discipline.

Experience: 3–5+ years in process engineering (biofuels/ethanol preferred), with PFD/P&ID development, equipment specification, and plant optimization work.

Tools & tech: Proficiency with MS Office; familiarity with AutoCAD and common process simulation packages (e.g., Aspen/ChemCAD).

Core skills: Meticulous attention to detail, clear written and verbal communication, and the confidence to work independently after an initial training period.

Values alignment: You thrive in a culture built on Collaboration, Humility, Ownership, Innovation, and Stewardship—and you show it in how you plan, design, review, and support projects.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT HERE:

Real‑world impact: Your designs support facilities that produce a significant share of global ethanol—work that tangibly advances renewable energy.

Growth & variety: From greenfield design to complex retrofits and plant optimizations, you’ll see the full lifecycle of process engineering.

Purpose‑built teams: You’ll join a high‑trust environment where engineers learn from each other, visit plants, and ship designs that operators appreciate.

Frequent site visits required, 20% travel required or as needed. Must possess current, valid driver’s license with no restrictions.
