Job Summary
The Process Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes at our Markleville facility, producing reflective insulation products. This role requires a hands-on engineer who can independently identify opportunities, solve problems quickly, and implement efficient process improvements to enhance productivity, quality, and cost performance.
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
· Process Development & Optimization: Design, develop, and improve manufacturing processes to enhance efficiency, throughput, and consistency. Analyze current operations and implement improvements to eliminate waste and streamline production. Develop standard work instructions and process documentation. Ensure processes are scalable, repeatable, and aligned with production goals
· Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement: Independently troubleshoot process inefficiencies, equipment issues, and production bottlenecks. Lead and implement continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies). Respond quickly to production challenges to minimize downtime and productivity losses. Drive a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement.
· Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving: Lead investigations into process failures, defects, and performance issues. Perform structured root cause analysis (RCA) (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone). Implement and verify effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs). Support reduction of scrap, rework, and variability.
· Cross-Functional Collaboration & Production Support: Work closely with Production, Maintenance, Quality, and Supply Chain teams. Provide hands-on support on the shop floor to ensure stable and efficient operations. Support new product introductions, trials, and process changes: Collaborate with Maintenance on equipment reliability and process stability improvements.
· Problem Solving & Project Leadership: Lead root cause analysis activities utilizing structured problem-solving methodologies such as 5 Why Analysis, Fishbone Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Manage improvement projects from identification through implementation and validation. Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure project objectives are achieved on schedule. Verify effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions and ensure long-term sustainability.
· Data Analysis, Reporting & Performance Tracking: Track and analyze key process metrics (e.g., yield, cycle time, throughput, scrap, OEE). Use data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement. Prepare reports and present findings to the plant leadership. Maintain accurate process documentation and records
