Job description

Polymer Plant Process Engineer 2

Location : Blair, Nebraska (Plant-Based) Reports to : Director of Plant Operations

We're looking for an experienced Process Engineer who's ready to take ownership, drive improvements, and be a steady, positive force on the plant floor.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, staying close to operations, coaching others, and steadily making things better - we want to meet you. This isn't a role for someone looking to sit behind a desk. It's for someone who wants to make a real difference day in and day out.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as a hands-on technical leader in our polymer operations - troubleshooting issues, identifying root causes, and delivering practical solutions.
  • Lead and support process improvements focused on yield, cost, and quality. You'll dig into data, collaborate with operations, and implement real change.
  • Provide technical coaching and leadership to the team - sharing knowledge, elevating operating discipline, and helping others succeed.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure safe, stable, and reliable operations.

What You Bring

  • A degree in chemical or mechanical engineering
  • At least 5 years of experience in process design or operations - preferably in polymers, chemicals, or similar manufacturing environments
  • Strong technical depth and a bias for action
  • A calm, collaborative approach - able to work with operations, maintenance, and leadership effectively
  • The ability to focus on what matters, communicate clearly, and follow through
  • Why This Role Might Be Right for You

  • You want to be close to the plant - working with operators and equipment, not behind glass.
  • You're driven by technical excellence and take pride in doing things the right way.
  • You like finding better ways to run things and enjoy helping others do their best work.
  • You value team culture - showing up, doing the work, and supporting each other.
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Pay Range : $105,000 to $115,000 with 8% annual bonus potential
  • Paid Time Off : 3 weeks of vacation, 3 floating holidays, and 9 company-paid holidays
  • Family Sick Time : 6 days per year
  • 401(k) Plan : 5.5% automatic contribution plus 50% match on the first 6%
  • Insurance : Medical, dental, and vision
  • Disability Coverage : Fully paid Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
  • Day-One Benefits : All benefits begin on your first day of employment
  • If you're ready to bring your expertise to a team that values smart work, shared goals, and mutual respect - we'd like to hear from you.
