How will you make an impact?

Provide technical engineering support and expertise to Production, Laboratory, and Maintenance required for production process changes in support of new and existing equipment/processes in a Sterile Manufacturing facility. Includes customer technical transfers, modifications to existing processes or adding new processes that will improve process safety, reduce plant operational costs as well as improve product quality and efficiency. Provide expertise in diagnosing and correcting major operational problems.

What will you do?

• Evaluate customer bid proposals and develop process flow diagrams, establish technical fit into existing facilities & equipment, identify process, facility and safety gaps with cost effective technical solutions, implementation timing with assumptions, and alternative to be considered.
• Develop and make recommendations for new process designs and/or modifications for assigned areas to ensure maximum operating efficiency, return on investment, safety, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Prepare process flow sheets, energy balances, material balances, etc., in order to provide sufficient information for Project Engineering to prepare detailed specifications for cost estimates and construction.
• Provide daily process engineering support to Production on operating problems and to maintenance/plant engineering on equipment performance and materials problems.
• Provide technical recommendations to permit plant operation within state and federal government regulatory requirements (FDA, EMEA, OSHA, EPA, IBC, etc.).
• Provide technical support to departments outside Production.
• Review all process designs and modifications for safety implications and requirements. Promote a safe work environment for self, employees, and other personnel to reduce personnel and environmental health and safety (EH&S) risks.
