As we scale manufacturing and expand R&D, we need a resourceful, hands-on Engineering Technologist to bridge the gap between engineering blueprints and real-world execution.
The Role Joining our Engineering Development Team, you will take ownership of projects immediately after the design phase to build new process systems, pilot units, and experimental equipment. Whether reviewing P&IDs at your desk, sourcing parts with vendors, or troubleshooting alongside contractors on the plant floor, you will turn R&D concepts into safe, functional systems.
What You’ll Do
- Own Project Execution: Manage projects from design handoff through procurement, fabrication, installation, testing, and commissioning while proactively clearing roadblocks.
- Review Engineering Docs: Interpret P&IDs, mechanical drawings, schematics, and equipment specs. Spot design discrepancies early and partner with engineers to resolve them.
- Drive Procurement: Build material lists, source components, and track vendor deliveries to protect project schedules.
- Lead Installation & Commissioning: Coordinate contractors and roll up your sleeves for hands-on assembly, testing, startup, and live field troubleshooting.
- Collaborate & Document: Partner across Engineering, Process Development, and Operations, maintaining clear documentation for smooth system handovers.
- Required: High school diploma, strong mechanical aptitude (familiarity with fasteners, gaskets, and flanges), basic proficiency with digital tools (Office, Google Docs, Slack), and an uncompromising commitment to safety (wearing PPE including hard hats, respirators, gloves, and earplugs).
- Mindset: Self-motivated problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment and manages priorities independently.
- Preferred: Associate degree/technical certification in engineering technology or instrumentation; experience reading P&IDs and schematics; familiarity with HMI stations, piping, and process control systems.
