Key responsibilities include providing technical training and coaching to operations staff, process troubleshooting, understanding of analyzers and air monitors critical to regulatory and safety compliance, engineering support for Root Cause Investigations, collaboration across multiple departments, participation in Process Hazards Analysis, support for raw materials qualification or trials for new products, and driving solvent exposure reduction programs and projects. The role also involves tracking area productivity metrics, identifying performance gaps, and engaging maintenance and senior MT resources as needed. Qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in science or engineering discipline, manufacturing experience, Nomex® line of business experience preferred, and Process Safety Management experience.
