## Description

You start your morning on the manufacturing floor, providing day-to-day technical guidance to operations and maintenance. After a quick stand-up, you move into design leadership-finalizing specifications for a new process skid, reviewing vendor drawings, and validating fabrication plans. In the afternoon, you run finite element analyses in ANSYS to confirm a stress-critical component, then coordinate cross-functional teams to schedule installation, testing, and qualification activities-always ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. You wrap up by preparing content for an upcoming presentation to customers and regulators., * Hands-on engineering support for manufacturing and chemical operations and maintenance.

 * Technical leadership for new or modified systems-from concept and specifications through installation, fabrication, testing, and qualification-aligned with safety and regulatory requirements.
 * Evaluation and application of innovations in materials, machinery, manufacturing, and chemical processing to resolve complex production challenges.
 * Creation of novel approaches in materials, equipment, and process design.
 * Engineering calculations and FEA (e.g., ANSYS) to validate equipment and process designs.
 * Project leadership for capital initiatives: develop project charters, management plans, schedules, WBS, risk registers, and budgets; coordinate across departments.
 * Engage with customer and regulatory requirements; prepare proposals; renew business opportunities; contribute to strategic plans.
 * Author technical papers and deliver formal presentations to customers and regulators., We deliver customer-focused staffing solutions ranging from high-volume programs to niche technical roles, supporting international contracts in 5+ countries.
