Job description

The Process Engineering Technician is a hands-on technical support role responsible for assisting Process Engineers in the execution, monitoring, documentation, and minor adjustment of manufacturing processes. This role is crucial for ensuring the process equipment operates according to specification, collecting critical production data, and assisting with quality control and continuous improvement activities on the shop floor.

Key responsibilities

Routinely collect, record, and log data on critical process parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rates, equipment cycle times) from machines, control panels, or data logging systems (e.g., SCADA/Historian)

Perform regular checks and patrols on the manufacturing line to ensure operators are adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and that process settings match the defined Control Plan

Perform approved adjustments to process control settings or equipment setup under the direction of the Process Engineer to maintain stability and compliance

Immediately report any significant deviations, abnormal equipment readings, or out-of-spec product conditions to the Process Engineer or Production Supervisor

Assist engineers in the investigation and troubleshooting of low yield, scrap, or process stability issues, including gathering test samples, performing visual inspections, and conducting simple tests

Support the execution of process trials, experiments (DOE), and process validation runs, ensuring trial parameters are strictly followed and results are accurately recorded

Assist in setting up and calibrating process-specific tooling, fixtures, and measurement devices as required by the engineering specifications

Perform routine, light maintenance and checks on process equipment (e.g., cleaning sensors, replacing filters, checking fluid levels) to ensure optimal function

Initiate work orders in the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) for equipment repairs that require specialized maintenance intervention

Maintain a high standard of cleanliness and organization (5S methodology) around all process equipment and test areas

About you

Able to work rotating shifts

Minimum Technical Diploma, Vocational Certificate, or Associate's Degree in Engineering Technology (e.g., Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, or Mechanical)

0-2 years of experience in a manufacturing, engineering, or technical support role

Experience gained through internships or co-op programs in a process-driven environment is a significant asset

Fundamental understanding of engineering principles and basic process unit operations (e.g., fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, assembly)

Basic literacy in statistical concepts and data analysis tools (e.g., Excel)

Ability to read and interpret basic Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and technical drawings

Awareness of manufacturing quality systems (e.g., ISO 9001) and safety standards

Ability to take technical direction effectively from senior engineers and communicate clearly with production floor operators

Expected to maintain excellent professionalism and data integrity
