Process Engineering Technician – Weekend Shift

About the Role

GEOTEK manufactures engineered fiberglass composite structures for utility infrastructure using continuous manufacturing processes- pultrusion and filament winding. We've been doing it for over 30 years and we're growing.

We're hiring a Process Engineering Technician to be the engineering presence on our floor over the weekend. You'll be the person operations comes to when something isn't running right- troubleshooting, running trials, designing tooling in SolidWorks, and pushing improvements that stick.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You're not shadowing an engineer waiting for direction. You're the one making the call and following through.

What You'll Do

• Lead weekend day-shift engineering support for filament winding and pultrusion production
  Troubleshoot production issues and drive root cause analysis with operations crews
• Own continuous improvement projects from problem identification through implementation
• Design fixtures, tooling, and ancillary components in SolidWorks
• Build and maintain work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and process documentation
• Support engineering R&D and process trials
• Train and coach production operators on process and equipment
• Challenge how we do things today and propose better equipment, tooling, and methods

What We're Looking For

• Two or Four-year technical degree (mechanical, chemical, composites, or similar) preferred- equivalent hands‑on manufacturing experience will be considered
• Working knowledge of SolidWorks- parts, assemblies, and drawings
• Comfortable working a Friday - Monday schedule
• Strong communicator with everyone from line operators to plant leadership
• Organized and detail-oriented

Physical Work Conditions

Time should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs. While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.

The compensation range for this position is $49,131 – $73,956. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications. The posted range represents the expected earning potential for this position within the current organizational budget and market conditions.
