Senior Process Engineer - Monomers

SUMMARY:

The Senior Process Engineer - Monomers will be responsible for four key areas: 1. Monitoring/measuring and reporting monomer operations performance versus design conditions; 2. Troubleshooting performance and quality issues on monomer assets; 3. Providing technical review and support for optimization/debottlenecking projects of existing North American monomer assets; and 4. Leading process design team for new monomer assets in North America. The role will also assist in developing training materials for monomer assets for newly hired or transferred technical and operations personnel for North American monomer production sites.

LOCATION: Georgia, Louisiana, or Mississippi.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
