This facility is a 180-person manufacturing site located near the heart of Kansas City (on the Kansas side). This company has a reputation for holding plant safety to a very high standard and this role will report directly to the engineering manager.
Qualifications:
- B.S. degree in Engineering required
- 2+ years of manufacturing experience, ideally out of PSM-regulated manufacturing environments; things like chemicals, food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, etc.
- Potential candidates should have experience programming PLC controls (Allen Bradley or Rockwell) and instrumentation as well as supporting control system capital projects
This person will serve as one of the go-to process control engineers for this facility and will also support corporate capital projects. This includes programming PLCs, programming instrumentation, upgrading control schemes, troubleshooting issues and working with other engineers on-site to coordinate projects and upgrades. Engineers at this site, in particular, have a lot of autonomy and there are lots of opportunities to make an impact quickly. The engineering manager estimated that there are roughly 1000 I/O points, so plenty to keep busy on. There is currently one other controls engineer at this facility and there is also a senior instrumentation technician that is a part of this team.
