Process Engineer

A process engineer improves how products are made in industries such as chemicals, food, energy, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Your day may include reviewing production data, adjusting temperatures, flow rates, or recipes, troubleshooting a line that is producing waste, and designing changes that raise output or safety. You spend time on the plant floor, in control rooms, and at a computer, working with operators, maintenance crews, quality teams, and managers. Safety is always part of the conversation, so you learn to check risks before any change is made.
