Process Engineer – Food & Beverage

This role centers on stabilizing yields, efficiency, and product quality across a beverage production line covering mixing, pasteurization, and filling. The Process Engineer will spend most of their time on the floor mapping loss trees, running experiments, troubleshooting bottlenecks, and locking in improvements through SOPs and operator coaching. The expectation is practical, hands-on engineering rather than slide-making.

You will lead structured problem-solving and continuous improvement initiatives, including DOE trials, pasteurization curve tuning, CIP cycle optimization, and faster changeovers. Close collaboration with QA ensures throughput improvements never compromise product standards. Standardizing work, certifying operator competency, and embedding good manufacturing discipline are central to sustaining gains.

The role also carries a financial impact dimension: tracking COGS deltas, quantifying savings, and publishing weekly improvement logs to maintain visibility of progress. Strong analytical capability, comfort with SPC/DOE tools, and fluency in P&IDs, heat transfer principles, and CIP/SIP systems are essential.
