**About This Opportunity**

You’re not just solving problems; you’re defining the standard. We’re looking for a Principal Process Engineer to become the technical cornerstone for our chemical operations in Savannah, Georgia. This is where deep process expertise meets leadership, where you’ll shape critical projects, mentor the next generation of engineers, and directly influence the quality and innovation of everything we do. If you’re ready to be the go-to expert and see your ideas championed at the highest levels, this is your role.

**What You’ll Do**

You will tackle the most complex process challenges, from troubleshooting day-to-day operations to designing the future of our facilities. Your days will be a dynamic mix of deep technical work and leadership. You’ll develop and review comprehensive process design packages—including PFDs, P&IDs, and control narratives—for new and unique projects. A key part of your role will be guiding and supporting junior engineers, enhancing the team’s overall technical capability.

Your expertise will be vital in ensuring safety and efficiency. You’ll engage in PHA and HAZOP sessions with Safety and Environmental teams to identify and mitigate risks.
