Apply structured problem-solving and root-cause-analysis methods to recurring process and equipment issues.
Establish appropriate process controls and operating parameters to sustain improvements.

Paper Mill Technical Support

Provide day-to-day engineering support to Operations and Maintenance.
Troubleshoot paper-machine, process, quality, chemical, utility, and related manufacturing issues.
Develop a strong working knowledge of paper-machine processes, equipment capabilities, production performance, and key operating indicators.
Evaluate process testing and trial results and communicate findings and recommendations to Operations and plant leadership.
Support process design, equipment optimization, commissioning, and start-up activities.

Lead and participate in continuous-improvement activities using Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, Total Quality Management, and other structured problem-solving techniques as appropriate.
Facilitate cross-functional teams to identify root causes, develop countermeasures, and implement sustainable corrective actions.
Conduct process and mill audits to identify improvement opportunities and develop action plans.
Track results to ensure improvements achieve the expected operational and business benefits.

Capital Projects & Technology

Identify opportunities where new equipment, automation, instrumentation, or technology can improve mill performance.
Develop capital project justifications and authorization requests.
Manage assigned capital and process-improvement projects from scope development through installation, commissioning, and start-up.
Coordinate project activities with Operations, Maintenance, contractors, vendors, and equipment suppliers.
Support the transfer and implementation of proven technologies and best practices from other manufacturing locations.

Quality & Product Development

Work collaboratively with Quality, Operations, suppliers, and customers to improve existing paper grades and support development or qualification of new products and process changes.
Investigate process-related quality issues and identify corrective and preventive actions.
Develop process-control plans that support consistent product quality and sustainable long-term improvement.
Coordinate and evaluate chemical and process trials designed to improve paper-machine performance or product characteristics.

Standardization & Training

Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, process documentation, operating guidelines, and standard work instructions.
Manage and document engineering and process changes, ensuring process and control records remain current.
Work directly with operators and technicians to strengthen process knowledge and troubleshooting capability.
Develop or support technical training associated with process changes, new equipment, operating standards, and process improvements.

Safety & Environmental Responsibilities

Demonstrate visible leadership and personal accountability for workplace safety.
Incorporate safety and environmental considerations into process changes, equipment modifications, trials, and capital projects.
Evaluate processes and operating conditions to identify opportunities to reduce operational risk.
Work collaboratively with Operations and Maintenance to ensure process improvements do not compromise safe operating practices.

This position is located onsite in City of Industry, CA.
