Consteel EAF Process Engineer

About the Role: We are seeking a Process Engineer to bridge the gap between engineering theory and hands-on production in our heavy industrial steelmaking facility. In this role, you will serve as a technical subject matter expert across key production units (Consteel, EAF, LMF, VTD, and Continuous Caster), driving process optimization, root-cause troubleshooting, and quality control to boost plant efficiency and safety.

What You’ll Do: Process Improvement & Optimization: Identify plant bottlenecks, perform root-cause analysis (RCA), and implement data-driven initiatives to reduce waste (scrap/slag) and improve yield. Technical Ownership: Provide immediate engineering support to production and maintenance teams to resolve day-to-day operational challenges. Standardization: Develop, refine, and enforce clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure repeatable quality, operational stability, and strong safety compliance. Quality & Data Analytics: Collaborate with metallurgical quality teams to investigate defects, leverage Statistical Process Control (SPC), and improve final product consistency. Sustainability & Safety: Lead process adjustments that support energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and a safety-first workplace culture. The Candidate Will Possess

Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical, Chemical, Materials, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Industrial Experience: Practical background or exposure to heavy manufacturing, primary metals, or foundry operations (steelmaking environment strongly preferred).Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with core production equipment (EAF, LMF, VTD, Caster) and engineering problem-solving tools (SPC, RCA, 5-Why, Fishbone diagrams).Collaborative Leadership: Strong communication skills to effectively collaborate across cross-functional teams, including Operations, Maintenance, Quality, and Safety. Operational Drive: A proactive approach to troubleshooting, high attention to detail, and a commitment to zero-incident safety standards. Compensation & Perks

Competitive Salary: $110,000-125,000 / year (commensurate with experience)

Performance Bonus: Annual incentive / profit-sharing eligibility

Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting Day 15 Retirement Plan: 401(k) with employer match Time Off: Paid vacation, personal days, and paid holidays Career Growth: Ongoing professional development and training opportunities Key Performance Metrics (KPIs) for Success Production & Efficiency: Drive overall yield improvement, increase production rates (tons per hour), and reduce energy consumption and operating costs per ton. Quality & Reliability: Lower scrap and rework rates, improve First-Pass Yield (FPY) and Process Capability Index, and reduce quality-related customer complaints. Safety & Environment: Minimize safety incident rates, reduce environmental excursions, and lower hazardous waste generation. Project Execution & Support: Complete capital and process improvement projects on time and on budget while maximizing ROI and maintaining SOP compliance.
