Plant Engineers

The Plant Engineering team is comprised of Staff Engineers at each of our plant locations throughout the United States. These Engineers are responsible for the management and execution of projects at their respective locations. Projects can involve many facets including facilities upgrades, plant instrumentation and controls, new equipment installations, existing equipment modifications and plant layout and configuration.

Plant Engineers are responsible for projects from development of the concept to selecting and negotiating with vendors and commissioning and start-up activities.
