Operations Engineer - Operations Rotation Program

Operations Engineer - Operations Rotation Program Requirements: - Engineering Degree (Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, or Industrial preferred), with a GPA of 3.0 or higher - 0-2 years' experience in an engineering capacity - Available to relocate for the duration of the program to an assigned site, and again at the end of the program, based on business need and fit. - Knowledge of engineering principles, theory, and engineering experience gained through projects, internships, and/or relevant work experiences - Fundamental understanding of engineering for a manufacturing environment, design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems and processes that safely realize a desired objective or invention - Communication and analytical skills, technical knowledge, and problem-solving skills - Experience leading people in various manufacturing capacities {=html} Preferred: - Relevant internships / co-ops / apprenticeships, preferably in a manufacturing environment - Demonstrated leadership in professional, service, social, or student organizations Summary The Program is a 12-month development program at an evaporation or solar site for production, technical, and leadership development. This program is for chemical, industrial, or mechanical engineers who have recently earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, or a master's degree in engineering. Over the course of the program, the engineer will participate in three to four distinct rotational assignments, ranging from three to four months in length. Rotations may include working in the following departments: - Production - Mill - Maintenance - Shipping Each program participant will be mentored by seasoned technical, operations, and maintenance professionals. The Operations Rotation Program begins in Spring or Summer 2027 and positions are available in several locations throughout the United States, including Glendale, AZ; Hutchinson, KS; Silver Springs, NY; Grantsville, UT; and Port Canaveral, FL. Each program participant will gain exposure to fundamentals in a manufacturing environment, such as: - Safety leadership - Supervisory leadership - Maintenance planning - Systems, process and product technologies - Operational management - Financial and sales acumen {=html} Duties and Responsibilities - Monitor and revise processes to improve the safety, quality and efficiency of the product and / or process and generate cost savings. - Responsible for activities related to the development of new processes including researching current and emerging technologies, evaluating process safety, quality and cost. - Apply engineering understanding in a hands-on environment, troubleshooting issues, and collaborating with others for optimal results. - Identify and solve issues with processes and equipment. Troubleshoot possible causes and coordinate the activities of maintenance, production and other available resources to implement cost effective solutions. - Apply mechanical, manufacturing, systems and/or industrial engineering knowledge to analyze and optimize an engineering process or processes. - Improve plant performance by designing and implementing engineering proposals, process requirements, and related technical data pertaining to industrial machinery and equipment design. - Implement control procedures to achieve project objectives. - Determine feasibility of replacing or modifying plant equipment and facilities considering costs, available space, time limitations, and other technical and economic factors. - Prepare budgets for capital projects by generating scope of work, cost estimates, project papers, technical specifications, and rate of return (ROI). - Oversee the procurement and coordination of necessary materials, quipment, and people to support construction activities. Monitor vendor and contractor performance to achieve project deliverables. - Lead all aspects of project implementation, from planning and scheduling to execution and closeout, while ensuring adherence to safety and quality standards. Manage and mitigate project risks, resolving issues and conflicts to maintain project momentum. - Collaborate and communicate effectively with all project stakeholders and ensure cohesive flow and distribution of project administration and requirements. - Ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards - Participate in all safety processes, lead by example, and ensure all contractors adhere to all safety policies and procedures. {=html} Compensation: $80,000 - $85,000/yearly Morton Salt believes in equal employment opportunity and prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, national origin, sex, religion, color, disability, marital status, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by law.
