Process Engineering Technician
About The Role
GEOTEK manufactures engineered fiberglass composite structures for utility infrastructure using continuous manufacturing processes- pultrusion and filament winding. We've been doing it for over 30 years and we're growing. We're hiring a Process Engineering Technician to be the engineering presence on our floor over the weekend. You'll be the person operations comes to when something isn't running right- troubleshooting, running trials, designing tooling in SolidWorks, and pushing improvements that stick. This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You're not shadowing an engineer waiting for direction. You're the one making the call and following through.
What You'll Do
- Lead weekend day-shift engineering support for filament winding and pultrusion production
- Troubleshoot production issues and drive root cause analysis with operations crews
- Own continuous improvement projects from problem identification through implementation
- Design fixtures, tooling, and ancillary components in SolidWorks
- Build and maintain work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and process documentation
- Support engineering R&D and process trials
- Train and coach production operators on process and equipment
- Challenge how we do things today and propose better equipment, tooling, and methods
What We're Looking For
- Two or Four-year technical degree (mechanical, chemical, composites, or similar) preferred- equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience will be considered
- Working knowledge of SolidWorks- parts, assemblies, and drawings
- Comfortable working a Friday - Monday schedule
- Self Starter
- Strong communicator with everyone from line operators to plant leadership
- Organized and detail-oriented
Physical Work Conditions
Time should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs. While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.
Pay
The compensation range for this position is $49,131 – $73,956. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications.
