Senior Process Engineer
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, recruitment agencies, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract content.
About the role: Combine the introductory paragraph: "THE ROLE: This position will report to the: Plant Director Travel Requirement: 15% Location: Bakersfield, CA FLSA Status: Exempt Employment Category: Full Time - Regular Pay Range: $110,000-$130,000 Generous Brands is dedicated to inspiring people to thrive through the power of vibrant nutrition through its leading brands, Bolthouse Farms, Health-Ade, and Evolution Fresh. Generous Brands partners with SAMBAZON to manufacture, distribute and sell SAMBAZON branded beverages. Bolthouse Farms is a pre-eminent provider of chilled juice, smoothies, shakes, and protein drinks. Health-Ade is the fastest growing kombucha brand, dedicated to creating bubbly beverages that boost gut health. Evolution Fresh is a premier cold-pressed juice brand with national availability.

We should keep that as prose in
. Possibly split into multiple paragraphs but okay.
Responsibilities: The paragraph after "WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IN THIS ROLE" then bullet list.
Paragraph: "The Senior Process Engineer is a hands-on manufacturing engineering role and senior technical leader responsible for improving the stability, repeatability, throughput, yield, quality, and cost performance of Bakersfield processing systems. The role works directly with Operations, Maintenance, Quality/Food Safety, Engineering, Continuous Improvement, and OEM/vendor resources to identify chronic process losses, determine root causes, set technical direction, and implement sustainable corrective actions. A critical responsibility is translating process needs into effective automation and control solutions. The Senior Process Engineer will work in close partnership with a Controls Engineer or Automation Specialist to develop functional requirements, troubleshoot control-related process issues, support and validate PLC/HMI, sequence, recipe, setpoint, interlock, instrumentation, and alarm changes, and confirm that improvements deliver the intended process result. This position provides the process expertise required to make controls changes effective and sustainable and is not intended to replace the controls/automation function."
Then bullet list items each starting with •. We'll convert each to
- .
Requirements: Minimum qualifications + Additional Required Qualifications.
Minimum: bullet list:
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Food Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Minimum 7 years of process/manufacturing engineering experience in food, beverage, dairy, liquid nutrition, pharmaceutical, or another highly automated sanitary liquid-processing environment.
- Demonstrated experience working directly with Controls/Automation personnel on automated process systems and control-related process improvements.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to create clear technical documentation, operating standards, and engineering deliverables.
Additional Required Qualifications bullet list (the long list). We'll include those.
We could combine both under Requirements heading.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list.
Skills: Could extract skill-like items from responsibilities or qualifications? But we already have many skill items in qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can put technical skills under Skills heading: e.g., ability to read and interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, etc.; ability to partner with Controls/Automation; working knowledge of thermal processing fundamentals; experience troubleshooting...; ability to use process historians; strong cross-functional leadership... etc. However many of those are already in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could decide not to have Skills section if content overlaps heavily. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could omit Skills if its content is covered elsewhere. However we have a heading for Skills; we could include it if we have distinct skill items not already captured. Let's see: The qualifications include ability to read and interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, process trends, electrical/control drawings, HMI screens, I/O information, and PLC logic; ability to partner effectively with Controls/Automation personnel; working knowledge of thermal processing fundamentals; experience troubleshooting automated pre-sterilization, production, intermediate cleaning, CIP, startup, shutdown, diversion/reject, and aseptic sequence conditions; ability to use process historians, trend data, downtime/OEE information, and structured root-cause analysis tools; strong cross-functional leadership, communication, organization, facilitation, and technical documentation skills; ability to manage multiple changing priorities, respond effectively to urgent production issues, and maintain disciplined follow-through; commitment to plant safety, lockout/tagout, PPE, management-of-change practices, engineering standards, and protection of critical food-safety and quality controls.
These are skills indeed. Could put them under Skills heading. But then Requirements would be just education and experience minimums. However the instruction says to use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid overlapping content but we should avoid duplication. Perhaps better: Requirements = Minimum qualifications (education, years experience). Qualifications = Additional required qualifications (the long list). Skills = Preferred qualifications (or skill-specific items). But we already have Preferred qualifications list. Could treat that as Qualifications and Additional required as Requirements? Hmm.
Let's map:
- About the role: intro.
- Responsibilities: responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Minimum qualifications (education, years experience, direct controls experience, MS Office proficiency).
- Qualifications: Additional required qualifications (the long list of technical abilities).
- Skills: Preferred qualifications (the list of preferred experience/skills). Or we could put preferred under Qualifications and leave Skills empty (but we shouldn't create empty heading). So we need Skills with real content. Preferred qualifications list is substantive.
Thus:
Requirements: Minimum qualifications.
Qualifications: Additional required qualifications.
Skills: Preferred qualifications.
Benefits: list.
Pay: Pay range.
Schedule: Hours & workdays.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now extract each list precisely.
Let's copy the Minimum Qualifications bullet list exactly as in text:
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Food Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 7 years of process/manufacturing engineering experience in food, beverage, dairy, liquid nutrition, pharmaceutical, or another highly automated sanitary liquid-processing environment.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with Controls/Automation personnel on automated process systems and control-related process improvements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to create clear technical documentation, operating standards, and engineering deliverables.
Additional Required Qualifications bullet list (the long one). Let's copy exactly:
• Strong working knowledge of sanitary liquid processing, including sanitary piping, pumps, valves, tanks, heat exchangers, instrumentation, CIP, thermal processing, and automated process systems.
• Demonstrated ability to solve recurring manufacturing process problems and convert data and analysis into sustained operational improvements.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, process trends, electrical/control drawings, HMI screens, I/O information, and PLC logic sufficiently to diagnose process-control interactions.
• Ability to partner effectively with Controls/Automation personnel to translate process requirements into PLC/HMI, sequence, recipe, setpoint, instrumentation, interlock, permissive, and control-logic changes.
• Working knowledge of thermal processing fundamentals, including heat transfer, holding time/temperature relationships, regeneration, flash/vacuum cooling, homogenization, aseptic tanks, sterile boundaries, and product recovery.
• Experience troubleshooting automated pre-sterilization, production, intermediate cleaning, CIP, startup, shutdown, diversion/reject, and aseptic sequence conditions.
• Ability to use process historians, trend data, downtime/OEE information, and structured root-cause analysis tools to identify, prioritize, and verify improvement opportunities.
• Strong cross-functional leadership, communication, organization, facilitation, and technical documentation skills, with the ability to influence execution without relying solely on formal authority.
• Ability to manage multiple changing priorities, respond effectively to urgent production issues, and maintain disciplined follow-through on corrective actions.
• Commitment to plant safety, lockout/tagout, PPE, management-of-change practices, engineering standards, and protection of critical food-safety and quality controls.
Preferred Qualifications bullet list:
• 10+ years of relevant process/manufacturing engineering experience in highly automated sanitary liquid processing.
• Hands-on experience with Tetra Pak Tetra Therm Aseptic VTIS systems or comparable direct/indirect UHT and aseptic thermal processing systems.
• Experience with low-acid and/or high-acid beverage processing, pasteurization, UHT/aseptic systems, evaporation/concentration, and sanitary liquid processing.
• Experience with Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or comparable PLC/HMI platforms; ability to read and troubleshoot control logic is strongly preferred, and hands-on programming capability is a plus.
• Experience with equipment commissioning, FAT/SAT, production startup, AutoCAD, historian/SCADA tools, statistical analysis, process simulation, or project-management tools.
Now Benefits list: "WHAT WE OFFER plus more! Our rich benefits packages are designed to support the health and well-being of both our eligible team members and families. Medical, Dental & Vision Group Life and AD&D Voluntary Life and AD&D Group Short & Long-Term Disability 401(k) Paid Time Off Flexible Spending Accounts Employee Assistance Program Gym Membership Discounts"
We need to format as list items. Could split by commas? The original seems to be a sentence with benefits separated by spaces. We'll create
- for each benefit: Medical, Dental & Vision; Group Life and AD&D; Voluntary Life and AD&D; Group Short & Long-T
for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, recruitment agencies, etc. We must preserve all substantive information.
