Under general supervision, provides characterization of process optimization strategies and/or troubleshooting of operational issues in the operations, manufacturing, pilot plant or capital projects environment. Applies basic engineering principles to the design and implementation of system modifications, experiments and/or capital projects. Organizes, analyzes and presents interpretation of results for operational issues or engineering projects of minor scope and complexity.

Functions:

1. Provide solutions to a variety of technical problems of moderate scope and complexity.
2. Under general supervision will evaluate, select and apply standard engineering techniques and procedures. Assistance given for unusual problems.
3. Perform assignments that have clear and specific objectives and require investigation of limited number of variables.
4. Initiate and complete routine technical tasks.

Operations Engineering:
1. Function as a technical expert to equipment or systems regarding troubleshooting operations. Frequently become actively involved in daily operations when required to meet schedules or to resolve complex problems.
2. Routinely audit the operational performance and regulatory compliance of a moderate number of equipment items or systems of significant complexity.
3. Work with research, manufacturing, maintenance, process development, utilities, facilities, quality assurance and/or validation departments in developing requirements and recommendations for system modifications.

Design Engineering:
1. Work under the direct supervision of project managers to complete design, engineering, and construction projects within schedule and budget constraints.
2. Work with consultants, architects and engineering firms on development of standard design documents.
3. Obtain and critique quotes for equipment modifications or installations.
4. Generate rudimentary project cost estimates and schedules. * Other functions may be assigned.
