role at
NatureWorks Polymer Plant Process Engineer 2
Location:
Blair, Nebraska (Plant-Based)
Reports to:
Director of Plant Operations
We’re looking for an experienced Process Engineer who’s ready to take ownership, drive improvements, and be a steady, positive force on the plant floor.
If you enjoy solving complex problems, staying close to operations, coaching others, and steadily making things better — we want to meet you. This isn’t a role for someone looking to sit behind a desk. It’s for someone who wants to make a real difference day in and day out.
What You’ll Do
Serve as a hands-on technical leader in our polymer operations — troubleshooting issues, identifying root causes, and delivering practical solutions. Lead and support process improvements focused on yield, cost, and quality. You’ll dig into data, collaborate with operations, and implement real change. Provide technical coaching and leadership to the team — sharing knowledge, elevating operating discipline, and helping others succeed. Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure safe, stable, and reliable operations.
What You Bring
A degree in chemical or mechanical engineering At least 5 years of experience in process design or operations — preferably in polymers, chemicals, or similar manufacturing environments Strong technical depth and a bias for action A calm, collaborative approach — able to work with operations, maintenance, and leadership effectively The ability to focus on what matters, communicate clearly, and follow through
Why This Role Might Be Right for You
You want to be close to the plant — working with operators and equipment, not behind glass. You’re driven by technical excellence and take pride in doing things the right way. You like finding better ways to run things and enjoy helping others do their best work. You value team culture — showing up, doing the work, and supporting each other.
Compensation & Benefits
Pay Range: $105,000 to $115,000 with 8% annual bonus potential Paid Time Off: 3 weeks of vacation, 3 floating holidays, and 9 company-paid holidays Family Sick Time: 6 days per year 401(k) Plan: 5.5% automatic contribution plus 50% match on the first 6% Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision Disability Coverage: Fully paid Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Day-One Benefits: All benefits begin on your first day of employment
