Experience in a high-hazard or regulated manufacturing environment (energetics/chemical experience is a significant plus).
Associates Degree or Bachelor's Degree in a technical field strongly preferred.
Engineering degree from an accredited institution with 10+ years of progressive experience in industrial facility planning and estimating.
Deep experience in Energetics and related processes, specifically within Department of Defense (DoD) project frameworks.
Proven track record in the design and construction of chemical manufacturing facilities utilizing acids, bases, and solvents for energetic material production.
Expert-level knowledge of explosives site safety (DDESB), demilitarization, and environmental regulations (EPA, TDEC, etc.).
Proficiency in Systems Engineering Analysis, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to inform project feasibility and cost accuracy.
Experience providing strategic plant support within a 24/7 manufacturing environment.
Experience managing the procurement and integration of Vendor Skids into complex chemical manufacturing processes.
Deep familiarity with industrial hardware: variable speed drives, positioners, actuators, valves, and plant instrumentation.
Knowledge of industrial network architectures, topologies, cybersecurity, and software validation.
Hands-on experience with multiple control platforms (Siemens PCS7, Simatic Batch, Allen Bradley ControlLogix/PlantPAx).
Experience with Historian databases (Rockwell Vantage Point, Siemens Process Historian) and communication protocols (Profibus, Profinet, Modbus TCP, HART).
Ability to generate and interpret engineering design drawings to verify project scope and material requirements.
