is a global specialty chemical company that develops and manufactures high-performance polymers and specialty chemicals for demanding automotive, industrial, consumer, healthcare, electronics, optical, and packaging applications. Are you the engineer people call when a process is losing yield, equipment repeatedly fails, or a critical project needs to move from concept to successful startup? I'm recruiting a Plant Engineer for EMS-CHEMIE's manufacturing operation in Sumter. This is not a facilities-engineering position. You will support batch polymerization and polymer compounding and extrusion operations, combining process engineering, plant troubleshooting, project execution, reliability improvement, and manufacturing scale-up.

• Identify process constraints, chronic losses, and recurring equipment problems
• Improve throughput, cycle time, yield, product quality, waste, equipment availability, and operating cost
• Lead structured root-cause investigations and verify corrective actions
• Plan and execute trials involving new products, raw materials, recipes, and process conditions
• Develop project scopes, estimates, business cases, and funding requests
• Lead projects through design, procurement, installation, commissioning, startup, and operational handover
• Partner with Production, Maintenance, EHS, Quality, R D, Engineering, Supply Chain, vendors, and contractors Your results will be visible and measurable: reduced downtime, stronger process performance, successful product introductions, and projects delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget. What We're Looking For
• Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Polymer/Plastics, or a related engineering discipline-or equivalent directly relevant experience
• At least three years of process, production, project, or plant-engineering experience
• Experience in chemical, polymer, or another process-manufacturing environment
• Strong process and equipment troubleshooting skills using data and structured root-cause analysis
• Experience executing technical-improvement or capital projects
• Ability to influence, coordinate, and provide technical direction across departments Experience with batch polymerization, compounding, extrusion, pelletizing, process controls, manufacturing-data systems, equipment commissioning, CMMS, ISO 9001, or

would be particularly valuable.
