Long-Term Role Compensation:

From $108,000 annually + retention bonuses Help launch a new advanced chemical manufacturing facility. TCL Specialties LLC is seeking an experienced Startup & Commissioning Superintendent to help bring our new advanced chemical manufacturing facility in New Martinsville, West Virginia online. This is a high-impact opportunity to lead late-stage commissioning, startup execution, procedure development, safe ramp-up, and early stabilization for a major greenfield operation. TCL's West Virginia site represents a significant Phase I investment and is part of a broader long-term expansion strategy, making this an especially attractive opportunity for a proven startup leader who wants to help build something from the ground up. This role is ideal for a hands-on operations leader with deep experience in continuous-process manufacturing, especially in chemical, petrochemical, refining, gas processing, power/utility, or related industrial operations. If you have led operators through startup, shutdown, troubleshooting, and safe operating readiness — and you thrive in the field rather than behind a desk — we want to hear from you. While this role is project-based, TCL is looking for a strong technical leader who can make an immediate impact during startup and be considered for future long-term opportunities as the facility transitions into steady-state operations and future growth phases. TCL's public reporting on the site emphasizes commissioning, startup, stabilization, and future expansion, which makes that path especially credible for the right candidate.
