Position Title: Process Engineer Supervisor

Position Summary: The process engineer supervisor responsibilities is to supervise refining operations and packaging on assigned shifts with a focus on implementing process improvements to the refining process.

After the mastering of the refining process and improvement projects this role will undertake the same process in rendering and other areas of the production environment.

Position responsibilities:

1. Process Improvement and Optimization

 Evaluate existing manufacturing and processing operations to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, equipment limitations, and opportunities for improvement.

 Analyze process variables, operating conditions, production data, and equipment performance to improve process consistency and efficiency.

 Develop and implement practical process improvements that increase throughput, improve yields,reduce waste, and lower operating costs.

 Review and optimize processing parameters, including temperatures, flow rates, residence times,mixing, heating, cooling, and other relevant operating conditions.

 Lead root-cause investigations into recurring production issues, process deviations, and equipment-related inefficiencies.

 Establish standard operating procedures and best practices to improve repeatability and operational performance.

2. Production Supervision and Operational Support

 Provide hands-on supervision and technical support to production personnel to ensure processes operate safely, efficiently, and according to established standards.

 Monitor production performance and work with operators to resolve process issues and minimize downtime.

 Coordinate with production and maintenance teams to improve equipment reliability, reduce unplanned stoppages, and support effective preventive maintenance.

 Ensure process changes are properly evaluated, documented, communicated, and implemented.

 Assist with production planning, process trials, equipment commissioning, and the introduction of new or modified operating procedures

 Coach employees on process control, troubleshooting, operating discipline, and continuous improvement practices.

3. Data Analysis and Performance Management

 Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), including production throughput, process yield, downtime, waste, energy consumption, and operating costs.

 Collect and analyze production data to identify trends,



determine root causes, and prioritize improvement opportunities.

 Prepare reports and present findings, recommendations, and project results to management.

 Develop action plans with measurable objectives, timelines, and expected operational benefits.

 Verify the effectiveness of implemented improvements and ensure gains are sustained over time.

4. Quality, Food Safety, and Environmental Compliance

 Work with Quality Assurance to maintain product specifications, process controls, traceability, and applicable food safety requirements.

 Ensure process improvements are consistent with established quality systems, sanitation procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements.

 Promote safe work practices, hazard identification, and compliance with occupational health and safety requirements.

 Identify opportunities to reduce raw material losses, energy use, water consumption, and waste generation.

 Support environmental and sustainability initiatives that improve resource utilization and operational efficiency.

5. Engineering Projects and Continuous Improvement

 Identify opportunities for equipment upgrades, process automation, instrumentation improvements, and operational modernization.

 Develop technical recommendations and support the evaluation of capital projects and process modifications.

 Work with engineering contractors, equipment suppliers, maintenance personnel, and internal stakeholders on improvement projects.

 Apply structured continuous improvement methods, such as Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, root- cause analysis, and process mapping, where appropriate.

 Lead improvement projects from initial assessment through implementation, performance verification, and standardization

Qualifications and Experience

 Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,

Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

 Three to five years of experience in manufacturing, process engineering, production supervision,



or continuous improvement; relevant experience may be considered in place of a specific tenure requirement.

 Experience in food processing, edible oils, fats and oils processing, rendering, chemical processing, or another process-driven manufacturing environment is preferred.

 Demonstrated ability to analyze manufacturing processes, troubleshoot technical problems, and implement practical improvements.

 Experience working with production equipment, process controls, operating procedures, and manufacturing performance data.

 Strong understanding of process optimization, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement principles.

 Experience leading projects and working collaboratively with production, maintenance, an quality teams.

 Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

 Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other tools used for production analysis and reporting.

 Qualifications

 4 year chemical or mechanical engineering degree

 Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, 5S, or other continuous improvement methodologies.

 Familiarity with food safety systems, GMP, HACCP, and quality management practices.

 Knowledge of industrial heating and cooling systems, pumps, tanks, piping, filtration, mixing, and process instrumentation.

 Experience with process monitoring, automation, data analysis, or manufacturing performance dashboards.

 Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or eligibility for professional registration in Ontario is an asset, but not necessarily required.

 Excellent computer skills

 Self-starter with a proven track record of multi-tasking abilities.

 Impeccable attention to detail and a high degree of accuracy.
