Process Engineer/Maintenance & Support Systems

ADVERTISEMENT SUMMARY

Engineering talent is in high demand—but not every role respects work-life balance. This position is designed for engineers who want meaningful technical challenges, geographic flexibility, and a culture that values results over optics.

Our biggest opportunity—and challenge—comes from seven years of rapid acquisitions that have left us with similar but non-standardized operations. This is a national, multi-plant role where you manage your own schedule, work directly with plant-level customers, and travel as needed to drive real operational impact.

We work hard, but we do so in an environment that is free of politics and still retains a strong family feel despite our continued growth. We're looking for an engineer who values autonomy, flexibility, and impact—and who wants to help shape the future of our business in a highly visible, high-influence role.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Maintenance and Support System Process Engineer is responsible for working with sites within AMP's network to apply best practices to our Maintenance and Support Systems. This includes auditing, training, development of action plans, and supporting those plans through project management and facilitation. A primary component of this role involves the exercise of independent judgement and discretion related to AMP Maintenance and Support Systems.
