Through day-to-day plant support, mentorship from experienced engineers, and an independent capstone project, the Co-Op will develop practical skills in technical writing, process optimization, troubleshooting, project management, and process safety while gaining valuable experience within a market-leading Fortune 300 manufacturing organization. Preferred Qualifications Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering or higher. Strong mechanical aptitude; desire to work in a “hands-on” environment Solid troubleshooting skills and the ability to assess the feasibility of engineering designs.
