    What does a Process Engineer do?

    Process Engineers work in the manufacturing industry to build and oversee the design and production of a facility’s processes. They’ll regularly meet with production managers to determine what their current processes consist of and will collaborate with them to make adjustments accordingly. They’ll also perform risk assessments to determine what kind of improvements could be made to keep the facility running smoothly and efficiently.

    Process Engineers are also responsible for reviewing safety and quality standards to ensure the facility is properly meeting these guidelines. They’ll use these guidelines to design and test their own process upgrades and new systems to see if they meet quality standards and regulations. Process Engineers will then update Product Managers of any changes by providing them with operating instructions and process documents with instructions and details listed.
