Process Engineer Jobs in Oak Brook, IL

A Process Engineer in the manufacturing engineering industry is responsible for designing, implementing, controlling, and optimizing industrial processes. They often work in areas such as factories, plants, or industrial sites, where they help create new system processes, improve existing ones, and reduce costs by finding ways to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources. They also analyze data to identify trends, make process design decisions, and solve production issues. Process Engineers often collaborate with other professionals, such as production managers and quality engineers, to ensure that manufacturing processes meet quality, cost, and efficiency standards.

Essential skills for a Process Engineer include strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, excellent mathematical and statistical knowledge, a good understanding of engineering and industrial principles, and proficiency in using process simulation software. They should also have solid project management abilities, great communication and teamwork skills, and the capacity to work under pressure. Relevant certifications, such as a Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) or a Lean Six Sigma certification, can be beneficial. Before becoming a Process Engineer, a person might have roles such as Process Technician, Manufacturing Engineer, or Quality Control Engineer.
