Are you an experienced chemical or process engineer ready to help bring renewable fuels technology to commercial scale? Join Applied Research Associates’ Better Fuels Group (BFG) — an industry leader in advanced biofuels and sustainable energy — and be part of the team driving the next generation of clean fuel innovation.
We’re looking for a hands-on, creative engineer with strong process design experience to help bridge the gap between pilot testing and full commercial implementation. If you’ve got refinery, renewable diesel, or petrochemical experience — and love solving tough engineering challenges — this is your opportunity to make a global impact.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior Process Engineer, you’ll take ownership of key process engineering and project execution activities that bring cutting-edge renewable fuels technologies to life. You will:
- Develop and deliver engineering data packages (PFDs, P&IDs, H&MBs, equipment specs).
- Review and guide EPC contractor design deliverables to ensure alignment with technology requirements.
- Design and specify major process equipment for renewable fuel and petrochemical systems.
- Support scale-up and commercial implementation of novel renewable processes.
- Create standard operating procedures, startup manuals, and training materials.
- Participate in HAZOP reviews, commissioning, and post-startup optimization.
What We’re Looking For
- B.S. or higher in Chemical Engineering.
- 5–10+ years of experience in refinery, petrochemical, or renewable fuels design or EPC.
- Strong understanding of process design fundamentals, simulation, and heat/material balances.
- Proficiency with DCS/SIS systems and process control integration.
- Experience with HAZOPs, process safety, and startup/commissioning.
- Creative problem solver with a practical mindset and strong communication skills.
- Willingness to travel up to 10% (domestic/international).
Why Join ARA’s Better Fuels Group
- Work on commercial renewable fuel projects that are already being built and operated around the world.
- Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and business leaders developing proven, patented clean-energy technologies.
- Enjoy a culture of innovation, integrity, and balance — where your ideas and initiative are valued.
- Competitive pay, excellent benefits, and opportunities for growth within a respected, employee-owned company.

Mid Level Chemical Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level chemical engineer job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just participation. Highlight projects where you drove decisions, troubleshot process issues independently, or improved yield, safety, or efficiency in a measurable way. Tailor your resume to show depth in a specific area, whether that is process design, reactions, separations, or scale-up, and make clear you can operate with limited oversight from day one.
Which companies hire mid level chemical engineers?
Companies hiring mid level chemical engineers right now include Weaver, Form Energy, and A-Gas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level covers large manufacturers and specialty chemical producers alongside energy companies, pharmaceutical firms, and engineering consultancies that need engineers who can own process work independently.
Are there remote mid level chemical engineer jobs?
Yes, though the role is more on-site than many engineering disciplines because of lab, plant, and pilot work. About 45% of mid level chemical engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in process consulting, technical sales support, regulatory work, and roles focused on modeling or documentation rather than hands-on operations.
How do I move up to a mid level chemical engineer role?
The path from entry level to mid level is built on demonstrated ownership. Early in your career, focus on deepening expertise in one process area, completing projects with increasing independence, and documenting the impact of your contributions. Engineers who move up quickly tend to volunteer for cross-functional work, seek feedback from senior engineers, and show they can troubleshoot and communicate technical decisions without being prompted.
Which industries hire the most mid level chemical engineers?
Mid Level chemical engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Chemicals & Materials, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors drive demand because they rely on process optimization, safety compliance, and continuous improvement work that benefits most from engineers who already have foundational experience and can contribute to complex problems without extensive ramp-up.
