Boise, ID (Onsite/Hybrid)
We're looking for an Intermediate/Associate Process Chemical Engineer in Boise, ID who is excited about working on projects that enable the heart of our clients’ business. Join us and you’ll have the chance to work on projects including state-of-the-art industrial and commercial facilities. You will support your team, working closely with client stakeholders in a fast-paced, dynamic environment to establish design requirements and produce construction documents for the installation of complex manufacturing tools, tenant improvements, and core facility infrastructure upgrades. Responsibilities include design and layout for wet and dry piping, equipment layout, process mechanical, process chemical piping, and gases for extensive tools in some of the most complex, densely packed industrial facilities on the planet. The design may include retrofit of existing building systems to accommodate tool installation, including engineering calculations, equipment and component sizing, selection, and specification, and support during construction and integration into the factory. Technical engineering responsibilities include design and oversight for piping and equipment related to process mechanical systems, water, wastewater, process chemicals, and gases. As a chemical process representative on a multi-discipline design team, you will work directly with other CLIENT's design staff, client equipment owners, stakeholders, and equipment manufacturers of next-generation and prototype tools to build utility requirement documents to allow the development of installation design packages. Your multi-discipline, highly interactive team will successfully deliver on the design, development, application, evaluation, recommendation, and specification of engineered systems and products for building construction. You and the other team members will work closely with client stakeholders in a fast-paced, dynamic environment to establish design requirements and produce construction documents for the installation of complex manufacturing tools, tenant improvements, and core facility infrastructure upgrades. You will interact directly with clients and contractors throughout the design process and assist with RFI and submittal services on site during the construction phase. If you’re up for the challenge, we’ve been looking for someone just like you. Join our team and help us lay the foundation for human progress.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in chemical process engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's degree or higher in chemical engineering from an ABET-accredited program
- Proficiency in process simulation software such as Aspen Plus or HYSYS

- Familiarity with P&ID development, PFDs, and process design documentation
- Knowledge of regulatory compliance standards including EPA and OSHA PSM
- Professional Engineer licensure or active progress toward PE certification
Tips for Your Chemical Process Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to process specifics
List the unit operations you've worked with directly, such as distillation, heat exchange, or reactor design, and name the simulation tools you've used. Generic chemical engineering resumes get filtered out fast when hiring managers are scanning for exact process experience.
Highlight your process safety credentials
Many chemical process engineer openings require or strongly prefer PSM experience, HAZOP participation, or a Process Safety Management certification. Calling these out near the top of your resume signals you understand the compliance environment before the interview starts.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists chemical process engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target job postings by feedstock or chemistry type
Search using terms like refinery, polymer, API manufacturing, or specialty batch rather than just your job title. Companies often write postings around their process chemistry, so matching your search language to theirs surfaces roles that generic title searches miss.
Prepare a process improvement example before interviews
Interviewers at chemical companies almost always ask for a specific example of a process you optimized, a yield you improved, or a downtime issue you solved. Have one story ready with real context about the unit operation, what you changed, and the measurable outcome.
Negotiate around relocation and site assignment
Many chemical process engineer roles are tied to a specific plant or production site, so negotiate relocation support, reporting structure, and future site-transfer options before accepting. These details are rarely in the offer letter and become much harder to revisit once you start.
Chemical Process Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most chemical process engineers?
The companies hiring the most chemical process engineers right now include Dennis, Lam Research, and Audubon Companies, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Louisiana, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand tends to be heaviest at integrated energy, specialty chemicals, and large pharmaceutical manufacturers.
How many chemical process engineer jobs are remote?
About 9% of chemical process engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which is lower than most engineering disciplines because the work is tied to physical plant operations. Roles that do offer remote flexibility tend to be in process design, simulation modeling, or technical sales support rather than day-to-day production engineering.
How do you become a chemical process engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from an ABET-accredited program, which covers thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mass transfer, and reactor design. Internships or co-ops at a refinery, chemical plant, or pharmaceutical manufacturer during school are the fastest way to build the plant-floor context employers want. After graduation, many engineers pursue a Professional Engineer license as their experience grows, which opens doors to senior design and consulting roles.
Can you get a chemical process engineer job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level chemical process engineer roles exist specifically for recent graduates, though employers expect you to demonstrate hands-on process exposure from co-ops, internships, or senior capstone design projects. Highlighting specific unit operations you worked with, any simulation software you used in coursework, and any lab safety or compliance training you completed helps your application stand out against others with similar academic credentials.
What does the chemical process engineer interview process look like?
Most chemical process engineer interviews run in multiple rounds, starting with a phone screen focused on your process background and education, followed by a technical interview that covers thermodynamics, process design, and safety principles, sometimes including a case study or take-home problem. A final on-site or virtual panel typically includes engineers, a hiring manager, and occasionally a plant operations lead, who will probe your experience with specific unit operations and your approach to troubleshooting process upsets.
Where can I find and apply to chemical process engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to chemical process engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your process background and specialization, and apply directly to each listing from the page.
