Process Engineering Technician – 2nd Shift
About the Role
GEOTEK manufactures engineered fiberglass composite structures for utility infrastructure using continuous manufacturing processes- pultrusion and filament winding. We've been doing it for over 30 years and we're growing.
We're hiring a Process Engineering Technician to be the engineering presence on our floor during 2nd shift. You'll be the person operations comes to when something isn't running right- troubleshooting, running trials, designing tooling in SolidWorks, and pushing improvements that stick.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You're not shadowing an engineer waiting for direction. You're the one making the call and following through.
- Lead 2nd shift engineering support for filament winding and pultrusion production
- Troubleshoot production issues and drive root cause analysis with operations crews
- Own continuous improvement projects from problem identification through implementation
- Design fixtures, tooling, and ancillary components in SolidWorks
- Build and maintain work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and process documentation
- Support engineering R&D and process trials
- Train and coach production operators on process and equipment
- Challenge how we do things today and propose better equipment, tooling, and methods
What We're Looking For
- Two or Four-year technical degree (mechanical, chemical, composites, or similar) preferred- equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience will be considered
- Working knowledge of SolidWorks- parts, assemblies, and drawings
- Comfortable working a 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM, Monday – Friday schedule
- Self Starter
- Strong communicator with everyone from line operators to plant leadership
- Organized and detail-oriented
Physical Work Conditions
Time should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs. While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.
The compensation range for this position is $49,131 – $73,956. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications. The posted range represents the expected earning potential for this position within the current organizational budget and market conditions.
Who We Are
For over 30 years, GEOTEK has been internationally recognized for industry leading composite technologies, engineering, and service. The company has grown PUPI® into the leading global provider of fiberglass crossarms and is committed to adding and developing other market-leading composite brands for the world's infrastructure. The company was founded in 1990 to manufacture and market Common Sense Fencing and other pultruded fiberglass products. Early on GEOTEK also began producing utility composite crossarms for Pultruded Utility Products, Inc., a company it acquired in 2000 and renamed Pultruded Utility Products International (PUPI) to reflect the global opportunity for these products. PUPI (pronounced "puppy") is a brand of GEOTEK. Using proprietary processes and several patented inventions, GEOTEK manufactures and distributes engineered fiberglass composites that are used by the transmission and distribution power lines and substations. The company is well positioned for sustained growth and profitability through market expansion and new product offerings.

Entry Level Process Engineering Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level process engineering specialist job?
Entry level process engineering specialist roles typically look for candidates with a degree in chemical, industrial, or mechanical engineering alongside any hands-on exposure from internships, co-ops, or academic lab work. Highlighting process improvement projects, familiarity with tools like AutoCAD or Six Sigma methodologies, and a willingness to learn on the job gives candidates a clear edge at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level process engineering specialists?
Companies hiring entry level process engineering specialists right now include Cleveland-Cliffs, Audubon Companies, and ASM, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring tends to come from manufacturers, chemical producers, and industrial operations firms that maintain active pipelines for junior engineers ready to work on the floor from day one.
Are there remote entry level process engineering specialist jobs?
Yes, though most of these roles are on-site given the hands-on nature of process work. About 0% of entry level process engineering specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve documentation, data analysis, or quality systems work rather than direct plant operations.
Are these new grad process engineering specialist jobs?
Yes, many of the openings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op rotations toward that threshold, and considers a strong capstone project or portfolio in place of full-time work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level process engineering specialists?
Entry Level process engineering specialist roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Automotive, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive junior hiring because they rely on continuous process optimization and quality control, creating steady demand for new engineers who can support existing teams and develop technical skills on the job.
