Full Job Description

Senior Blow Molding Process Engineer | Regional Travel (Midwest & Southeast)

Are you an expert in high-complexity blow molding processes who is ready for a clear, direct path into technical leadership?

We are searching for a Senior Blow Molding Process Engineer to join an established industry leader based out of Lexington, KY. This is not a routine maintenance or line-level operator position. You will work side-by-side with one of the most respected blow molding experts in the country—learning a highly proprietary system architecture, gaining full access to advanced custom programming, and stepping into a defined leadership hierarchy as the premier technical authority across multiple regional facilities.

If you are looking for an opportunity where your technical mastery is valued, your input directly shapes operations, and your long-term career growth is guaranteed, this is your next step.

Key Technical Responsibilities

Oversee, optimize, and refine high-volume, multi-layer blow molding operations (including 3-layer applications using EVOH, Nylon, and PCR materials).
Manage, troubleshoot, and optimize Parison Weight Control Systems (PWCS), controlling complex mandrel drops and material distribution during parison purge for maximum efficiency and material savings.
Drive machine control and processing improvements using both linear and circumferential programming.
Interface directly with state-of-the-art PLC-driven control systems across converted equipment networks, utilizing advanced remote programming and live screen monitoring to fine-tune operations.
Utilize flexible tooling systems equipped with cylinders and Radio-Wall programming across specialized continuous and industrial products (such as tanks, drums, and heavy-walled containers).
Travel periodically across Midwest and Southeast regional sites to conduct advanced troubleshooting, process optimization, and complex equipment integration.

Requirements

Extensive hands-on background in Blow Molding processing with a proven track record of dialing in, adjusting, and perfecting complex continuous and industrial blow molding setups.
Deep experience with multi-layer processing technologies and technical resin blends (EVOH, Nylon, PCR).
Advanced proficiency in Parison Weight Control Systems (PWCS), wall thickness control, and programming techniques (including linear and circumferential systems).
Strong technical grasp of PLC-driven controls, electrical schematics, and automated machine interfaces.
Willingness to travel across the Midwest and Southeast regions as needed for process rollouts and technical escalations.
Strong desire to learn advanced, custom-coded machine frameworks directly from a veteran expert as part of a long-term technical succession plan.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

Unmatched Mentorship & Career Path: Direct, daily access to top-tier industry knowledge with a structured plan to inherit premier technical leadership.
Cutting-Edge Technology: Work directly with brand-new, modern control systems across a newly upgraded equipment infrastructure.
Competitive Compensation Package: High-level salary, robust benefits, and continuous support for advanced technical development.

Pay: $155,000.00 - $270,000.00 per year

Benefits:
