LaSalle Network is seeking a driven Engineer who wants more than routine engineering support. This role will join an already established Engineering team to lead capital projects, modernize aging systems and help elevate a growing PSM program at our Rubbertown flagship plant.

Designed for engineers 2–5 years into their career, this role offers hands-on ownership across pumps, reactors and process systems in a 24/7 chemical manufacturing environment. The Capital Projects Engineer will balance technical rigor with project leadership — managing scope, contractors and execution simultaneously.

What’s the job?

  • Manage multiple CapEx projects at once

  • Lead contractors across mechanical, electrical and specialty trades

  • Upgrade equipment across 10+ reactors

  • Partner with external engineering firms when needed

  • Support continuous improvement initiatives

  • Drive documentation and SAP-based project tracking

What’s needed?

  • Bachelor’s in Mechanical, Chemical or Electrical Engineering

  • 3+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment (chemical preferred)

  • Multi-project management capability

  • Industrial or chemical manufacturing exposure preferred

  • PSM familiarity a plus

What’s in it for me?

  • Broad technical exposure — no single-product monotony

  • Real capital authority early in your career

  • Work alongside forward-thinking engineers

This Capital Projects Engineer opportunity is ideal for engineers hungry to build, lead and modernize. If you’re ready to own CapEx projects and elevate your career, apply today.
