  • Strong collaborative spirit with the capability to independently tackle challenges.
  • Willingness to challenge peers constructively and engage in self-reflection.
  • Proven track record of questioning established practices and improving efficiencies.
  • Experience in dust explosion hazard analysis is advantageous.
  • Familiarity with process simulation tools is a plus.
Work Environment and Physical Requirements
  • Utilize personal protective equipment, including lab coats, gloves, safety glasses, and steel-toed shoes.
  • Ability to traverse long distances and remain stationary for extended periods.
  • Proficient in operating computers and other office equipment in a designated workspace.
