Process Engineer

Drive Innovation and Growth in Sustainable Materials

This is your opportunity to play a key role in launching a breakthrough plastic wire product at a well-funded international manufacturer. Based near Treviso, just 25 minutes from Venice, you’ll combine hands-on engineering with commercial influence — and step into a clear leadership track.

You'll join a newly acquired site that’s ramping up operations fast: a second line is launching by year-end, with a third planned. Backed by a joint venture and private equity funding, this role is part of a broader global expansion into sustainable solutions.

In this role, you will:

• Reconfigure and optimise baling machines to support plastic wire (e.g., adapting twist settings, guiding systems)
• Lead technical trials and product adaptation efforts with clients across Europe and North America
• Provide training to internal teams and customer partners on polymer processing and machinery usage
• Support plant expansion and transition into a leadership position over 1–2 years
• Collaborate cross-functionally to help shift clients from steel to innovative plastic alternatives

You’ll need:

• 2–5 years’ experience in polymer processing or plastic extrusion (or a closely related field)
• A degree in Chemical, Industrial, or Mechanical Engineering
• Commercial acumen and the confidence to engage clients on technical solutions
• Fluent English; Italian and/or German are assets but not required

Benefits:

• Clear path to become Plant Manager within 2–3 years
• Involvement in a global growth strategy, with travel opportunities
• Competitive salary, retention package, and potential management equity at business exit (planned in 3–4 years)
• Strong mentorship from international leadership and JV partners
