Job Description

We are seeking a Senior or Director-Level Maintenance Mechanical Engineer to join a world-class specialty chemical production facility located in the Luling, Louisiana area. This is a direct-hire leadership role responsible for driving long-term asset reliability, mechanical integrity, and equipment performance for a state-of-the-art operation producing critical materials for electric vehicle batteries and semiconductor applications.

This is an opportunity to shape the reliability culture of a new, high-spec greenfield facility. The right candidate will bring strategic insight and hands-on leadership in mechanical systems—particularly rotating equipment, inspection programs, and predictive maintenance technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Serve as technical authority for rotating equipment, mechanical integrity, and long-term reliability strategy
  • Design and implement plant-wide asset management programs for critical equipment systems
  • Lead all aspects of mechanical inspection, including planning, analysis, compliance (API, ASME, etc.), and reporting
  • Coordinate capital and maintenance projects in partnership with operations, engineering, and third-party vendors
  • Lead failure investigations and root cause analysis; develop mitigation strategies for long-term performance
  • Define and approve standards for preventive and predictive maintenance, mechanical design, and repair procedures
  • Interface with EPCs, OEMs, and global stakeholders to ensure robust and efficient mechanical systems from commissioning onward
  • Contribute to long-term planning and budgeting for maintenance and mechanical upgrades

Qualifications:

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (or related field); advanced degree a plus
  • 20+ years of experience in chemical manufacturing, high-purity process industries, or EPCs supporting operating assets
  • Proven expertise with rotating equipment: pumps, compressors, blowers, gearboxes, mechanical seals
  • In-depth knowledge of mechanical codes and standards, including ASME, API, and relevant inspection protocols
  • Experience implementing and managing asset reliability programs and CMMS systems (e.g., SAP, Maximo)
  • Strong background in specialty chemicals, methanol, hydrogen, pharmaceuticals, or high-alloy process environments
  • Refining-only experience is not a match for this position
  • Must be located in or willing to relocate to the greater New Orleans area
  • This is a high-impact technical leadership role with visibility across operations, engineering, and global stakeholders. If you are a senior-level mechanical professional ready to influence the future of a growing, innovation-driven manufacturing site—we’d love to hear from you.
