We place the process engineers, plant managers, and EHS leaders who run safe, compliant batch and continuous chemical and specialty-materials operations.
Chemical and specialty-materials manufacturing is a process world, not a discrete one — and that changes everything about who can run it. Yield, safety, and reliability are set by chemistry and process control, and a leader who came up in assembly or fabrication is often lost on a batch or continuous chemical line.
The hiring challenge is process safety. PSM-covered operations carry real regulatory and physical risk, and the pool of leaders who genuinely understand process safety management, environmental compliance, and continuous or batch operations is narrow. Hiring outside that pool is a gamble most chemical makers won't take.
We recruit chemical and materials as a process specialty — sourcing process engineers, plant leaders, and EHS professionals who've run safe, compliant, high-yield operations. You get people fluent in the chemistry and the regulatory reality, not learning it on a hazardous site.
Process-driven operations live and die on safety, yield, and uptime. We recruit the leaders who own all three.
Chemical and process engineers who optimize yield, scale-up, and continuous improvement.
Plant managers and operations leaders for batch and continuous chemical production.
EHS and PSM leaders who keep regulated, hazardous operations safe and compliant.
Formulation, materials science, and technical-service professionals who win on chemistry.
Site directors and VPs who run chemical operations on safety, cost, and reliability.
Has run batch or continuous chemical operations — yield, scale-up, process control — not just discrete manufacturing.
Genuine PSM and EHS experience in covered, hazardous operations, with the record to prove it.
Comfortable with environmental compliance and the regulators who enforce it.
Drives yield, uptime, and cost in a world where small process gains are big money.
The chemistry and engineering depth to be respected by a technical organization.
Chemical and materials comp runs $95K–$155K for process engineers and EHS leaders and $140K–$220K+ for plant and site leadership. Process-safety and specialty-chemistry expertise pays toward the top. We benchmark to your processes and regulatory profile.
We start with a deep conversation to understand your operation, your culture, and exactly what success looks like for this hire.
We work our national network and run a focused, confidential search for candidates who match the role — not just the resume.
We manage the process through offer, acceptance, and onboarding, then follow up to ensure a long-term fit for both sides.
Yes — for covered operations, genuine PSM and EHS experience is exactly what we screen for. We distinguish it from general manufacturing safety backgrounds.
Both — batch processing, continuous processing, and the leaders who understand the difference. We match candidates to your process type.
Specialty chemicals, coatings and adhesives, polymers and resins, industrial gases, composites, and petrochemical. We match to your segment and chemistry.
Process engineers and EHS leaders commonly $95K–$155K; plant and site leadership $140K–$220K+, with process-safety and specialty expertise higher. We benchmark to your operation.
Often 30–75 days given the narrower technical pool. We give you a realistic timeline up front.
Both, though process-safety-critical leadership is often best run retained.
Tell us about your process, your products, and your safety requirements — we'll bring you process-driven leaders who have run the same chemistry.
