Hatch is seeking an experienced Lead Process Engineer / Process Consultant to join our team and provide technical leadership for projects in the fertilizer and specialty chemicals industries.

In addition to technical leadership, this position requires strong business acumen and the ability to build strategic relationships with clients and industry professionals. Working closely with senior leadership, you will help drive business growth and deliver solutions that address some of the world’s toughest challenges in fertilizer production and specialty chemical manufacturing.

• Perform process simulations, equipment sizing, and specification development.

• Provide technical guidance during feasibility studies, front-end engineering design (FEED), and detailed design phases.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical, civil, and project management) to ensure integrated solutions.

• Support clients with troubleshooting, debottlenecking, and performance optimization of existing facilities.

• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and environmental requirements.
