Plant Engineer II

At POET, we believe in creativity from common sense. We believe the solution to our nation's growing energy crises is not some far-flung work of science fiction. It's the domestic energy we're producing today. The people of POET are currently replacing millions of barrels of imported oil every year with clean, renewable energy. All while pumping billions of dollars back into the American economy.

The Plant Engineer II increases efficiencies of plant operations, maintains plant run time, implements system improvements, maintenance reliability, troubleshoots process problems and considers cost factors.

The Plant Engineer II will supervise environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) personnel and ensures compliance of environmental, health, and safety requirements. POET biorefineries operate on a 24 hour continuous schedule; the Plant Engineer II must be available as needed.
