Process Controls Engineer

Your Job

Koch Ag & Energy Services is seeking a Process Control Engineer to join our Dodge City, Kansas, Koch Fertilizer plant!

The selected candidate will primarily work from the Koch office in Wichita but will initially need to travel to Dodge City 50-75% of the time to provide onsite support.

As relationships are established and familiarity with processes grows, we anticipate travel requirements will decrease to approximately 25%, as onsite support becomes less frequent.
