Specific Skills

Education A Master of Science degree U.S. or foreign equivalent in Industrial Engineering, Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or closely related field; OR B Alternatively, a Bachelor of Science U.S. or foreign equivalent in Industrial Engineering, Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or closely related field. Experience Candidates with a Masters of Science degree listed above are required to have at least 3 years of experience in an engineering position in manufacturing; at least one year of experience in engineering, testing, commissioning, and maintaining process operations in the food or pharmaceutical industry; and at least one year of experience in writing preliminary capital proposals and commercializing new process technology and new processing equipment for manufacturing food. All experience can be gained concurrently in the same 3 year period. Alternatively, candidates who have a Bachelor of Science degree listed above are required to have at least 6 years of experience in an engineering position in manufacturing; at least one year of experience in engineering, testing, commissioning, and maintaining process operations in the food or pharmaceutical industry and at least one year of experience in writing preliminary capital proposals and commercializing new process technology and new processing equipment for manufacturing food. All experience can be gained concurrently in the same 6 year period.br br Section H.6 has been answered quot;noquot; because while experience in the job would be acceptable, it is not required.br br Ms. Vidula Pawar meets and exceeds all of the minimum requirements. She earned a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. Ms. Pawar acquired her experience in two different, fulltime professional engineering positions at Schwans Shared Services, LLC from June 15, 2015 to January 18, 2020. She was employed as a Process Engineering Intern from June 15, 2015 to October 17, 2015 and as Process Engineer from October 18, 2015 to January 18, 2020. The Process Engineering Intern and the Process Engineer positions at Schwans Shared Services, LLC are not substantially comparable to the Senior Process Engineer position offered by Schwans Shared Services in this Labor Certification. A comparison of the duties between the Senior Process Engineer position and the Process Engineering Intern and Process Engineer positions, specified in sections H.11 and K.b.9 and K.c.9 demonstrates that the duties for the Process Engineering Intern and Process Engineer positions are more than 50 different from the duties of the Senior Process Engineer position. A significant portion of the Senior Process Engineer duties listed in H.11 have no corresponding duty or are qualitatively different from duties listed in the Process Engineering Intern and Process Engineer positions listed in K.b.9 and K.c.9.br br As this is a Senior Process Engineer position, the requirements are founded in business necessity. Schwans manufactures more than 300 frozen food items for sale, generating billions in revenue. The Senior Process Engineer plays a critical role in the manufacturing of these frozen food products by developing, designing, testing, commissioning, engineering maintaining processes to efficiently manufacture frozen food items at our plants. The education experience requirements are necessary to acquire the level of skill, knowledge and engineering experience to engage in process processing activities at the senior level which requires drawing upon education in one of the listed engineering disciplines and prior relevant experience to propose engineering solutions to improve the manufacturing processes. These duties are reasonably related to high level process engineering expected of a Senior Process Engineering in a company of this size and are necessary to perform the job reasonably.
