Industrial engineering and process equipment for oil, gas, and chemical plants
Koch Engineered Solutions designs and integrates process equipment, emissions controls, filtration systems, and automation solutions across oil, gas, and chemical operations. The hiring mix—dominated by engineering (30 roles) with smaller sales and construction teams—reflects a project-delivery model centered on turnaround work and capital installations. Active projects span construction scheduling, resource optimization, and major capital expansions, while pain-point patterns (downtime reduction, project risk, critical-path execution) signal the core problem: keeping complex industrial assets online during planned maintenance.
