New IN Resident - Job Searching

[RUGGIERO]

Hi all,

I'll be moving to the Indianapolis area sometime in the next few months. I'm still job searching within 80 miles of Muncie, IN. I'm a Chemical Engineer with 3-4 years of experience including time in the Nuclear and Mechanical fields. If anyone on here knows of any openings in their company, I would be happy to forward my resume. I'm currently interviewing with a couple companies but am always looking for recommendations from people that live in the area and that love the employer that they work for. I provided a link (below) to my Virginia Gun Trader profile so you all can see that I'm not a robot or spammer (just switching sites). Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sorry I can't help with the chemical engineering aspect.
My best knowledge of the subject is that you don't mix bleach and ammonia.

I did want to welcome you to Ingo and Indiana.
I'm sure there will be opportunities to practice your trade in the area/
You mentioned within 80 miles of Muncie.
Have you considered the Lafayette area?
Purdue research park has a LOT of high tech businesses.

One that comes to mind is SSCI short for Solid State Chemical Information

SSCI
3065 Kent Ave.
West Lafayette, In. 47906
800-375-2179

I'm a local contractor and I have had the honor of having a half dozen or so customers from this one company.
If you do get hired on, and move into the area, I would be glad to assist you as well.

Good luck.

Look up Eli Lilly. They're a pharmaceutical companies. But all pharmaceuticals are just chemicals.

Others in Lafayette would be the new GE LEAP jet engine facility, Swift Fuels, Nanshan aluminum, Alcoa aluminum, and Evonics.

 

[RUGGIERO]

Thanks for all the tips. I'll make sure to get on those companies' websites and start looking for open positions. Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated

Elanco and Covance are both located in Greenfield (maybe 30-45 minutes south of Muncie), may have something that lines up with your background

Do not neglect web resources. Resume on Indeed.com and profile on Linkedin.

 

[searpinski]

Depends on what you want to do. If you're more into the process side of things, as CEs tend to be, you might check out manufacturing like Lilly. Covance doesn't really manufacture anything but I'm sure they would have some compliance needs from a CE. There are also paint companies and other things you could look at. Indeed.com is a great resource.

 

[RUGGIERO]

Thank you! I've applied to many through Indeed, LinkedIn, etc. Hoping to find someone on the inside that may be able to help me out I have not applied to some of the companies listed above; I'll get on that today

I asked one of my customers from SSCI what it was they did for a living.
He got what I can only describe as a "thousand yard stare" and said meekly, "I crystallize things".

Their work is far beyond my comprehension, but I do know they do a lot of research for other companies.
Seems like it might be a fascinating job.

Everyone I know that works there likes their jobs, and it evidently pays well.

Check out Dow AgroSciences.

 

[WebSnyper]

In addition to Lilly, Elanco and Covance, there is also a fairly sizable Roche campus in the area. That said, no idea if the portion of Roche that is here in Indy would have openings related to chemical engineering or not.

Check out Dow AgroSciences.

This, Dow Ag soon to be Corteva, has a few ChemE type jobs posted externally. Good company to work for IMO as well.
