Thirty years ago this resume header would have been just fine. In today’s digital age, it’s odd both the email and website slots are empty.
Like many engineering positions, chemical engineering involves significant time spent on the computer, writing reports, emails, using CAD or PM software.
Even if you don’t use it, add an email address. Add also your Linkedin profile or personal website. If your application is promising, recruiters would love to browse and learn more about you.
The next chemical engineering header sample is better.

This looks much better. The header is complete with all necessary information recruiters might need to contact you.
Furthermore, this chemical engineer has taken the opportunity to make their title more specific to match the exact title listed in the job description.
Last but not least, there’s the Linkedin profile. It’s probably not a factor for your job, but definitely a factor in the process of getting hired.
