Industrial Wastewater Process Engineer
About The Position
Arcadis’ Industrial Water Treatment and Optimization (IWTO) team is seeking an entry-level wastewater process engineer to contribute to the design of industrial water and wastewater treatment plants. The role supports industrial clients on projects involving front-end treatment concept development, detailed design of industrial wastewater treatment systems, water conservation, nutrient removal, sustainability, and pollution prevention. The engineer will manage small to medium design tasks with support from IWTO subject matter experts and may advance into areas such as project management, client development, seller/doer roles, and technical direction. The position includes developing engineering drawings, calculations, process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), specifications, and technical reports. It also involves coordinating with drafters, designers, and other disciplines; supporting construction-phase engineering; and visiting project sites for equipment evaluation, process testing and troubleshooting, construction inspection and observations, commissioning, and other field work. The engineer may also perform process optimization, pilot and bench-scale testing, and laboratory analysis of water treatment technologies.
