About The Position

We are seeking a Water Treatment Engineer with strong laboratory and applied engineering experience to support the development, design, and implementation of industrial water and wastewater treatment systems. This role is ideal for an engineer who has hands-on experience with water quality testing, treatability studies, and pilot-scale systems, and who is interested in expanding into applications engineering, process design, and client-facing technical work. The successful candidate will help translate bench-scale and pilot data into full-scale treatment solutions, working closely with project engineers, vendors, and clients to design reliable treatment systems for complex industrial water streams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related field
  • 5–15 years of experience in water or wastewater treatment
  • Experience with water quality testing and laboratory analysis
  • Experience performing or interpreting treatability studies or pilot-scale testing
  • Strong technical writing and analytical skills
  • Ability to interpret water chemistry and treatment performance data
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills

Nice To Haves

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain preferred
  • Experience with industrial wastewater treatment systems preferred
  • Experience with biological treatment processes preferred
  • Experience with advanced treatment processes such as oxidation, filtration, or nutrient removal preferred
  • Familiarity with pilot plant design and operation preferred
  • Exposure to applications engineering, process design, or equipment specification preferred

Responsibilities

  • Assist in designing and executing bench-scale and pilot-scale water or wastewater treatment studies.
  • Evaluate treatment performance and develop data-driven recommendations for full-scale systems.
  • Analyze water chemistry and interpret laboratory results to optimize treatment processes.
  • Develop and validate treatment strategies for challenging industrial water streams.
  • Support process design and equipment selection for water and wastewater treatment systems.
  • Translate laboratory and pilot testing results into process design criteria, sizing parameters, and operating conditions.
  • Prepare process flow diagrams (PFDs), equipment specifications, and technical documentation.
  • Work with equipment vendors to evaluate technologies and integrate treatment processes.
  • Prepare technical proposals for laboratory testing, treatability studies, and pilot programs.
  • Contribute technical expertise to larger client proposals, including scope development, technical approach, and supporting documentation.
  • Assist in defining testing programs needed to evaluate treatment feasibility and optimize system performance.
  • Support business development teams by helping communicate treatment approaches and engineering solutions.
  • Provide technical leadership on treatability programs and pilot testing initiatives.
  • Mentor junior staff in laboratory methods, data interpretation, and technical documentation.
  • Support cross-functional engineering teams during feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, and detailed design.
  • Participate in technical discussions with clients regarding treatment challenges and solutions.
  • Prepare technical reports, engineering memoranda, and presentations summarizing study results and design recommendations.
  • Assist with troubleshooting of operating treatment systems when required.
