About The Position

At Solenis, we tackle some of the world’s most complex water and process challenges—and we’re looking for a Site Lead to take on one of the most critical roles in our North American team. In this high-impact, customer-embedded position, you’ll lead all aspects of our water treatment program at a major industrial site in Salt Lake City, UT. Your mission? To protect the integrity of high-pressure boiler systems, optimize cooling water performance, reduce downtime, and help our customer meet their reliability, production and sustainability targets. This is the role for a water treatment expert who thrives in the field—someone who knows how to troubleshoot a system, spot risks before they escalate, and confidently engage plant teams as a trusted advisor. If you’ve ever kept a 1200 PSI boiler humming or tuned a cooling tower to perfection, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

A strong background in industrial water treatment—especially in boiler systems, cooling towers, or wastewater.
Proven experience treating high-pressure boilers (1000+ PSI) or managing complex chemical programs for process-critical steam systems.
Familiarity with boiler treatment chemistries (e.g., oxygen scavengers, amines, phosphates), cooling water cycles, and wet lab testing protocols.
Knowledge of chemical feed systems, sampling techniques, and system monitoring tools.
Ability to speak the language of operations and utilities teams with credibility and clarity.
Bachelor’s Degree in a technical field preferred (Chemistry, Engineering, Environmental Science); relevant industry experience may be considered in lieu.
Minimum 7 years of relevant industry experience, ideally in refining, chemicals, or heavy industry.
U.S. work eligibility required—or Canadian candidates open to relocation with sponsorship support.
