Senior Wastewater Technologist

Senior Wastewater Technologist (Austin, Texas)

Exciting opportunity for someone in the Austin area to support the College Station Water Design Center (WDC). This role will be based out of our Austin office with some travel to our College Station Water Design Center.

Generally, the responsibilities of this role will entail working hand in hand with our business teams and their clients to understand wastewater treatment challenges and share your expertise. You will be involved in design proposal work, helping establish effective approaches to complex projects. You will work with and mentor other engineers on your team and within the Water Design Centers to continue to propel growth and quality.

You'll lead the wastewater process design on assigned projects in coordination with the WDC Process Team leader, including modeling, evaluations, helping the client select alternatives and preparing master plans. In detailed design, you will continue to work with the WDC to ensure continuity of intent and design quality. You will continue to learn and develop your expertise and push Garver forward by attending and presenting at conferences and other opportunities.

The College Station Water Design Center will be a knowledge-based hub that excels in highly technical, multi-discipline water and wastewater designs for clients in Garver's central footprint, as well as across the country as necessary. The College Station WDC will specialize in large, high-volume, custom treatment plant projects with conventional and advanced technologies. A centralized WDC requires constant communication, coordination, and participation with team members.

This integral working relationship benefits the client through project delivery schedule and design quality, as well as the engineer's opportunity for team collaboration and professional growth.

Some travel will be required as part of this position. Most travel will be within the Central region, as necessary based on project work. Because this position is not located in College Station, regular travel to the WDC will be expected to maintain continuity with the design team. This is anticipated to be one to two days every couple weeks and may change depending on circumstances.

Travel will also be anticipated for business…
