As a Water/Wastewater Process Design Engineer, you will apply advanced engineering principles and process design expertise to the planning, analysis, and design of municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities. You will lead process engineering tasks throughout project development, including treatment process evaluation, hydraulic and process modeling, equipment sizing and selection, and preparation of technical reports, plans, specifications, and construction documents.
Working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, clients, regulators, and stakeholders, you will develop innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions that address complex treatment challenges while meeting regulatory requirements and project objectives. This role offers the opportunity to provide technical leadership, support quality delivery of critical infrastructure projects, mentor junior staff, and continue developing expertise in water treatment, wastewater treatment, and emerging process technologies.
What You’ll Do:- Develop, analyze, and review process and facility design documents, engineering calculations, technical specifications, and construction plans for water and wastewater treatment facilities, pipelines, pump stations, storage facilities, and related infrastructure.
- Apply sound engineering judgment and a thorough understanding of industry standards, design codes, and federal, state, and local regulatory requirements to ensure technically accurate, compliant, and high-quality project deliverables.
- Perform hydraulic modeling, process modeling, flow analyses, mass balances, and system performance evaluations to support treatment process selection, capacity planning, optimization efforts, and long-term infrastructure improvements.
- Coordinate and integrate process design activities with multidisciplinary engineering teams, subconsultants, clients, utility owners, and regulatory agencies to facilitate efficient project delivery and successful stakeholder engagement.
- Provide technical leadership and support to project managers throughout project development, including design evaluations, cost estimating, alternatives analysis, constructability reviews, risk assessments, and quality assurance/quality control activities.
- Evaluate existing water and wastewater treatment systems, identify operational and process improvement opportunities, and develop innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions that enhance system performance, reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset management.
- Bachelor of Science in Civil, Environmental, Chemical, or a related engineering discipline.
- 4+ years of water and wastewater process engineering experience.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license.
- Basic proficiency in AutoCAD & Civil 3D software is a plus.
- This hybrid job operates between an office environment and a field environment and routinely requires the use of standard office equipment such as computers, phones and copy machines. May require occasional exposure to work environments that may include inclement weather, heat, humidity, noise, hazard, atmospheric conditions, and bodies of water, depending on project requirements.
- While performing the duties of this job, physical demands of the employee include frequent sitting, moving, standing, talking, hearing, and occasional balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, reaching, handling, grasping, and feeling. This job may occasionally require operating a company vehicle, and lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling up to 35 lbs.
