Water Management Engineer

FTD Solutions is seeking a Water Management Engineer Lead to be the on-site lead at a major semiconductor client's campus in Rio Rancho, NM. This role is the primary FTD presence at the site, responsible for executing FTD's Active Water Management (AWM) program — driving water conservation, compliance, and circularity through data-driven modeling and stakeholder collaboration.

What You’ll Do

• Lead deployment and ongoing operation of the water management program at the client's campus, including wastewater systems and reclaim/recycle initiatives.
• Serve as the on-site FTD representative embedded within the client's facility, acting as the primary liaison between the client's water management team and FTD's global program.
• Own and operate the site's water management model (WMA digital twin), including monthly baseline updates, scenario modeling, and water balance reporting.
• Lead the weekly Site Water Management Group (SWMG) meeting — tracking KPIs, documenting actions, and driving accountability with client stakeholders.
• Perform wastewater and water reclaim scenario analyses to support operational decision-making and conservation opportunities.
• Coordinate semi-annual water chemistry sampling programs, including sampling plan development, laboratory coordination, and data upload to the WMA platform.
• Develop and maintain site-specific KPIs and generate quarterly performance reports for client leadership.
• Support identification and development of water conservation and reclaim opportunities, including preliminary work packages and high-level ROI analysis.
• Manage client access to WMA software and provide training and technical support to site personnel.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong technical and analytical skills in water systems, wastewater, and water reclaim/reuse.
• Experience with water balance modeling, digital twins, or similar data-driven engineering tools is a plus.
• Comfortable working on-site within a client environment, building relationships and driving results through collaboration rather than direct authority.
• Ability to translate complex wastewater and water reclaim data into clear insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Highly organized and self-directed — able to manage recurring deliverables, meetings, and reporting with minimal supervision.
• Background in chemical or environmental engineering with exposure to semiconductor, industrial, or municipal water systems preferred.

B.S. Degree in chemical or environmental engineering, or equivalent education.

2–5 years of engineering work experience in water, wastewater, or related fields preferred.
