Project Manager, Environmental Engineer, Quality Engineering

We are currently looking for a Project Manager who is ready to engage on Treatment Plant projects in Colorado both hard bid and CMAR / CMGC. Below is a description of a couple of these projects.

The city owns and operates the WRRF, which is rated for a maximum month flow of 25 MGD of wastewater. The WRRF began operations in 1968, and the capacity and complexity of its treatment process has evolved based on growth and water quality regulation progression. The WRRF’s current wastewater treatment process uses four (4) secondary clarifiers to separate secondary solids and scum from clean secondary effluent.

Three (3) of these were originally constructed and put into service circa 1987. These original three clarifiers are at the end of their useful life and in need of replacement.

Generally, the scope of work will involve:

• Removal and replacement of two 110 ft diameter secondary clarifier mechanisms and associated ancillary components within existing basins
• Removal, recoating, and reinstallation of existing bridges
• Removal and reinstallation of existing weir brush units
• Electrical and control system connections
• Testing, startup, and training services

We are currently in the Preconstruction phase of this project and will be moving to construction later this spring. The WWTP improvements project will be designed and constructed in two parts:

• New internal mixed liquor recycle (IMLR) system (3 pumps along with pipes, valves, flow meters and appurtenances)
• Replacement of three existing aeration blowers with four new aeration blowers
• Electrical upgrades for new blowers and IMLR system
• Instrumentation upgrades for new blowers and IMLR system
• Miscellaneous structural improvements (equipment pads, supports, baffle wall supports)

• Construction of a new chemical storage building
• External chemical fill point stations
• Chemical feed systems for Micro-C and Caustic Soda
• Buried utility relocation in the chemical building footprint within the WWTP property
• Site grading, drainage, erosion and sediment control around the chemical building footprint
• Electrical service to the new chemical storage
• Heating and ventilation for the new chemical storage

The ideal candidate is capable of thinking outside the box, understands multi-staged construction projects, is detailed oriented with experience in Treatment Plant construction. The position is directly accountable for the safety, financial performance, and team development on site.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily.
