Are you an engineer who loves seeing the direct impact of your work from the drawing board to the field? At [Company Name], we don't just build water treatment systems - solve critical environmental challenges. As an Application & Process Engineer
, you won't be stuck behind a desk or hidden in a lab; you'll sit right at the center of innovation and execution.

This hybrid, highly visible role bridges the gap between client solution design and real-world system commissioning. If you thrive on technical problem-solving, enjoy client-facing technical leadership, and get excited by hands-on engineering, this is your opportunity to drive end-to-end impact.

• Architect Custom Solutions: Turn raw water quality data, client RFPs, and complex technical specifications into robust, scalable process designs and treatment schemes.
• Size & Value Engineer: Select and size core equipment (filtration, media, pumps, instrumentation) to build precise capital and operational cost estimates that win business.
• Be the Technical Authority: Partner with Business Development managers to lead client visits, present tailored engineering solutions, and guide clients through complex technical decisions.
• Mitigate Risk: Evaluate technical, operational, and regulatory risks prior to bid submission to ensure feasibility, profitability, and safety.

• Bring Designs to Life: Create and maintain essential process documentation, including Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), and general layout drawings.
• Lead System Launch: Mobilize, startup, and commission water treatment systems onsite, serving as the go-to expert for field troubleshooting and operational launch.
• Optimize Performance: Leverage operational data from active systems to troubleshoot, boost throughput, lower operating costs, and consistently hit environmental discharge targets.
• Champion Safety & Compliance: Ensure designs strictly align with environmental standards (e.g., NJDEP, NYDEC), company safety codes, and client EHS requirements (including conducting HAZOP reviews).

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Environmental, Chemical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering.
• Experience: 4-7 years of combined experience in water/wastewater process engineering, technical sales support, cost estimation, or field commissioning.
• Technical Mastery:
  • Deep understanding of physical/chemical water treatment processes, fluid dynamics, and mass balance.
  • Hands-on experience drafting and reviewing P&IDs and mechanical layouts (AutoCAD proficiency required).
  • Strong proposal writing skills with a knack for translating complex engineering into compelling business value.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with regional environmental standards (e.g., NYDEC, NJDEP) is highly preferred.
• Field Readiness: 40-hour OSHA HAZWOPER certification (or willingness to obtain upon hire). Valid driver's license with a clean record and willingness to travel (15-30%) for site visits and system startups.

• FE/EIT or Licensed Professional Engineer (PE).

• Commercially Minded Engineer: You balance technical precision with business acumen, understanding both how a system works and why it makes financial sense for the client.
• Cross-Functional Communicator: You seamlessly connect the dots between internal engineering teams, shop fabricators, sales leads, and external clients.
• Agile Prioritizer: You thrive in a dynamic environment, effortlessly balancing tight proposal deadlines with active field startup needs.

• Competitive compensation package and performance bonuses
• Comprehensive healthcare, vision, and dental coverage
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match
• Paid time off (PTO) and company holidays
• Clear pathways for technical leadership and professional development
