Wastewater Engineer
We are a privately held engineering firm recognized for pioneering energy-positive water resource recovery facilities. Our portfolio ranges from compact rural lagoons to 150-acre regional treatment campuses. Innovation is our ethos; safety and sustainability are non-negotiable. You will collaborate with subject-matter experts—process chemists, data scientists, and automation gurus—who encourage experimentation and celebrate every breakthrough.
Key Responsibilities
- Master-plan and size wastewater treatment plants, lift stations, and force mains for flows up to 50 MGD.
- Develop process flow diagrams, P&IDs, and hydraulic profiles using BioWin, GPS-X, and SewerGEMS.
- Produce construction documents in AutoCAD and Revit—layouts, sections, pipe networks, and civil sheets.
- Analyze nutrient removal, aeration efficiency, and biosolids stabilization; recommend process retrofits that slash OPEX by 15 %+.
- Author technical memoranda, basis-of-design reports, and permit submittals for federal and state regulators.
- Mentor junior engineers, review calculations, and stamp plans as the responsible Professional Engineer (PE).
- Coordinate with structural, mechanical, and electrical teams to integrate HVAC, SCADA, and power systems…seamlessly.
- Present findings to public works boards, secure stakeholder buy-in, and defend alternatives during value-engineering workshops.
- Track emerging regulations (PFAS, micro-plastics) and weave proactive compliance solutions into designs.
- Champion digital-twin adoption and real-time data dashboards to monitor plant KPIs after commissioning.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Environmental, or Chemical Engineering.
- 5+ years focused on wastewater treatment or collection system projects.
- Proficiency with BioWin OR GPS-X, plus AutoCAD Civil 3D; ability to interpret SewerGEMS models.
- In-depth knowledge of activated sludge, BNR, tertiary filtration, disinfection, and hydraulics.
- U.S. Professional Engineer license (or ability to obtain within 12 months).
- Working familiarity with Clean Water Act, NPDES permits, and state discharge standards.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication—you translate lab data into boardroom decisions.
Preferred Skills
- Revit MEP coordination, CFD or finite-element modeling.
- Biosolids digestion and biogas cogeneration design experience.
- Construction phase services: RFI resolution, submittal review, and change-order negotiation.
- Spanish language proficiency for diverse community outreach.
