About the Company

Keystone People Solutions is partnering with a well established Australian water infrastructure business that owns and operates its own water assets and provides operational and engineering support to clients nationally. Their in house engineering and projects team works across the full project lifecycle, from concept design and approvals through to detailed design, construction management and commissioning. Because they also run plants, their engineering is practical and grounded in how assets actually operate.

With strong growth in their engineering and projects team, they are now seeking an experienced engineer to join them in Perth.

This role is open to either a Process Engineer or a Project Engineer.

• Process Engineers: a degree in Chemical Engineering is preferred (related engineering disciplines considered), with at least 3 to 5 years’ experience in water, wastewater or recycled water design, construction or operation
• Project Engineers: proven project delivery experience on water infrastructure, ideally including membrane systems (RO, UF, MF or MBR)

You will also bring:

• Water network modelling or GIS experience (advantageous, not essential)
• Strong attention to detail and excellent time management
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• A track record of practical problem solving
• The ability to build and maintain client relationships

Australian citizenship is essential for this role due to Federal Government security requirements. A current National Police Certificate (or willingness to obtain one) is also required.

What’s on Offer
