Job description

They tackle complex environmental and site rehabilitation challenges that require more than just technical engineering. They're looking for someone who can take a solution from concept to reality, working closely with operations, contractors, and project teams to ensure systems perform as intended in the field.

The Need:

We're looking for a Process Engineer who understands both the science and the practical realities of environmental treatment and remediation systems. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and bridging the gap between engineering design and operational execution.

What You'll Do:

• Design, evaluate, and optimize environmental treatment and remediation systems.
• Support projects from concept and design through procurement, commissioning, and field implementation.
• Troubleshoot operational challenges and identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, and efficiency.
• Work directly with site teams, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery.
• Develop operating procedures, technical documentation, and process improvement initiatives.
• Support regulatory compliance and environmental performance objectives.
• Contribute to the evaluation and deployment of innovative treatment technologies.

What You'll Bring to the Table:

• An engineering degree and eligibility for, or registration as, a P.Eng.
• Experience designing and implementing treatment, remediation, or environmental process systems.
• Strong understanding of contaminated sites, soil and groundwater treatment, water treatment, or related environmental technologies.
• A track record of working in both office and field environments.
• Practical experience supporting projects through design, construction, commissioning, and operation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to translate technical concepts into workable field solutions.

What This Role Is NOT

• A traditional plant management or production supervision position.
• A purely consulting or desk-based engineering role.
• A role focused solely on project management without technical involvement.
• A maintenance-focused operations role responsible primarily for equipment and workforce management.

What's In It For You

• The opportunity to work on technically complex and environmentally meaningful projects.
• Significant influence over how treatment and remediation systems are designed, implemented, and improved.
• Exposure to innovative technologies and challenging site conditions.
• A highly collaborative environment where engineering decisions have a direct impact on operational outcomes.
• The chance to build practical, real-world solutions rather than simply designing them from a distance.
