Why Join Us?

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.

The Impact You’ll Make

1. Drive Front-End Innovation & Sales Strategy (Application Engineering)

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.

2. Deliver Real-World Results in the Field (Process Design & Execution)

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).

What You Bring to the Team

Core Qualifications

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.

Preferred Credentials

FE/EIT or Licensed Professional Engineer (PE).

Mindset & Soft Skills

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.
