Descrição da oferta de emprego

Rubicon Recruiting is conducting a confidential search for an Engineer to join a growing national provider of specialty pumping, dewatering, and environmental solutions.

This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and developing practical solutions for demanding industrial, infrastructure, and construction applications.

In this role, you'll work with customers, contractors, sales, operations, and field teams to engineer temporary pumping and dewatering systems from initial project evaluation through execution. You'll evaluate project requirements, perform hydraulic calculations, select equipment, assess system performance, and develop solutions that meet challenging site conditions and project demands.

What You'll Do

• Engineer pumping and dewatering solutions based on project plans, specifications, and site requirements.
• Perform hydraulic calculations, including pump selection, total dynamic head (TDH), friction losses, and system capacity analysis.
• Evaluate piping configurations, pump performance, fluid dynamics, and system requirements.
• Review engineering drawings, geotechnical reports, specifications, and project documentation.
• Develop technical proposals, scope letters, engineering calculations, and project submittals.
• Identify potential design, constructability, safety, and operational risks and recommend solutions.
• Work closely with Sales, Operations, Project Management, and field personnel throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide technical support during project execution, including commissioning, performance verification, and troubleshooting.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, Environmental, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Approximately 3–5 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Background in pumping systems, hydraulics, water/wastewater, dewatering, fluid handling, or construction engineering.
• Understanding of pump curves, piping systems, valves, and pump selection.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and project plans.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work across technical and operational teams.

Experience with hydraulic modeling software, AutoCAD, pump controls, or construction estimating is a plus.

The Opportunity

Work on a diverse range of engineered pumping and dewatering projects, from initial system design and technical evaluation through field implementation and performance verification.

You’ll have the opportunity to solve real-world engineering challenges, work directly with customers and project teams, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions within a growing organization.

Compensation: $90,000–$130,000

This position requires occasional travel to customer job sites and project locations, including overnight travel, both locally and nationally. Are you willing and able to meet these travel requirements?
