Job description

Are you an engineer who wants more than a desk? This is your opportunity to step into one of our most versatile and growth-oriented product roles in the water treatment industry.

As a Product Engineer for Ovivo's Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) product line, you'll have the opportunity to build your career as a product leader while developing the commercial and technical skills to serve some of the most complex water treatment challenges in North America. Your clients will span not only Municipal utilities, but also Industrial verticals including Food & Beverage, Mining, Oil & Gas, and emerging sectors like Data Centers. And because DAF is routinely paired with complementary Ovivo treatment technologies, you'll gain broad exposure across our full product portfolio - building expertise that compounds over time.

The role is based in our Salt Lake City office and will enjoy our hybrid working model. Expected domestic travel is 10-30%.

What is the role?

You'll serve as a go-to technical and commercial authority for the DAF product line, embedded in a cross-functional team spanning Engineering, Project Management, and Marketing.

• Support sales through specification and plan reviews, customer presentations, product sizing and application guidance, and technical training for internal teams and external clients.
• Own the customer relationship from pre-sale through commissioning - including process start-up support and field troubleshooting - across a diverse base of municipal and industrial accounts.
• Apply creative problem-solving to match Ovivo technology to client challenges, frequently drawing on adjacent products across the Ovivo portfolio.
• Shape the product roadmap by identifying improvements, driving standardization, and contributing recommendations to new product development initiatives.
• Partner with Engineering and Project Management to resolve warranty or production issues and continuously improve the product.
• Review purchase orders and partner with the Contracts team on Terms & Conditions to protect scope and margin integrity.
• Establish systems and controls to improve margins and prevent margin erosion.
• Preserve and document the technical know-how of the group - building institutional knowledge that scales with the business.

Does this sound like you?

We're looking for an engineer with genuine passion creating solutions in water treatment and the ambition to grow into a technical product leader.

• 2+ year of experience in design and manufacture water/wastewater products or similar mechanical/fluid systems. Industry; exposure to flotation, DAF, municipal water, or industrial treatment processes is a strong plus.
• B.S. in an engineering discipline (Chemical, Environmental, Civil, or Mechanical are common fits).
• Technically grounded - able to read engineering documents, apply process fundamentals, and translate complex concepts into clear, client-friendly language.
• Commercially curious - you're drawn to customer interaction, enjoy building long-term relationships, and see the sales process as a problem-solving exercise.
• A self-starter with strong problem-solving instincts who thrives working independently across multiple projects.
• Ambitious - you want ownership, not just a job title. You see this role as a platform to develop expertise, grow as a leader, and make a real impact on a growing product line.
