Job description

Who We Are

IRONCLAD powered by Mersino is a national provider of liquid storage, dewatering, and environmental rental solutions serving the energy, industrial, petrochemical, and construction markets. Formed through the merger of Ironclad Environmental and Mersino Dewatering, the combined company operates a multi-branch network across Texas, Louisiana, California, the Upper Midwest, and other key industrial regions, delivering rental fleet, engineered water management, and liquid containment solutions to customers who depend on uptime, safety, and technical expertise.

About The Role

The Pump Solutions Engineer (PSE) is responsible for developing and documenting engineered pumping and dewatering solutions from bid through project execution. This role reviews project documentation, including geotechnical reports, boring logs, plans, civil drawings, and project specifications, and performs hydraulic, fluid, and chemical compatibility analyses to develop safe, effective, and cost-efficient solutions.

The PSE will evaluate and validate bypass pumping and dewatering systems, prepare scope letters and technical documentation, and communicate directly with customers, contractors, Sales, and Operations. The role supports the complete lifecycle of temporary engineered pumping and dewatering systems, from initial bid and system design through execution.

As a part of the Engineering team, PSE’s support a broad range of specialty pumping and dewatering services and works closely with teams across the organization to deliver technically sound solutions.

What You'll Do

• Assist in writing comprehensive technical quotations and scope letters based on plans and specifications provided with the knowledge of Ironclad Powered by Mersino’s cost structure and product line to be delivered by the Sales staff.
• Evaluate hydraulic designs, including TDH calculations, friction losses, suction lift NPSH, series and parallel pumping, gravity/open channel sewer capacity, data center modeling and pump selection
• Perform a technical risk review of high value and/or critical projects prior to bid submission, documenting design assumptions, limitations, potential failures, and recommend risk reducing solutions
• Evaluate constructability of temporary dewatering and pumping systems, including sequencing, site and safety constraints
• Prepare and review technical project submittals, calculations, equipment data, drawings, sequence of operations, and RFI responses for approval by a Professional Engineer (PE)
• Review chemical Safety Data Sheets (SDS) or other documents to determine chemical compatibility of products offered by IRONCLAD
• Summarize technical data on projects, analyze that data, and prepare reports to present project details to management.
• Lead field commissioning, performance verification, and validation of large or technically complex projects. Troubleshooting involving system design, such as, but not restricted to, hydraulic analysis, fluid dynamics, and system modeling.
• Evaluate engineering plans, drawings, specifications, and addendums to prepare scope letters and prepare detailed technical reports and analyses based on engineering specifications
• Conduct post-project audits and analyses of completed projects through organization of available project data for review with cross-functional departments to improve overall company project management. Observe, retain, and apply skills and knowledge obtained at the workplace
