Job description

ClearBlu Environmental designs, sells, and installs industrial wastewater treatment systems — dissolved air flotation, biological digesters, aeration, screw press dewatering, nanobubble, and UV disinfection — for commercial and industrial vehicle wash bays, meat and protein processors, wineries, food and beverage manufacturers, and agricultural operations.

What you'll own

You are the technical owner of a project from early in the process through startup. You own whether the solution is right, whether the customer understands it well enough to decide, and whether the system performs once it's installed.

• Characterize the waste stream — BOD/COD, TSS, FOG, pH, flow and load profiles
• Size and select the treatment train, backed by mass balance and loading calculations
• Interpret the discharge requirements. Ensure compliance with the applicable codes, practices, policies, performance standards, and specifications
• Write the technical proposal — scope, process description, performance basis
• Manage the customer through their technical evaluation: work out what they need in order to decide
• Provide support to customers and help resolve problems with installed equipment
• Run bench tests and pilots
• Create a complete design package and keep the customer in the loop on timing and site readiness
• Stay with the customer through commissioning, performance verification, and operator training
• Attend and assist in trade show events

What we're looking for

Required

• B.S. in Chemical, Environmental, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• 5–10 years in industrial water or wastewater treatment
• Experience sizing and specifying treatment equipment, not only operating or maintaining it
• Working proficiency with AutoCAD — you can produce and revise process flow diagrams and equipment layouts yourself
• Analytical and highly organized, and comfortable carrying 8-12 active opportunities at different stages without dropping any of them
• Comfortable in a plant environment
• Valid driver's license and an insurable driving record

Preferred

• Meat and protein, winery, food and beverage, agriculture, or vehicle wash bay experience
• Grade 2 or higher wastewater treatment operator certification
• Hands-on experience with DAF and biological treatment specifically

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary: $95,000 – $125,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications
• Annual variable compensation of 10–20% of base salary
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off, paid sick leave, and paid holidays
• 401(k)
• Company-provided laptop; business mileage on your personal vehicle reimbursed at the IRS standard rate

Travel:

up to 25%, clustered around site assessments and system startups.
