• Patient and persistent, you make steady progress towards your goals and adjust as needed when you experience setbacks.
• Motivated to succeed and to enthusiastically engage others.
• Effective communicator and relationship builder who delivers clear messages and connects and collaborates with others to build rapport, trust and teamwork.
• Innovative and future focused, you want to make a difference and are enthusiastic about the opportunity to deploy tested and emerging automation strategies and operational technologies to critical utility processes and systems.
• Motivated to use technology to improve safety, mitigate risks and drive efficient operations.
• Inspired to help build healthy communities and preserve natural environments by improving the processes and decision making of water and wastewater utilities.
• Excited by the consulting lifestyle of traveling to different cities and working with diverse groups of people on a variety of projects.

Requirements:

• Registered Professional Engineer in the United States by examination, or able to obtain PE registration within 12 months.
• Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
• Minimum of 10 years’ relevant control systems design and/or system implementation experience and progressive Project Management experience.
• Job Type: Full Time.
