Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Chemical, Environmental, or Mechanical Engineering.
Minimum of 7 years of experience in industrial water/wastewater process engineering.
Active U.S. Professional Engineer (PE) license in good standing.
Strong working knowledge of industrial treatment technologies, such as:
Membrane filtration (RO, UF, NF)
Ion exchange, demineralization, or EDI
Biological treatment (MBR, aerobic/anaerobic digestion)
Thermal or evaporative systems
Experience with water reuse, brine management, or ZLD systems.
Proficiency in modeling tools and engineering software (e.g., WaterCAD, Aspen, BioWin, or custom tools).
Ability to manage remote client communication, presentations, and project execution independently.
Strong technical writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
