Industrial Wastewater Process Engineer

About the Role

Arcadis' Industrial Water Treatment and Optimization (IWTO) team is seeking a wastewater process engineer to contribute to the design of industrial water and wastewater treatment plants. This entry-level position will utilize technical knowledge of wastewater treatment to assist project teams. Typical projects involve front-end treatment concept development, detailed design of industrial wastewater treatment systems, water conservation, nutrient removal, sustainability, and pollution prevention.

Key Responsibilities

• Function as the wastewater process engineer on industrial water/wastewater projects, working on design tasks with assistance from Arcadis’ IWTO process engineers, senior engineers, and subject matter experts.
• Support engineering designs by developing drawings, specifications, P&IDs, calculations, technical reports, and equipment selection for industrial water/wastewater projects.
• Work with drafters/designers and coordinate with other disciplines to complete construction documents.
• Support engineering services during construction on projects, including submittal reviews, responses to requests for information, and other construction-related office-based engineering work.
• Verify performance and/or conformity with design drawings and specifications through field inspection and testing during construction and commissioning.
• Perform process troubleshooting and optimization, pilot testing, bench scale testing, and lab analysis of conventional and advanced water treatment technologies.
• Analyze data including water quality, technology evaluations, and plant operations information.
• Routinely seek out guidance and implement feedback received from senior engineering staff.
• Manage small to midsize design tasks as a wastewater process task lead on projects.
• Conduct site visits during various project phases, which may include tasks such as equipment evaluation, process testing and troubleshooting, construction inspection and observations, and other types of field work.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Sufficient knowledge to support in the design of water and wastewater projects and preparing construction documents.
• Expected to support the development of process and mechanical drawings, P&IDs, specifications, control narratives, technical reports and memoranda, and operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals.
• Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Access, Outlook, etc.).
• Experience performing engineering calculations using computer software.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Valid driver’s license.

Qualifications

• Strong foundational knowledge with water/wastewater treatment processes.
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical, Civil, Environmental, or Mechanical Engineering.
• Master’s degree in either Environmental or Chemical Engineering.
