Develop engineering plans, specifications, and calculations for treatment plant upgrades, expansions, and new construction
Create AutoCAD drawings including process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), site plans, and construction details
Perform hydraulic modeling and engineering calculations to optimize system performance
Environmental Compliance & Permitting
Navigate EPA and state environmental regulations for water, wastewater, and stormwater systems
Prepare and submit permit applications, compliance reports, and regulatory documentation
Develop Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs), Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans, and environmental management programs
Conduct environmental compliance audits and provide recommendations for corrective actions
Project Execution & Client Interaction
Visit client sites to assess existing systems, collect data, and understand operational challenges
Support project management activities including scope development, scheduling, budgeting, and quality control
Prepare technical proposals for new projects and business development opportunities
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including operations, construction, and automation/controls specialists
Provide commissioning support and troubleshooting assistance during project startup
Types of Projects You'll Work On
Municipal Treatment Plants: Design upgrades for 0.5-10 MGD facilities serving growing communities
Industrial Wastewater Systems: Food processing facilities (including meat processing plants), manufacturing operations, and agricultural industries
Regulatory Compliance Projects: Nutrient removal upgrades, permit limit compliance, environmental assessments
Process Optimization: Energy efficiency improvements, SCADA integration, automation enhancements
Capital Planning: Asset management studies, facility master planning, condition assessments
