Key Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in chemical, mechanical, environmental, or civil engineering preferred; candidates with significant applicable experience will also be considered
• Engineering fundamentals required: fluid mechanics, mass balances, basic chemistry, solids/slurry handling, and process control
• Minimum 4 years of experience focused on water/wastewater treatment, pilot projects, or similar industries
• Facility commissioning and operations experience is a strong asset
