Job Description

Job Description

About the Role

Imagine starting your day on site, walking a treatment line that turns challenging source water into process-ready quality. You scan dashboards, tune setpoints, and listen for the healthy hum of pumps and blowers. By mid-morning you’re drawing samples—checking turbidity, hardness, chlorine, pH, CO₂, O₂, SDI, and TOC—to validate that performance meets spec. After lunch, you coordinate with trades to install a new skid, then huddle with our engineering team about an RO pump retrofit. Before you leave, you debrief the client, summarize findings, and line up tomorrow’s work.
