Full Job Description
What you'll own

You'll run the day-to-day of the engineering department: setting priorities, managing the team's workload, and making sure every drawing and document that goes out the door is right the first time. You'll be a technical voice in front of customers during business development, building the estimates and preliminary designs that win projects. You'll work closely with Project Management and Construction to standardize our designs, so plants get built faster and cleaner. This isn't a hands-off management job. We need someone who still knows the work well enough to jump in, make the tough call, and mentor a team that respects the decision.

  • A bachelor's degree in chemical, Environmental, Civil Engineering, or a related field
  • 5 to 10 years in engineering, with real time on wastewater or municipal projects
  • 5 years managing engineers, whether on a project or department level
  • A Texas PE license, or the ability to get one within 6 months
  • Deep fluency in municipal water and wastewater processes, and working knowledge of the mechanical, process, electrical, and I&C disciplines around them
  • Comfort owning the full design document set (mass balance, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment arrangements) and the document control discipline that keeps a project on track
  • A PMP is a plus, not a requirement
