Lead and direct less experienced staff on tasks such as overseeing data collection, assimilation, analysis and management of data for process modeling and design work.  Prepare a variety of complex engineering deliverables, including process models, process/mass balance calculations, design criteria/basis of design memoranda, process flow diagrams, P&IDs, tradeoff studies, and master planning studies.  Support multiple projects simultaneously with complex technical challenges.  Serve as a technical specialist with knowledge and skillset providing guidance to design teams in conventional and/or emerging wastewater treatment concepts. Perform complex research to select or assess performance of treatment processes and incorporate the data into process models. Work collaboratively with engineering design team to develop recommendations for appropriate treatment processes, equipment and their specification, and/or material selection. Prepare process models and carry out complex engineering calculations following standard methods and principles. Develop life-cycle assessment, including conceptual-level life-cycle costs, and environmental and social benefits, to evaluate and select resilient treatment solutions. Actively coordinate with internal and external team members for successful project execution. Assist with identification of key client interests and drivers for ongoing projects and new business prospects. Develop creative solutions and approaches to accommodate our client’s goals and objectives.
