About You

To qualify, you will need a degree in Chemical or Process Engineering, along with 5+ years of experience designing industrial wastewater, municipal wastewater, sewage, or drinking water treatment systems.

We are specifically seeking engineers with direct water and wastewater treatment process engineering experience. Experience gained primarily in other process industries, including oil & gas, will generally not meet the requirements of this role.

The following are required:

• Registration as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia, or eligibility to apply
• Ability and willingness to travel occasionally within Canada for project work

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

• Experience designing sewage, industrial wastewater, or drinking water treatment systems
• Strong background in process design, modelling, and engineering documentation
• Experience supporting proposals, tender reviews, and budget development
• Knowledge of biological treatment processes and related technologies
• Experience with BioWin or similar process modelling software
• Familiarity with equipment sizing, vendor coordination, and technical evaluations
• Experience with pilot or bench-scale testing programs
• Exposure to construction, commissioning, or operation of treatment systems

As our ideal candidate, you will possess strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a diverse and multidisciplinary team. You are a self-starter who takes ownership of your work, communicates proactively in a hybrid environment, and brings a high level of accountability and attention to detail.

This is a hands-on engineering position for someone who wants to take ownership of meaningful water and wastewater projects, contribute to a close-knit and high-performing team, and see their work move from design through to real-world application.
