Director of Engineering and Design
Summary
Leads the day-to-day of the engineering department at a water treatment and desalination company, managing workload and quality of engineering drawings/documents, producing estimates and preliminary designs to win projects, and standardizing designs with Project Management and Construction for water/wastewater treatment plants.

Through our Water-as-a-Service® (WaaS®) model, we design, build, own, and operate more than 200 water and wastewater treatment plants, taking on the capital and operational risk so our customers don't have to.

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.
