This is a rare opportunity to join one of the most established and technically respected industrial water and wastewater practices in the country at a point of genuine growth.
The team has been doing this work for fifteen years. Not as a side practice bolted onto a municipal water group, and not as a recent pivot chasing market trends. Industrial water and wastewater treatment is what they do, and they have built a portfolio to match — pharma, chemical manufacturing, datacenters, automotive, pulp and paper, and an expanding presence in the mining sector. Projects range from initial feasibility and process studies through to full detailed design and construction oversight, with real variety in scale, sector, and technical complexity.
Right now the pipeline is strong, the work is there, and the team needs experienced process engineers who can get involved and make an impact quickly.
You will be working across the full project lifecycle — process design, P&IDs, construction documents, technical specifications, control narratives, and O&M documentation. There is also genuine advisory work and the opportunity to engage directly on the technical side with vendors and contractors, pushing back where it matters and adding real value beyond the drawing set. The team overlaps significantly with the construction division, so if you want exposure to how your designs actually get built, that is available to you here.
At the more senior level, there is a technical leadership component — mentoring younger engineers, contributing to proposals, and engaging with clients on the technical conversation. This is not a hard business development role. It is about being the kind of engineer that clients trust and want in the room, and the firm will work around what you want that to look like in practice.
A process, mechanical, chemical, or environmental engineer with solid industrial wastewater design experience gained in a consulting environment. The design floor is the primary requirement — someone who has produced construction documents, understands treatment system design across a range of industrial applications, and can work effectively in a multidisciplinary project team. A PE license is valued, particularly at the more senior level, but the technical depth and consulting background are what matter most.
A genuinely busy practice with work already in hand. A diverse project portfolio that will challenge you technically and broaden your sector experience. A leadership team that has built something real and is committed to investing in the people around them. Locations available across Denver, Houston, Philadelphia, Raleigh, and Minneapolis, with flexibility for the right candidate.
If you are currently in a consulting environment where the industrial work is thinner than you would like, where the projects are not stretching you, or where the trajectory is not matching your ambition — this is worth a serious look.
