Wastewater Field Service Technician — Lift Station Pilot Programs
Contract / Project-Based Position with Potential Full-Time Opportunity
Wichita Preferred | U.S.-Based Candidates Considered | Travel Required as Needed
A growing company is seeking a wastewater field technician with an engineering or technical background to support pilot programs at wastewater collection system lift stations.
This is a contract, project-based field role. Work will be tied to pilot program needs, including site evaluation, equipment setup, troubleshooting, monitoring, and follow-up at wastewater collection system lift stations. The role may grow into a full-time opportunity as pilot activity expands.
Qualified candidates must have hands-on wastewater lift station experience, including knowledge of the installation, setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of pumps, aeration, agitation, piping, controls, and related collection system equipment. Candidates should also have a basic working understanding of electrical and plumbing troubleshooting in field environments.
This is a field-based technical role. It is not a safety, environmental compliance, research, lab, or desk-based engineering position.
Please note: Applications that do not clearly demonstrate wastewater lift station experience and hands-on knowledge of pumps, aeration, agitation, piping, controls, electrical/plumbing troubleshooting, or related collection system equipment will not be considered.
