Duties

This is your opportunity to join a community dedicated to responsible development and thoughtful management of Washington’s critical wastewater and reclaimed water infrastructure by serving as one of the state’s engineers overseeing these facilities. In this role, you will be involved in planning, design, and construction, and you will also permit the operation of these facilities, from permit issuance and implementation to field oversight. Additionally, you will support Ecology’s grant and loan program and serve as a mentor for staff-level engineers.

You will be the primary point of contact for the Water Quality Program and the face of the agency, building trust and confidence with the regulated community through honest, reliable, and consistent interactions. You’ll routinely collaborate with facility owners and operators on a range of engineering concerns and compliance questions and will be our go-to representative for ensuring all parties understand the agency’s expectations for wastewater management and reuse in Washington state.

What you will do:

Support the planning, design, and construction of wastewater and reclaimed water systems in compliance with state requirements and good engineering practices.
Provide regulatory oversight of operations at wastewater treatment and reuse facilities using diverse treatment processes and creative approaches to managing treated effluent or reclaimed water.
Manage financial assistance programs for clean water infrastructure projects and provide expertise to internal staff, municipalities, and consultants on funding program elements.
Serve as a role model for staff-level engineers in the unit, offering mentorship, training, and direction in the unit’s planning, engineering and design review work, as well as permit development, issuance, and implementation.
Draft permit conditions, limits, and other requirements as part of the issuance process, and provide ongoing oversight of individual permits to ensure compliance with water quality standards.
Conduct facility inspections and provide technical assistance on regulatory issues and questions from communities and industries within the region.
Assist in improving unit business processes, collaborating with other Ecology staff to provide outstanding service to our regulated community, the public, and Tribes.
Help members of the public understand permits and other regulatory requirements related to wastewater and reclaimed water facilities, as well as Ecology’s role as an oversight agency.
