Materials And Process Engineer Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

We have an immediate opening for Process Engineers to support projects across the Process Industries and Water/Wastewater markets. You will be part of a growing organization that develops practical, constructible process engineering solutions for customers across North America. These solutions are designed to transition seamlessly from concept and detailed design through construction, commissioning, and successful project delivery. In this role, you will provide process engineering support for evaluation, selection, design, optimization, and implementation of process systems associated with Kiewit's EPC projects and pursuits. Project types may include data centers, gasification facilities, biofuels, fuel generation, renewable fuels, industrial process facilities, industrial water treatment, wastewater treatment, water reuse, and other related process infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have experience developing process engineering deliverables, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams, evaluating vendor data, supporting process simulations, and contributing to technical decisions throughout the project lifecycle. This role requires strong communication, technical curiosity, and the ability to work within project budgets and schedules while supporting high-quality engineering deliverables.

Kiewit is one of North America's largest and most respected engineering and construction organizations. Kiewit's commitment to safety, quality and environmental stewardship is ingrained in everything we do. It's visible in our core values, the work that we build and in our people. With over $18B in revenue and over 32,000 employees, we operate in 8 different market segments designing and building large and complex structures throughout North America! If you are looking for a career, with stability and a diverse portfolio of design/build projects to work on - look no further! We are an employee-owned company which fosters dedication and commitment to project success and are positioned as a key player in meeting growing electricity demands. With top notch health benefits, 20 days paid time off, a wealth-building 401K plan, and unbeatable growth opportunities - we are deeply invested in the future of our employees.

The Kiewit Water Engineering team, which includes process, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation and control, structural, and civil disciplines, is a multi-faceted division of Kiewit with best-in-class technical expertise focused on collaborative Design-Build (progressive and/or fixed price) and EPC delivery models for complex water projects.  The team brings project solutions to life across North America in the following areas:  

    Water Treatment
    Potable Municipal and Groundwater Desalination
    Advanced Water Reuse
    Groundwater Remediation
    Storm water Recycling
    Industrial Water Treatment
    Wastewater Treatment
    Biosolids Treatment
    Pipelines and Conveyance

This role will be based out of our Lenexa,  Kansas office or our Lone Tree Colorado office.  We offer excellent relocation.  Some consideration may be made for candidates with more senior level experience directly in Municipal and Industrial Wastewater and water treatment design, with EPC project experience,  to be in other Kiewit Hub locations.
