  • Strong technical understanding of advanced water treatment technologies (RO, UV, AOP, etc.)

  • Experience working on public works and low-bid design-bid-build projects is a plus

  • Prior estimating experience on water/wastewater infrastructure projects

  • Willingness to travel as required

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives

  • Comprehensive benefits package including:

    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

    • 401(k) with employer match
