  • Complete other related duties assigned by the supervisor as needed.
  • Program and maintain process-control systems and implement real-time automated control strategies, such as feedback control based on water-quality sensors.
  • Analyze water-quality data and select appropriate treatment processes based on feedwater characteristics and required end-use purity.
  • Ensure UPW process design and operation comply with applicable standards and regulations.
  • Manage UPW system installation, commissioning, and optimization projects, including planning, cross-functional coordination, and schedule and budget delivery.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree is preferred.
  • Experience designing, operating, or maintaining UPW systems or other water-treatment processes is preferred.
  • Five to eight years of related experience is highly preferred, including experience with projects ranging from pilot-scale plants to large industrial UPW installations.
