Sr Project Engineer – Wastewater Conveyor Systems
Location: Atlanta, GA.
Employment Type: Full-time.
Essential Functions:
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions. The Project Engineer will support and execute engineering and project delivery tasks for wastewater conveyance systems and industrial conveyor equipment (screw conveyors) used in wastewater/sludge/solids handling applications. The ideal candidate bridges detailed technical engineering, project coordination, and customer interface — working from concept through design, fabrication, start-up, and commissioning. Position Tasks & Responsibilities: Interpret customer requirements and specifications for wastewater conveyance or solids-handling conveyor systems; translate into engineering deliverables (drawings, specs, layouts, general arrangement).Perform engineering calculations, selection of equipment (motors, drives, conveyance components), and material sizing (structural supports, load calculations, drive sizing) for conveyor systems. Prepare project scopes, cost estimates, schedules, and budgets; track progress against them. Prepare and review equipment/submittal drawings, vendor proposals, shop drawings, and fabrication documents. Coordinate with manufacturing/fabrication, purchasing, field installation, and commissioning teams to ensure project milestones are met and quality expectations are achieved. Provide technical support in the field (shop visits, installation supervision, start-up, commissioning, testing).Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements relevant to wastewater systems (e.g., hydraulic conveyance, solids handling, environmental/municipal standards) and conveyor design codes. Interface with customers, contractors, and internal teams; provide status updates, manage change orders, and resolve technical issues. Maintain project documentation (engineering files, change logs, factory test reports) and ensure proper handover for operation/maintenance. Minimum 5–8 years of engineering experience in wastewater systems, conveyance systems, or industrial conveyor equipment. (For senior roles: 8+ years). Experience with design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of industrial conveyors or wastewater conveyance systems (e.g., pipelines, pumps, solids handling conveyors). Prior project engineering or project management experience, preferably interacting with customers and managing multi-disciplinary teams.
