• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 3–7 years of experience in UF and RO systems (industrial, municipal, or reuse applications).
• Hands-on experience with membrane systems, CIP skids, and dosing systems.
• Strong knowledge of water chemistry, membrane fouling mechanisms, and pretreatment processes.

Skills & Competencies
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
• Ability to interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, and SCADA trends.
• Familiarity with international standards (ASTM, ISO, WHO).
• Proficiency in technical reporting and communication.
• Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred (Optional)
• Experience with seawater RO (SWRO) or industrial wastewater reuse systems.
