WATER PROCESS ENGINEER – EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA – LOCATION: FLEXIBILE, EUROPE

About

Moleaer™ (Latin for tine air) is the global leader in manufacturing industrial-scale nanobubble systems that deliver extraordinary improvements in sustainable food production, chemical-free water treatment and the recovery of natural resources.

Nanobubbles are neutrally buoyant, produce oxidants, are electrochemically active, and reduce surface tension. These characteristics enable nanobubbles to replace inefficient, energy intensive gas transfer equipment and harmful chemical oxidants and surfactants with a single, energy-efficient, chemical-free solution.

Moleaer has installed >1500 of its patented nanobubble systems in farms, wastewater treatment plants, O&G production facilities, mines, and in over 200 water bodies.

The Company has 7 patents and patent applications and aims to broaden its patent portfolio around the use of nanobubbles across a range of physical, chemical and biological processes.

Position Scope

Moleaer is looking for an experienced Water Process Engineer (WPE) whose responsibilities are focused on the water and wastewater processes where Moleaer and its customers integrate the Company’s nanobubble systems into their existing or new infrastructure. The WPE will focus on both pre-sale preliminary system design and post-sale detailed process design. Typical workload will be weighted approximately 65% to pre-sale support and 35% to post-sale support. The WPE acts as a primary contact for the Sales team regarding technical project support and determining the appropriate NB generator for a given treatment process(es) for a particular project, sizing of equipment, writing equipment specifications, reviewing and compiling proposals, and transitioning projects from a sale to the design phase within Engineering, when appropriate.

The WPE collaborates with the rest of the team to develop new products, treatment methods, conduct field pilots, and participate in research and development.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

Support Sales in technical approaches to opportunities and proposals
Determine appropriate NBG size and configuration (e.g. system) for specific project opportunities
Perform water and wastewater process calculations & simulations based on Moleaer’s NB models
Review client specifications and communicate with client’s technical representatives
