Job Description
What will you be doing?
Project Technical Leaders serve as key partners for our customers in the North American market, acting as collaborative technical leaders responsible for supporting the successful sale, system design, execution, commissioning, and operation of complete system solutions tailored to our customers' needs.
On complex projects with multiple unit processes, the Project Technical Leader leads a team of Process Engineers to support each project. They are responsible for fostering a collaborative and innovative environment within the team in alignment with the strategy, ensuring effective communication and knowledge sharing, and managing the process deliverables (schedules, assignments, quality). On cross-functional project execution teams, the Project Technical Leader provides strategic direction and
facilitates decision making to ensure alignment with project objectives and customer requirements. They cultivate strong working relationships with customers and project stakeholders, promoting teamwork and driving successful project delivery.
The Project Technical Leader leverages their strong technical experience to lead the development of the overall treatment solution with the team of Process Engineers, considering customer requirements, safety factors, (waste)water quality and quantity, and customer needs. Process Engineering responsibilities include: defining the design basis, process design (process flow diagram [PFD], process design parameters, mass balance), proposal Process & Instrumentation Diagram [P&ID] development, process narrative, hydraulic profile, ownership of process guarantees, leadership of process design
reviews, risk management, preliminary equipment and instrumentation selections, participating in HAZOPs, successful process start up, performance testing, and on-going operations support. The Project Technical Leader also advises and collaborates with project and services teams on execution P&ID development, control narratives, equipment and instrumentation selection, operability, safety and regulatory considerations, commissioning activities, and operations support. If challenges arise, they
lead the troubleshooting effort and resolution.
We are looking for a Project Technical Leader with experience in designing complex systems for ultrapure water (UPW) and non biological wastewater (WW) treatment (for end of pipe (EOP) as well as segregated waste waters) in the Microelectronics market, leadership skills to guide process engineers and project teams, and the ability to partner with customers to deliver exceptional experiences.
