Project Technical Leader - Microelectronics UPW & WW Process Engineering

Part of Veolia Group, Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions brings together experienced professionals in pursuit of the same goal: to solve the world's most complex challenges related to water scarcity, quality, productivity, the environment and energy. We're always looking for passionate and creative people to help us in this mission!

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.

Core Qualifications

* Demonstrated leadership capabilities (within and/or outside of the workplace), encompassing the ability to set and communicate a vision, align and inspire a team towards shared objectives, train and coach others, and confidently make effective decisions with limited information under evolving conditions

* Bachelor's Degree in an accredited Engineering field (advanced degrees are welcomed, but not required), or another technical discipline such as Science combined with related experience

* At least 10 years (15 or more preferred) of related experience, with an emphasis in design and/or operation of Microelectronics water and wastewater treatment solutions. Candidates with process engineering experience in the Industrial water market, as well as those with proven leadership experience from other relevant disciplines within this industry, will be considered.

* Microelectronics industry experience in ultrapure water (UPW) and wastewater (WW), including:

• designing UPW and non biological WW treatment systems, including activated or catalytic carbon (GAC), ion exchange (IX), reverse osmosis (RO) including at high pH (HPRO), membrane degasifiers, TOC reduction UV, electrodeionization (EDI), membrane ultrafiltration (UF), thermal evaporators and crystallizers, heat exchangers, tanks, pumps, instrumentation
• designing hot UPW systems
• stringent UPW specifications (TOC < 1 ppb, Resistivity > 18.1 MOhms, silica < 0.1 ppb, very low particle counts) and SEMI standards
• piloting and bench scale treatability studies
• projection software/tools for process design such as WinFlows, WAVE, and/or GasCAD (Liqui-Cel GTM)

Useful skills and abilities

* Exceptionally strong oral and written communication skills in English for customer facing

communication (including presentations) as well as internal collaboration and influence

* Professional Engineer's License
