Process Engineer

Industrial Water & Wastewater Systems

Location: United States (Remote) | Work model: 100% remote; periodic travel to the engineering office and project sites

| Full-time

Confidential, retained search | Raymond Search Group


Own multi-million-dollar treatment systems concept to commissioning. Fully remote


THE OPPORTUNITY

One of two top-priority engineering hires forming the nucleus of a scaling team, open fully remote anywhere in

the United States. The Process Engineer spearheads the end-to-end lifecycle of multi-million-dollar industrial

treatment systems: conceptual and detailed design, applied R&D, field startup, and live-asset optimization. A

former-engineer Group CEO is personally engaged in this hire.

The honest version: remote does not mean desk-bound. Startups, commissioning, and live troubleshooting put

you on industrial sites when systems come online, and the systems are operating assets with real consequences

rather than studies.


WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Process Design

  • First principles. Process calculations, mass balances, PFDs, and P&IDs for full-scale systems.
  • Technology selection. Match technologies to application chemistry, conditions, and lifecycle economics.

Applied R&D & Validation

  • Prove it. Bench- and pilot-scale evaluations that validate designs and commercialize technology.
  • Data fluency. Read real-time operational data, diagnose anomalies, defend the fix.

Startup & Optimization

  • Commissioning. On-site startups, sampling protocols, operator training.
  • Live optimization. Troubleshoot and tune systems in service.


MEASURES OF SUCCESS

  • Complete, accurate, on-schedule design packages.
  • Successful startups and commissioning outcomes.
  • Validated performance against guaranteed outcomes.
  • Quality of pilot and bench evidence behind commercial proposals.


REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

  • BS or BE in Chemical, Environmental, or Process engineering; Chemical preferred.
  • Experience designing, optimizing, and pricing complex industrial water or wastewater processes.
  • Field credibility with client operations teams.
  • Exceptional autonomy - a remote seat on a lean team, judged on output.


PREFERRED ATTRIBUTES

  • Bench/pilot R&D tied to commercial deployment.
  • High-purity, process water, or specialist wastewater exposure in regulation-driven sectors.
