Senior Process Engineer
Industrial Water and Wastewater Infrastructure
Position Overview
Hunter Crown is conducting a confidential search for a Senior Process Engineer to join an established engineering organization serving the industrial water and wastewater infrastructure market. This opportunity is designed for an experienced technical professional who enjoys solving complex process engineering problems, influencing engineered solutions, and contributing to the successful development and implementation of industrial treatment systems.
The Senior Process Engineer will serve as a key technical resource across engineering, project development, and customer facing functions. The position combines advanced process engineering, applied problem solving, technical consultation, and collaboration with professionals responsible for delivering effective environmental infrastructure solutions.
This opportunity is particularly well suited for an engineer who wants meaningful technical ownership, exposure to varied industrial applications, and the ability to influence engineering decisions from initial feasibility through operational performance.
Professional Responsibility and Scope
The Senior Process Engineer will play an important role in evaluating, developing, and implementing engineered treatment solutions for industrial applications. Responsibilities include assessing process requirements, conducting feasibility studies, evaluating technical alternatives, and developing practical engineering approaches that balance performance, operational requirements, project schedules, and cost considerations.
The position requires substantial expertise in process engineering, including the preparation and review of engineering calculations, technical reports, process evaluations, control narratives, and supporting engineering documentation. The successful candidate will apply sound engineering judgment to both established treatment approaches and emerging process solutions.
Beyond engineering design, this individual will provide technical guidance during system implementation, commissioning, startup, and operational troubleshooting. Responsibilities include interpreting operating data, identifying underlying process issues, recommending corrective actions, and helping customers and internal teams achieve reliable system performance.
The role also offers opportunities to influence engineering practices, evaluate developing technologies, contribute to technical knowledge sharing, and mentor colleagues. Collaboration with project engineering, project management, commercial, and operational teams will be essential to translating technical concepts into successful project outcomes.
Location and Lifestyle Context
This position offers a combination of engineering development responsibilities, collaboration with internal technical teams, and direct involvement in customer applications and operating facilities.
Travel is expected to be up to 30 percent, depending on project requirements. This travel provides opportunities to participate in commissioning activities, investigate operating conditions, support technical problem solving, and develop a deeper understanding of industrial treatment applications.
The role offers a balance of technical development work and practical field exposure for an engineer who values both analytical problem solving and seeing engineered solutions perform in real operating environments.
Specific office location and work arrangement details will be discussed during the confidential recruiting process.
Long Term Professional Growth
This opportunity provides a platform for continued development as a senior technical contributor within the industrial water and wastewater engineering sector.
The successful candidate will gain exposure to diverse industrial applications, increasingly sophisticated process engineering considerations, and technical decisions that influence project outcomes and operating performance.
The position also creates opportunities to strengthen technical leadership capabilities through mentoring, cross functional collaboration, and participation in engineering knowledge development.
For an engineer who wants to deepen subject matter expertise while expanding influence across project development and implementation, this role offers a meaningful next step in professional development.
Entschädigung
The anticipated base salary range for this opportunity is $150,000 to $185,000 annually, depending on experience, technical expertise, and overall alignment with the position.
The breadth of the compensation range reflects the importance of advanced process engineering capabilities, practical industrial wastewater experience, and the ability to contribute independently to technically demanding applications.
Additional compensation components, benefits, and applicable incentive opportunities will be discussed as details are confirmed during the recruiting process.
Team Environment and Leadership Approach
The Senior Process Engineer will work within a collaborative technical environment that brings together engineering, project management, commercial, and operational professionals.
Success in this position requires an individual who can communicate complex engineering concepts clearly, build productive working relationships, and provide practical technical guidance to colleagues and external stakeholders.
The role places value on professional judgment, knowledge sharing, mentoring, and a willingness to contribute beyond individual engineering assignments. The successful candidate will help strengthen technical capabilities across the organization while supporting consistent engineering quality and effective project execution.
This environment is especially appealing to engineers who enjoy contributing as experienced technical partners rather than working exclusively within a narrowly defined design function.
Organizational Stability and Industry Position
The opportunity is with an established engineering organization participating in the industrial water and wastewater infrastructure sector.
Its work involves the development and implementation of engineered environmental solutions that support industrial operations, process performance, and infrastructure requirements.
The position provides exposure to an essential infrastructure market where technical expertise, operational reliability, and effective engineering solutions remain important to customers.
For an experienced engineer seeking a technically substantive role within a specialized industry, the opportunity offers a professional setting centered on applied engineering knowledge and long term infrastructure needs.
Experience and Qualification Summary
The ideal candidate will bring substantial professional experience in industrial wastewater treatment, process engineering, or closely related environmental engineering applications. Strong candidates will demonstrate the ability to independently evaluate treatment requirements, develop process engineering solutions, and provide informed technical recommendations across multiple stages of project development.
Experience with engineering calculations, process evaluations, feasibility studies, technical documentation, and operational data interpretation will be particularly valuable. Practical involvement in system startup, commissioning, process optimization, or troubleshooting will further strengthen a candidate's qualifications.
The successful individual should be comfortable collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams, communicating with customers and project stakeholders, and mentoring other technical professionals.
Candidates should also demonstrate sound engineering judgment, strong analytical capabilities, effective communication skills, and the ability to manage competing technical priorities.
Willingness to travel up to 30 percent is expected.
