Pilot Engineer Job Description

Job Description
 
At PWNT, pilot engineers perform many functions related to the operation of PWNT tested technologies for water and wastewater treatment related to, for example, ceramic membrane filtration, ion exchange, coagulation, ozone oxidation, sand filtration, etc. The pilot operators main function is to support third-party, international projects at locations such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Singapore. This applicant should have a basicengineering knowledge of water treatment processes and objectives, and be “hands-on” for bench-scale and pilot-scale operations. There is also the opportunity to work at full-scale sites which have PWNT technologies which are in commissioning, start-up, performance testing, or operational assistance phases. The PWNT pilot engineer is often one of the first PWNT employees in contact with client staff, and should have excellent communication skills and a positive attitude.

For third-party pilots, pilot engineers do the following:
 
·         Site work during commissioning, site acceptance tests (SAT), training for local operations
·         Troubleshooting throughout pilot to rectify operational issues
·         Data acquisition and processing, as well as data storage management
·         Liaison between client and water testing laboratory
·         Liaison between R&D staff and project
·         Assistance with conference calls, reporting, slide preparation, and final report
 
When third-party workload is less than full-time, pilot operators work with R&D staff to operate and perform data analysis for PWN internal R&D projects. These projects are, for example, related to on-going studies for brine treatment, optimization of SIX®, ILCA®, and CeraMac® processes, distribution system water quality monitoring, and advanced oxidation with UV.

Annual salary for this position depends on the candidate’s experience.
 
PWNT offers the following:
 
·         Working in a creative and collaborative environment
