• Draft and develop Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and arrangement drawings for smaller units, including mobile power washers and small Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems.
• Perform basic engineering, hydraulic, and sizing calculations required for the component selection of these smaller treatment units under senior engineering guidance.
• Provide technical support to the project engineering team by cross-checking historical designs against active, modern project requirements.

Qualifications

Our Ideal Candidate

• Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other related technical discipline.
• Strong organizational skills and an eye for data accuracy and information hierarchy.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
