Wwtp Process Engineer

Highlight 5.5 Working Days Medical Benefits Shuttle bus provided Position Objective and Summary The WWTP Process Engineer is responsible for the operation, monitoring, optimization, and continuous improvement of industrial and hazardous wastewater treatment processes at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This role provides technical judgment, process troubleshooting, and engineering support to ensure stable compliance with discharge standards, operational efficiency, and EHS requirements. Main tasks /Activities / Responsibilities 1. Process Operation and Optimization Responsible for daily operation, monitoring, and optimization of industrial and hazardous wastewater treatment systems. Cover key treatment units, including but not limited to: Physico-chemical treatment: Lamella clarifier, DAF, CAF Advanced oxidation processes (AOP): Micro-electrolysis oxidation, Fenton oxidation, electro-catalytic oxidation, catalytic ozonation, UV photocatalytic oxidation Biological treatment: Anaerobic systems (e.g. UASB, CSTR), aerobic systems (activated sludge, MBR) Tertiary / polishing treatment: MBR, RO Adjust operating parameters based on influent water quality variations (COD, BOD, SS, oil & grease, toxicity, etc.). 2. Technical Evaluation and Process Development Conduct technical evaluation of new incoming wastewater or waste streams and determine suitable treatment routes and pretreatment requirements. Plan, organize, and execute bench-scale tests (e.g. jar tests, pilot trials) to verify treatment feasibility. Provide technical recommendations to support operational decisions and commercial assessments. 3. Troubleshooting and Problem Solving Handle system abnormalities such as effluent non-compliance, biological inhibition, membrane fouling, and process instability. Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and propose corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). 4. Documentation and Technical Management Prepare, update, and maintain SOPs, process operating parameters, and technical reports. Guide technicians and laboratory staff on sampling, testing, and on-site process adjustments. Participate in government inspections, customer audits, and technical discussions. 5. Safety and Compliance Ensure safe operation of chemical systems, advanced oxidation units, and biological treatment processes in compliance with EHS requirements. Participate in risk assessments (RA) and management of change (MOC) reviews. Job requirements (education, linguistic ability, professional experience, leadership qualities, soft skills etc.) 1. Education Bachelor’s degree or above. Major in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Chemistry, Biotechnology, or related disciplines. 2. Professional Experience Minimum 5 years of experience in industrial wastewater or hazardous wastewater treatment. Hands-on operational experience in one or more of the following systems is preferred: Advanced oxidation processes (Fenton, electrochemical, ozone, UV) Biological treatment systems (anaerobic + aerobic, MBR) 3. Professional Competency Ability to independently perform process evaluation, troubleshooting, and operating parameter optimization. Strong understanding of common wastewater quality parameters and their impact on treatment systems. Competent in bench-scale test design and data analysis. 4. Soft Skills and General Competency Good communication skills with operations, laboratory teams, and management. Strong sense of responsibility and ability to make sound technical judgments under abnormal conditions. Able to work in a plant-based, on-site operational environment.
