Lead the full lifecycle of UPW and wastewater treatment facilities, from conceptual design through commissioning, startup, and ongoing operations, ensuring compliance with all environmental regulations (e.g., EPA, NPDES)

Support wastewater treatment systems for vertically integrated (ingot/wafer/cell) multi-GW thin-film solar PV, PCB, and silicon packaging manufacturing lines

Ensure 100% compliance with ultra-pure water reuse goals and hazardous waste minimization

Develop and manage design specifications for advanced treatment processes, including chemical precipitation and clarification, membrane filtration (TMF/UF/RO), EDI and IX, membrane degasification systems, advanced oxidation processes (AOP), and solids handling tailored to a variety of effluents (e.g., high COD, heavy metals, fluoride, solvents, silica, etc.)

Lead cross-functional teams for ZLD systems, including advanced RO, evaporation, and crystallization systems (mechanical vapor recompression, forced circulation, etc.)

Oversee and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams (process, civil structural, mechanical, electrical, controls) and external EPC contractors to deliver the facility on aggressive timelines and within budget

Grow a high-output multi-disciplinary organization that will set the standards and plan for fast build out and turn-on of multiple UPW and wastewater plants, likely spanning more than Bastrop, TX geography over time

Manage operational teams post-commissioning, implementing predictive maintenance, SCADA/PLC automation, and continuous improvement initiatives

Ensure safety-first culture, HAZOP studies, and risk assessments for handling hazardous waste in a high-volume industrial environment

Interface with regulatory agencies, conduct permitting, and prepare technical reports/due diligence for environmental audits
