In this role, you will contribute to designing, modeling, piloting, and scaling up treatment systems that combine wastewater treatment technology, electrochemistry, and advanced oxidation processes. You will work with cross-functional teams and external partners to translate lab and pilot results into robust, cost-effective solutions aligned with evolving environmental regulations. Key Responsibilities • Design, model, and optimize emerging contaminant treatment and separation systems using electrochemical principles, advanced oxidation processes, and various wastewater/environmental remediation processes. • Plan and lead pilot testing and scale-up activities; support commissioning and early operation, including troubleshooting and performance tuning. • Run process simulations and techno-economic evaluations to improve efficiency, cost, and regulatory compliance; translate results into design decisions. • Analyze water quality and process performance data to refine system design and operational strategies, document learnings for continuous improvement. • Prepare technical deliverables (process flow diagrams, P&IDs, specifications, test protocols/reports, and cost estimates) to support proposals and project execution. • Collaborate with R&D, field operations, and regulatory stakeholders to integrate emerging contaminant treatment solutions into broader treatment trains. • Engage with customers and suppliers to understand site constraints, communicate technical solutions, and support proposal development and technical presentations. Requirements • Master’s or Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related field. • Proven experience in water/wastewater treatment and contaminant removal, especially emerging contaminants and PFAS. • Proficiency in process modeling software and analytical tools. • Strong understanding of electrochemical systems and solids removal pretreatment technologies. • Develop systematic Design of Experiments (DoE) for process optimization initiatives • Conduct FMEA, HAZID or HAZOP studies • Excellent communication and project management skills. • Hands-on experience with pilot plants, scale-up engineering, and field troubleshooting. • Familiarity with PFAS analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS, TOF/AOF, TOP Assay) and how analytical uncertainty impacts decision-making. • Knowledge of environmental regulations and compliance frameworks relevant to water treatment (e.g., EPA, REACH, CERCLA). • Proficiency with process simulation tools (e.g., Aspen Plus and/or COMSOL Multiphysics). • Track record of technical publications or conference presentations in water treatment, PFAS treatment, and/or emerging contaminant remediation.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
