What You Will Be Doing:
An Application Engineer - Water Treatment Systems is basically the go-to technical problem solver for water treatment systems. They take customer requests and figure out what kind of equipment and setup will clean water or treat wastewater most effectively. This involves designing preliminary plans for different technologies like biological treatment, filters, membranes, or ozone systems, and estimating equipment costs.
They also run small-scale pilot tests, make sure everything operates correctly, and guide on-site staff on how to use the equipment. They collect data from these tests, interpret the results, and write clear technical reports for both internal teams and customers. Along the way, they provide technical support to engineers, plant operators, sales reps, and customer service staff. The role may involve travel up to 40% of the time for presentations, trade shows, or to oversee pilot testing.
In short: They make sure the water treatment solutions the company offers are properly designed, tested, costed, and ready to work for the customer, bridging the gap between engineering, sales, and operations.
