About the position

As a Field Service Engineer at Veolia North America, you will play a crucial role in the commissioning of Evaporator and Crystallizer units, ensuring that process equipment and control systems perform according to specifications. This position involves acting as a construction liaison between design engineering and construction teams during the commissioning of thermal systems. You will provide technical instruction and assistance to customer representatives regarding the installation, operation, calibration, repair, and maintenance of equipment at customer sites. Your responsibilities will also include managing the activities of outside vendors and suppliers to ensure that services and supplies meet project specifications and performance requirements. You will be tasked with developing log sheets to document and monitor equipment operation, as well as creating and executing Commissioning Schedules and Performance Plans. Additionally, you will develop and conduct both classroom and hands-on training regarding the operation and maintenance of process equipment. Participation in P&ID Reviews, Model Reviews, Engineering Design Meetings, and Safety in Design reviews will be essential to ensure the accessibility, maintenance, and operation of process equipment. You will perform control system factory acceptance tests with clients and client-designated representatives, and provide after-market services such as site inspections, equipment inspections, and operator training. This role requires significant travel, with an anticipated travel commitment of 60-70% for both domestic and international trips. Maintaining a strong safety mindset is critical, as you will need to ensure that all executed work reflects the technical requirements within Veolia's safety standards. You will also be responsible for preparing timely and accurate technical reports for customer records and future reference. The role demands strong analytical skills, including the ability to apply mathematical operations to tasks such as water treatment chemistry calculations and monitoring Time & Material (T&M) contract costs. You will need to define problems, collect data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions to improve operations and assess design effectiveness. A preferred Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, or Process Engineering, along with a minimum of 3 years of experience in power plants, chemical process facilities, or wastewater treatment plants, is required. You should possess basic chemistry knowledge, particularly in water treatment, and be able to communicate this information effectively to others. Knowledge of structural, mechanical, hydraulics, electrical, piping, welding specifics, and civil notations is also essential.
