Job description

Help Build the Future of Water

Freese and Nichols is seeking a motivated, early-career Project Engineer to join our water and wastewater treatment group, designing some of the most complex and high-profile infrastructure in the U.S. From coastal desalination to advanced reuse, our projects push the boundaries of innovation and scale. This position is open to our Atlanta, Colombus, Duluth, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greenville offices.

We've helped deliver the nation's first direct potable reuse project, we're supporting the first municipal-scale seawater desalination facility along the Texas Gulf Coast, and we're currently working on treatment plants as large as 350 million gallons per day. This role is your opportunity to contribute meaningfully to projects that matter—while growing alongside a team committed to long-term development and leadership.

What You'll Do

  • Assist in the design, optimization and planning of water and wastewater treatment plants
  • Perform hydraulic analysis, process modeling, and unit process sizing
  • Contribute to evaluations of both conventional and advanced treatment technologies, including MBR, RO, and IFAS
  • Support preparation of design drawings, calculations, reports, and specifications
  • Participate in facility condition assessments, walk-throughs, and pilot studies
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver coordinated, high-quality solutions
  • Develop new technical skills and advance your engineering judgment with mentorship and support

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering or closely related field
  • 3+ years of relevant experience, ideally in treatment or pump station design
  • EIT certification; PE licensure is not required initially but expected as part of long-term development
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Preferred

  • Familiarity with process or hydraulic modeling
