  • Mentor and supervise team members to build best-in-class capabilities.
  • Strengthen technical skills within the team through staff development and recruitment.

  • Experience in wastewater and reuse design, with an emphasis on treatment processes and plant design for consulting engineering.
Education and Experience Requirements
  • Collaborate with leadership to focus on water reuse, wastewater treatment, and biosolids clients.
  • Foster and develop relationships with design-build partners, assisting with pursuits in strategic planning, stakeholder outreach, proposal development, and project management.
  • Build and nurture strategic relationships with key officials, industry leaders, and agency management, working alongside Operations Managers and company leadership.
  • Engage actively in local professional organizations, such as CWEA, AWWA, and Water Use, aiming for leadership roles on boards or committees.
  • Lead project delivery by providing technical direction and fiscal oversight, ensuring adherence to scope, schedule, and budget, and promoting quality control.
  • Identify business development opportunities that advance MKN's presence in Southern California's wastewater/water reuse sectors.
