THE OPPORTUNITY

This is an exceptional opportunity to join the Engineering team of the Chino Basin Program. The Chino Basin Program (CBP) is a series of innovative water treatment, and storage projects structured to modernize regional water supplies, storage, and delivery systems. The innovative water treatment and storage projects are structured to modernize regional water supplies, storage, and delivery systems.

Reporting directly to the Advanced Water Treatment Program Manager, here are multiple unique opportunities associated with joining the Program including but not limited to:

·The Senior Engineer will be working closely with a group of highly qualified Senior Project Managers and Construction Managers in addition to working closely with notably qualified subject matter experts on large size and specialty projects including an Advanced Water Purification facility, aquifer replenishment facilities, and large size water conveyance systems.

·The Advanced Water Purification Facility and a large part of the conveyance system will be delivered utilizing the collaborative delivery method of progressive design-build. Collaborative delivery is gaining more popularity in the water and transportation industries.

·Advanced treatment is a unique opportunity to work on high recovery processes, extensive permitting with local and State Agencies, demonstration testing, and rather complex start-up planning and execution.
