Job Summary
If you enjoy learning new technologies, travelling and have a passion for water, this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for. The Water Engineering Program is an exciting entry point for recent engineering graduates with interest in the Water business, and the rotational engineering stream allows engineers to be exposed to multiple roles within our North America Projects Business. This program develops technical problem-solving and leadership skills through project work through the bid, execution and start up phases. Depending on previous experience, successful candidates will be part of a 2-to-3-year rotational program, where the rotation placements can be customized for the individual. Rotation placements include: Applications Engineering, Project Engineering, Process Engineering, Field Service, Process Start-up and Manufacturing. It is designed to provide in-depth exposure to Veolia’s Water Technologies & Solutions (WTS) major product lines, integration with project execution teams, as well as integrated formal training. This role prepares new graduates for a wide variety of roles within the Veolia WTS business.
Duties & Responsibilities
A WEP Rotational Engineer will build up the understanding of the key responsibilities of each discipline in the rotational program including, but not limited to: Applications Engineering, Project Engineering, Process Engineering, Field Service & Commissioning, Process Start-ups and potentially Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering and Automation. Within these positions, the WEP Rotational Engineer will have the following responsibilities:
Develop project design documents, with engineering responsibility, depending on rotational position. Documents such as P&IDs, PFDs, Mass and Energy Balances, General Arrangement Drawings, Electrical Single Line Diagrams, Electrical Schematics, Control Narratives.
Perform overall system calculations that support the overall flowsheet development. This includes process modeling, hydraulic profiles, detailed mechanical equipment sizing calculations, line sizing, power requirements etc. Expectation is that in each rotational stop, the WEP rotational engineer will develop an understanding of these requirements to ensure design quality, the budget requirements, and customer expectations.
Develop the abilities of each function over the rotational period such that they are able to perform the engineering deliverables of the role, with limited supervision.
Gain an understanding of our customer profiles and their needs and objectives. This includes the strategic positioning of our solutions, an understanding of market pricing and VWTS’ ability to be profitable within that market.

Actively participate in an assigned technical development cohort with peers new to VWTS for the development of knowledge of VWTS products and design practices.
In-field rotations supporting the start-up and troubleshooting phases of a project.
Be accountable for the delivery of assigned work, and communicative of the achievement of deadlines or if support is needed.
Be active in establishing individual development plans and work towards achieving milestones surrounding that development.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
Understanding of multi-step processes, and their interdependencies
Ability to read P&IDs and PFDs (including material balances), and where required electrical drawings.
Ability to communicate effectively and contribute to team and department projects.

Previous experience (prior to graduation) in the water/wastewater industry and or waste management
Working Conditions
Most rotational stops will be in VWTS office locations. It is expected that travel will be between 10-15% of work time.
Site visits will be required, and hence there is interaction with water, wastewater and waste, depending on the project.
For WEP Rotational Engineers who choose to do Field Service rotations, travel during those rotations is 70-80%.
We offer competitive compensation and benefits working in a dynamic environment with challenging projects and training provided to ensure your success.
We realize diverse teams make smarter decisions, deliver better results, and build stronger communities. We’re an organization that champions diversity and inclusion at every level and are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace!
