• Provide technical support and guidance to junior engineers and technicians, fostering a collaborative and learning environment.
• Develop and maintain project documentation, including reports, drawings, and specifications.
• Receives new technical inquiries, request of proposals (RFPs), quote requests on daily basis directly from different clients and leading Project Managers of Aslan Technologies. Most of the inquiries are in the form of process challenges.
• Develop RO projections using RO design software (Winflows/Toray DS2).
• Analyse different water/wastewater chemistries to propose the best possible water treatment solution for the existing scenario.
• Provide telephone support/assistance to the customers for onsite system issues.
• Develop preliminary conceptual to detailed process design of industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment systems.
• Design processes for sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), UF, RO, NF, and membrane bioreactors (MBRs).
• Develop cost estimation, technical specifications, vendor, and contractor prequalification, procurement/tender support, and contract administration.
• Write technical proposals by using fundamental chemical engineering knowledge for the new projects which are not as per Aslan's standard product lines.
• Develop piping and equipment layouts.
• Write design briefs, control narratives and user operation and maintenance manuals for water and wastewater treatment plants.
• Develop and perform quality control and commissioning checklists and procedures for water and wastewater treatment plants.
• Discuss equipment design and operation with suppliers, consultants, customers, and operators.
