Will you join us in protecting the future of our waters?

Job Responsibility:

  • Implement experiments to optimize and develop our treatment technologies through chemistry-driven innovations
  • Conduct experiments on small to medium scale to prototype various processes and assess their performance
  • Conceptualize innovative enhancements to our degradation technologies
  • Literature and market research for process development of innovative treatment solutions
