Associate Project Engineer (Lexington)

The very technologies that are creating a more sustainable future for us — electric vehicles, semiconductors, and solar panels — are built on a foundation of metals extracted from the earth at great financial and environmental cost. At ElectraMet™, our mission is to build a circular economy that reduces our dependence on extracting these metals from the ground. We do this by delivering a novel electrochemical technology that separates and recovers dissolved metals from process and wastewater streams.

We are looking for an Associate Project Engineer with experience in water treatment systems to join our team at our Lexington, KY facility. The successful candidate will be responsible for implementing, supporting, and troubleshooting water treatment systems installed at customer sites. Effective coordination and collaboration with other engineering/manufacturing departments is essential to meet system delivery deadlines and to continuously optimize system performance, so strong communication skills and attention to detail are required. Because ElectraMet systems are highly technical and cutting-edge, the successful candidate will be expected to wire electrical systems, pipe water systems, and design control parameters. ElectraMet is a growing company with customers in a variety of critical industries, which means that roles and responsibilities are constantly shifting to accommodate employees’ strengths and desires.

We offer healthcare, benefits, generous PTO, and competitive salary commensurate with experience. Growth potential in a small but growing company with stock options and other benefits.
