Job Description
Process Engineers are key technical partners to customers across a range of markets in North America. They develop and support water, wastewater, and waste treatment solutions from initial sales and engineering through commissioning and operation.
For complex projects involving multiple treatment processes, the Process Engineering Project Technical Leader takes ownership of the overall treatment solution. Working with Process Engineers who bring expertise in the technologies involved, you’ll guide the team in developing an integrated solution that meets customer requirements and can be delivered successfully.
You’ll bring deep technical knowledge, sound commercial judgment, and a strong understanding of customer processes, markets, regulations, and competitors. You’ll help balance technical risk and commercial viability, lead troubleshooting when issues arise, and build trusted relationships with customers and industry experts. You’ll also help share Veolia’s expertise through customer and industry presentations.
What you’ll do
- Lead the development of complete water, wastewater, or waste treatment solutions, including process flow sheets, unit operations, and process parameters, using in-house and industry design tools.
- Own the overall Process Flow Diagram (PFD), flow tables or mass balance, and process guarantees, working with the Process Engineers responsible for individual technologies.
- Set the process strategy for the project, including the design basis, safety factors, treatment of flow variations, and approach to meeting customer requirements and competing effectively.
- Coordinate Process Engineers working on the flow sheet. Define deliverables and schedules, assign work, and ensure process deliverables meet quality and schedule expectations.
- Evaluate how unit processes interact, including their potential effects on upstream and downstream processes.
- Identify and manage technical risks across the treatment solution in collaboration with the project team.
- Serve as the lead technical contact for customers and for internal functions working on the project.
- Troubleshoot technical issues using data and observations, and lead the team’s efforts to find and implement solutions.
- Understand relevant regulations and liaise with regulatory agencies as needed.
- Take accountability for the success of assigned projects throughout development, including treatment performance, successful operation, and customer satisfaction.
- Communicate proactively, collaborate across teams, and lead corrective actions when needed.
- Represent Veolia’s expertise in the external market through customer and conference presentations.
- Provide training and one-to-one coaching to members of the Process Engineering team.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in an accredited engineering discipline. Advanced degrees will be considered. A degree in another technical discipline, such as science, may also be considered with relevant experience.
- Related experience, preferably in process engineering, with an emphasis on the design and/or operation of water, wastewater, or waste treatment systems.
-
Leadership experience or demonstrated leadership capability, including the ability to:
- Connect people around a shared vision and objective.
- Align and motivate a team.
- Train, coach, and mentor others.
- Make sound decisions with limited information in changing conditions.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
- A customer-focused approach and the ability to balance technical and commercial considerations.
Working conditions
- Office-based work environment.
- Periodic travel within North America, with the possibility of travel beyond North America.
- Technical leadership on individual proposals and projects.
- Coordination of multiple Process Engineers who may not report directly to you.
- Accountability for high-impact technical decisions. An error in the overall treatment solution could require the addition or replacement of a major unit operation or an entire membrane system.

Tips for Your Remote Process Engineering Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote process engineering manager openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles by the criteria that matter to you and apply directly to the ones that match your background before they fill.
Document your process improvement results clearly
Remote hiring managers can't walk a plant floor with you, so your resume and portfolio need to do that work. Quantify yield improvements, cycle time reductions, and cost savings from specific projects so reviewers can evaluate your impact without an in-person tour.
Demonstrate async leadership in your application
Remote employers for this role care whether you can manage engineers you'll rarely see in person. Highlight examples of written project documentation, virtual team coordination, and decisions you made and communicated clearly without real-time access to your team.
Learn the digital tools remote process teams use
Familiarity with cloud-based ERP platforms, digital twin software, and remote statistical process control tools signals readiness for distributed work. Name the specific platforms you've used in your resume rather than listing generic software categories.
Remote Process Engineering Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote process engineering manager job?
Remote process engineering manager roles go to candidates who can lead process improvement initiatives and coordinate cross-functional teams without being on a plant floor. Remote employers screen heavily for written communication, async collaboration skills, and comfort managing engineers across time zones. A portfolio showing documented process improvements, measurable yield or efficiency gains, and experience with digital tools like CAD, ERP systems, or statistical process control software gives you a clear edge over equally qualified on-site candidates.
Which companies hire remote process engineering managers?
Employers currently hiring remote process engineering managers include GE Vernova, Pond & Company, and Pregis, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings for this role tend to come from large manufacturers with distributed R&D or operations teams, specialty chemicals firms, and medical device companies that separate engineering leadership from physical production facilities.
Can you get a remote process engineering manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry into a manager-level role is harder because you must demonstrate independent decision-making without an on-site team to lean on. Companies most open to early-career remote process engineering managers include growing specialty manufacturers and contract engineering firms. Showing documented process projects, a strong grasp of Lean or Six Sigma methodology, and examples of leading a small team or cross-functional project can substitute for years of direct management experience.
Do you need a degree for remote process engineering manager jobs?
Usually, but demonstrated results carry significant weight alongside formal credentials. Most remote employers expect a bachelor's degree in chemical, mechanical, or industrial engineering. That said, candidates with equivalent technical experience, professional certifications in Six Sigma or Lean, and a provable record of process improvement projects have moved into manager roles without a traditional four-year engineering degree, particularly at smaller or remote-first manufacturers.
Which industries hire the most remote process engineering managers?
Most remote process engineering manager openings sit in Manufacturing, Agriculture & Farming, and Consulting & Professional Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire process engineering managers remotely because their engineering leadership functions, including project oversight, continuous improvement programs, and cross-site standardization, can be executed effectively from distributed teams using digital collaboration and process management tools.
