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 Specialist Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote process engineering specialist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings.
Show your async collaboration skills upfront
Remote process engineering teams rely on written handoffs and tools like Confluence, Jira, or SharePoint to coordinate across sites. Call out your experience with these tools on your resume and in cover letters so hiring managers can picture you working effectively without daily in-person contact.
Build a portfolio of documented process improvements
Remote employers can't observe your work in person, so concrete artifacts matter. Compile before-and-after process maps, yield improvement reports, or Lean event summaries you can reference in interviews to prove your impact independent of a physical facility.
Prepare for remote technical screening formats
Many remote process engineering interviews include take-home case studies or live virtual walkthroughs of a process flowsheet. Practice narrating your reasoning clearly over video, since communication style carries more weight remotely than it does in an on-site interview.
Remote Process Engineering Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote process engineering specialist job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams in sectors like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing, where remote process work is well established. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, proficiency with process simulation and documentation tools, and the ability to coordinate with plant or lab teams asynchronously. Demonstrating past experience managing process changes or Lean/Six Sigma projects without in-person oversight gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote process engineering specialists?
Remote process engineering specialist roles are posted by GE Vernova, Pond & Company, and Pregis and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These employers tend to be remote-first firms, large distributed manufacturers, and contract engineering companies operating across multiple facilities in sectors like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food production.
Can you get a remote process engineering specialist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently with minimal on-site supervision from day one. Contract engineering firms and startups building out new processes are more likely to take a chance on junior candidates. Showing a capstone project, process improvement simulation, or documented internship results can substitute for direct work history and open the door to remote opportunities.
Do you need a degree for remote process engineering specialist jobs?
Usually, but not always in the same way. Most remote employers expect a bachelor's degree in chemical, industrial, or mechanical engineering for specialist roles, though some will weigh hands-on process improvement results, Six Sigma or Lean certifications, and demonstrated proficiency with tools like AutoCAD or Aspen alongside formal credentials. For contract or consulting roles especially, a strong portfolio of measurable outcomes can carry significant weight.
Which industries hire the most remote process engineering specialists?
Remote process engineering specialist roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Agriculture & Farming, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire remotely because their engineering teams are spread across multiple plants, facilities, or client sites, making distributed collaboration a natural fit for process documentation, analysis, and improvement work.
