We are looking for undergrad students, preferably freshman and sophomores to work for us entering information into our database on CEU training for operators and online information in support of water and wastewater operators.  Honestly, it’s a great way to learn more about the issues small systems face in the US in providing safe water and developing a sustainable approach to water and wastewater system management.  This includes onsite wastewater management as well. I would be glad to do a webinar to explain what we do, how it supports the USEPA mission of developing better compliance for small systems, and how any undergrad in water and wastewater will benefit from working in our program.  It will give them an opportunity to understand the issues small systems in the US face, and how best to support them.

Corona Environmental is looking for a remote Drinking Water Process Engineer. They have a large amount of pilot testing work starting up later this year and going through next year so they are interested in considering a full-time position for a Drinking Water Process Engineer based remotely in Illinois; the St. Louis area would be fine. Generally, Corona Environmental is looking for a master's level or higher on the education side and should have some related background, thesis, or research related to drinking water issues. Their pilot testing work will include both PFAS treatment with GAC and IX as well as pipe rig testing with harvested lead service lines for corrosion control treatment evaluation.
