Civil Engineer (Vacuum Systems)

Flovac is a global leader in vacuum sewer technology, delivering innovative wastewater solutions across municipal and utility markets. As we expand in the United States, we are building a team that combines technical excellence with real-world application to support engineers, owners, and contractors.

ROLE OVERVIEW  

We are looking for a Civil Engineer to provide technical leadership and system design capability across our U.S. projects.

This is not a back-office design role. You will work directly with consulting engineers and project stakeholders to ensure vacuum sewer systems are correctly applied, well designed, and successfully delivered.

You will play a key role in shaping projects early, building engineering confidence, and converting opportunities into practical, buildable solutions.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES  

System Design & Technical Leadership  

• Develop vacuum sewer system concepts and layouts  
• Support network design including profiles, zoning, and valve placement  
• Ensure alignment between collection systems and vacuum stations  
• Provide technical input into proposals and early-stage project development  

Engineering Firm Engagement  

• Work directly with consulting engineers and design teams  
• Review and guide system designs  
• Provide practical, experience-based advice  
• Help engineers understand and confidently apply vacuum technology  

Project Development Support  

• Participate in early-stage meetings with engineering firms and clients  
• Translate opportunities into clear technical concepts  
• Support specification development and design inclusion  
• Strengthen Flovac’s technical credibility in the market  

System Integrity & Risk Management  

• Identify and prevent poor system design decisions  
• Ensure systems are treated as integrated networks, not individual components  
• Support internal technical review prior to supply  
• Protect system performance and long-term reliability  

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR  

Qualifications  

•  Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering  
• 7–15 years of relevant experience  
• Professional Engineer (PE) preferred or in progress

Experience  

• Sewer collection systems or utility infrastructure  
• Consulting engineering or design environments  
• Working with municipalities, utilities, or developers  

Key Traits  

• Practical and solutions-focused mindset  
• Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences  
• Comfortable working externally with consulting engineers and stakeholders  
• Understands real-world system behavior, not just theory  

HOW YOU’LL WORK  

You’ll work closely with our Business Development team:  

• Business Development opens opportunities and builds relationships  
• You provide technical depth, credibility, and design leadership  

Together, you will engage engineers early, shape project direction, and help secure specifications and project wins.

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $110,000 – $170,000 (target range $120,000 – $150,000)  
• Performance Bonus: 10–20% based on project support and successful outcomes  
• Benefits: Competitive package including health, PTO, and travel support  

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS  

Engineering firms control system design and specification.  

Vacuum systems are often misunderstood or misapplied.  

Your role ensures Flovac systems are correctly designed, integrated, and perform as intended, protecting both project outcomes and our reputation in the market.

You won’t just be designing systems.  

You’ll be a technical partner to engineers and a key contributor to winning work.
