Description

Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions (VWTS) is a worldwide leader in water recovery, treatment, and reuse.

We design, supply, and service a range of water systems and monitoring equipment in industries ranging from pharmaceutical to food and beverage applications, and from microelectronics ultrapure water to municipal water and industrial wastewater treatment.

We are one of the world's leading manufacturers of total organic carbon (TOC) analyzers and corresponding certified reference materials. We strive to provide not only superior technology and design, but also outstanding quality, service, and application support.

The Pilot Group performs pilot studies on customer sites to test our water and wastewater treatment technologies' performance on the customer's water source.

Pilot studies are performed using our fleet of pilot equipment that covers a wide range of product lines. Our equipment is stored and maintained in our two Pilot Shops in North America.

Pilot studies generate design data for future full-scale plants and provide our customers a chance to see the final product and solution performing at a pilot scale at their facility.

Pilot Field Service Representatives (FSRs) in the Pilot Group are responsible for performing on-site and in-house pilot equipment service support for a variety of pilot- scale water treatment technologies, mainly focused on membrane bioreactors, (MBR), ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, and physical- chemical processes such as clarifiers and dissolved air floatation (DAF).

On-site services at a customer site include commissioning, decommissioning, routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and daily operation of pilot scale water treatment systems.

When providing on-site service on customer sites, Pilot FSRs are key to ensuring the smooth operation of the pilot equipment for a successful pilot study through their planning, resourcefulness, and attention to detail.

They represent the company and build relationships with customers through customer focus and communication that contribute to securing future business for full-scale projects.

In-house service will include assistance during the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of piloting equipment prior to shipment to and upon return from Customer sites to ensure equipment quality control and increase efficiency on customer sites.

Pilot Field Service Representatives work hands-on with various types of mechanical equipment such as pumps and blowers, valves, chemical dosing equipment, PVC piping, and various types of instrumentation (pH, oxidation-reduction potential [ORP], conductivity, turbidity) to test, troubleshoot, and maintain the equipment.

They also work with V motors, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using Allen Bradley or Automation Direct products, and electrical control panels.
