Description
ISG is excited to bolster our team with a Water Treatment Technical Leader to join our team. Our Water/Wastewater team serves the essential Municipal and Industrial clients throughout the entire US and are comprised of employee owners in Sioux Falls, Storm Lake, Des Moines, and St. Louis Park offices. We are a full-service, multi-disciplinary team, who perform award winning work in planning, design, survey, and construction.
As an ISG Employee Owner, you would work directly with our Water/Wastewater Engineer Emily Brinkman in St. Louis Park. You would also work closely with our Water/Wastewater Group Leaders Tom Grafft in Storm Lake, Rachel Kloos in Sioux Falls, and Lenny Larson in Des Moines. Casey Patton is our Water/Wastewater Practice Group Leader, based in Des Moines.
Here are some projects we’ve worked on recently that might give you a better sense of what you’ll be doing day to day:
- Clarion Water Treatment Plant: The City of Clarion contracted with ISG to assist them with the planning, design, and construction of a new reverse osmosis water treatment plant capable of producing approximately 1 million gallons of water per day. The reverse osmosis system includes the membranes as well as pressure filters, holding tanks, transfer pumps and chemical feed systems necessary for the proper treatment of the water. Also included in this project were the installation of three vertical high service pumps and the rehabilitation of a well house. This project was funded through USDA and SRF funding sources. ISG provided the preliminary engineering report, pilot water plant assistance, funding assistance, survey, design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services for this project. The water treatment plant is currently under construction with a completion date scheduled in mid-2024.
- Rockwell City Water Reclamation Facility Improvements: The City of Rockwell City contracted with ISG to assist them with the planning, design, and construction of improvements to their existing water reclamation facility to provide for the treatment of a daily average of 350,000 gallons of sewage, with a total capacity to handle up to 3.8 million gallons of sewage per day during a wet weather event. The reclamation facility consists of headworks, equalization basin, and an activated sludge treatment process consisting of anaerobic, anoxic, and aeration basins and sludge pumping, storage, and handling facilities. Also included in this project was providing uv-disinfection of the effluent prior to discharge along with a process building and associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. ISG provided the preliminary engineering report, funding assistance, survey, design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services for this project. The facility improvements were completed in 2023.
- Sanitary Sewer and Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements – ISG developed cost – savings solutions to lower the chloride and e. coli effluent levels to meet State standards for the City of Pocahontas’s wastewater treatment plant and recommended efficiency improvements to its aging sanitary sewer system.
