VeoliaWater Technologies& Solutions

Water treatment and our world go hand in hand, even if you don't know it (and many don't, so don't worry, you're not alone). As an industry, taking care of our water has been important since the beginning of civilization. Water treatment consists of more than just your township maintenance person coming to check your water usage levels or to turn the water lines on or off in your neighborhood. Although that is the most visible and most well-known aspect of water treatment, at the Association of Water Technologies (AWT), we represent an entirely different aspect of water treatment personnel. In the commercial and industrial industries, water treatment is viewed as a means of helping a company and their buildings be energy efficient by maximizing heat transfer from one equipment surface to another, as well as by keeping the HVAC system piping clear of potential foulants, like scale, corrosion, and microbiological contamination. Basically, water treatment describes those processes used to make water more acceptable for a desired end-use, which can include use as drinking water or industrial processes, HVAC cooling or heating, or waste processing.

The following is a breakdown of the various career pathways available in industrial water treatment. One thing to note however, is that just like water treatment systems, each water treatment company is unique. Some of the job responsibilities listed may be combined and be completed by a single person within a company, while other jobs may not be required by a company at all. Water treatment companies encompass a variety of products and services, ranging from service providers to testing laboratories to manufacturers of water treatment equipment or products. Choosing the best path to take within the water treatment industry will depend on your personal interests and strengths. Whichever your career choice, you will become part of one large family in the spectrum of water treaters working together toward the same goal.
