MWH Constructors, a global leader in heavy civil construction of water and wastewater facilities, is currently seeking a Health & Safety Manager II to support an exciting 7 year/$1B+ wastewater infrastructure project in San Francisco, CA.

This project is very unique in that it involves a new, cutting edge technology in the US wastewater market called Thermal Hydrolysis. Thermal hydrolysis is an innovative technology where biosolids are essentially pressure-cooked at high temperature and pressure to improve the digestibility of the biosolids. This process has the following benefits:

• About half the digestive volume is needed compared to conventional anaerobic digestion, therefore a smaller treatment plant footprint.
• The process converts biosolids from Class B into Class A which can then be used for land fertilization.
• The biogas byproduct can be used as a renewable energy source to provide power to the plant.

When completed, this will be one of only a handful of Thermal Hydrolysis wastewater treatment plants in operation in the entire U.S.
