Full-time
The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
The Boring Company is looking for a Wastewater Treatment Plant Technician in Las Vegas, NV. The WWTP Technician is responsible for the day-to-day operation, monitoring, and maintenance of the site's wastewater treatment plant, ensuring continuous, compliant processing of water generated from tunneling and production operations. This is a full-time, hands-on operations role critical to keeping tunneling production running — and treatment capacity must keep pace with water volume from an expanding TBM fleet.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Operate and monitor WWTP equipment, including pumps, filters, and clarifiers, adjusting processes as needed to maintain safe and compliant treatment.
- Collect and log water and soil samples in accordance with plant procedures and regulatory requirements; perform routine field and lab testing.
- Perform build-out tunnel inspections a minimum of three (3) times per shift, monitoring build-out tunnel low spots and discharge pumps.
- Monitor dewatering tanks at other active TBM locations, and coordinate timely transfer or tanking of water into the WWTP for processing.
- Monitor and control neat water discharge to ensure compliance with all applicable permits and discharge limits. • Perform routine and scheduled preventative maintenance on plant equipment, including mechanical upkeep such as repairing or replacing worn cam locks on hose connections; identify and report mechanical, electrical, or process issues promptly.
- Maintain accurate operating logs, sampling records, and maintenance documentation for regulatory and internal reporting.
- Monitor plant conditions continuously during assigned shift; respond to alarms, upsets, or equipment failures to prevent unplanned downtime or discharge violations.
- Support Storm Water/SWPP-related field activity as directed by the WWTP Lead, including performing remediation items flagged in weekly NDEP and County SWPP inspection reports.
- Track usage of consumables (treatment chemicals, filters, replacement parts, PPE, etc.) and report current inventory levels and reorder needs to the WWTP Lead.
- Coordinate shift-to-shift handoff to ensure continuous plant coverage with no gaps in oversight.
- Follow all site safety procedures, PPE requirements, and Lockout/Tagout/Try-Out (LOTOTO) protocols when performing maintenance or equipment work.
- Communicate proactively with the WWTP Lead on plant status, water volume trends, and any issues affecting treatment capacity.
Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent required.
- 3-5 years of prior experience operating or maintaining a wastewater treatment plant, industrial water treatment system, or comparable mechanical/process equipment preferred.
- State-issued Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator certification/license a plus.
- Working knowledge of water/wastewater treatment processes and basic water chemistry.
- Ability to read and interpret meters, gauges, SCADA displays, and process control instrumentation.
- Basic mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills.
- Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and respond calmly to equipment alarms or process upsets.
- Willingness to work rotating shifts, nights, weekends, holidays, and on-call coverage as needed to maintain continuous plant operation.
- Strong attention to detail and record-keeping accuracy for regulatory compliance.
Physical Requirements / Work Environment
- Work is performed both outdoors and in an industrial plant setting, in all weather conditions.
- Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs., climb ladders/stairs, and work around tanks, pumps, and rotating equipment.
- Exposure to chemicals, odors, and wastewater requires consistent use of required PPE.
- Must meet all site minimum PPE requirements and pass required safety training prior to independent plant operation.
