Specific Skills

Masters degree in Environmental Engineering with graduate level studies in biological wastewater treatment, hazardous waste, water quality modeling and aquatic chemistry.br br The local newspaper ads I.d.21, below ran on February 17, 2021; February 24, 2021; and March 3, 2021.br br BUSINESS NECESSITY In order to successfully perform these very challenging job duties at EMA, Inc., we require a Masters degree in Environmental Engineering with graduate level studies in biological wastewater treatment, hazardous waste, water quality modeling and aquatic chemistry. Workers without at least a graduate level education in Environmental Engineering would not have the theoretical or academic background needed to independently design and develop custom automated process control systems for the water and wastewater industry at a professional level applying broad principles, without templates, to create novel designs and solve advanced engineering and technical issues. This requires the use of engineering theory and principles normally taught only at the graduate level leading to a Masters degree in Environmental Engineering with graduate level studies in biological wastewater treatment, hazardous waste, water quality modeling and aquatic chemistry. This academic background is necessary to successfully work with other engineers and senior executives to explain and recommend the most important aspects of sophisticated automated systems to meet functional requirements. This academic preparation is absolutely required as a business necessity.br br NOT REASONABLE TO TRAINbr There is no one at the company able to train professionallevel engineers to successfully accomplish these job duties. On the contrary, we hired Ms. Sawant because of her education which is currently lacking at her level in the company, to accomplish challenging engineering job duties without further training. It is unreasonable to require Applicant to send workers out for training equivalent to a graduate degree as a substitute for the competency of a fully qualified professional engineer who has successfully completed directly relevant graduate level coursework with the latest and best practices industry wide.
