Water Filtration Engineer & Inventor
Help us design and build commercial-grade water filtration systems from scratch — then make them better than anything on the market. Work alongside the CEO to research, source, assemble, and test filtration infrastructure. This role is for builders and inventors studying engineering, chemistry, or water science who want flexible, part-time work with real-world impact.
Responsibilities
- Research and reverse-engineer commercial filtration systems to understand cost and markup
- Source components locally and internationally, then design and assemble complete filtration units
- Test systems rigorously against WHO/GWCL standards and iterate on quality
- Document every build with bill of materials, assembly steps, and test results
- Prototype alternative approaches to reduce cost, energy, or complexity
- Experiment with low-cost sensor integration for real-time water quality monitoring
- Collaborate with the CEO on long-term R&D direction for proprietary water treatment technology
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled student (undergrad, masters, or PhD) in chemical, environmental, or mechanical engineering, chemistry, or water science
- Builder mentality — you've made things with your hands
- Foundation in water treatment principles (coagulation, filtration, disinfection, membrane processes)
- Inventor's curiosity — you ask "why is it done this way?" and try a different way
- Rigorous documentation habits
- Based in Greater Accra
