Production Project Manager

At Axine Water Technologies, we’re redefining how the world eliminates PFAS and other persistent contaminants from wastewater. Our breakthrough PFAS destruction platform is setting new standards for environmental sustainability and performance.
We’re growing fast. Axine leads PFAS and emerging-contaminant destruction, with electraCLEAR™ systems treating industrial wastewater at customer sites across the US, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. As demand accelerates, we need a Project/Production Manager to own delivery of our commercial systems from preliminary engineering through fabrication and factory acceptance testing, and to build the production capability that lets us scale. You’ll run multiple projects at once, shape how our Mitchell Island facility operates, and see the systems you deliver go into service destroying contaminants that conventional treatment can’t touch.
