Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world.... And to be honest, we’ve never stopped believing that... In 1986 it was a simple concept that microbiology teamed with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate an issue that was profoundly impacting the healthcare industry – HIV acquired through needle-stick injuries.

And then we kept going...
We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineer with general contracting experience to support the planning, procurement, installation, and commissioning of process equipment and utilities at medical waste treatment facilities across North America. This fully remote role will play a critical part in the execution of new facility builds, upgrades, and process improvement projects, ensuring all installations meet operational, safety, and regulatory requirements.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in industrial equipment installation, utility integration (steam, air, water, and electrical systems), and construction coordination, with proven experience managing projects from permitting through startup. You will serve as the technical link between design, procurement, construction, and operations, ensuring successful equipment commissioning and operator training.
This role includes travel (up to 50%) to support site preparation, oversee contractor work, and verify installation and system performance.
Role Overview
