Independent Design Manager · Tel Aviv
Azimuth Water helps EPC and project companies — and municipal, public, and industrial water teams — with accountable senior design management across the project lifecycle: tender and bid, detailed design, upper construction supervision, erection support where relevant, as-made (as-built) drawings, and startup & commissioning. Depth includes seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and related water and wastewater treatment scope.

Clients
CEOs, founders, and BU heads in water and desalination EPC & project companies — also municipalities, public water bodies, water corporations, and industry / factories.
Engineering managers, project managers, and proposal managers who shortlist and scope senior design capacity.
For decision-makers
Senior buyers do not hire another pair of hands — they hire someone who owns design clarity under commercial and execution pressure. Azimuth Water is structured for that: one accountable Design Manager who speaks process, disciplines, vendors, and project reality from bid through handover.
Services
Modular support across the project lifecycle — tender, detailed design, construction supervision, and startup & commissioning — used alone or under senior design management. Depth for engineering leads; outcomes framed for commercial stakeholders.
Detailed design and FEED deliverables where relevant — PFD, P&ID, heat & mass balance, BOQ, equipment selection, and technical specifications for SWRO design engineering, RO, UF, EDI, conventional treatment, and related unit operations.
Senior technical support for RFPs and desalination BOT/EPC tenders: process concepts, design documentation, vendor alignment, and multidisciplinary coordination to meet bid requirements and schedules.
Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary teams and external consultants across detailed design and execution; design reviews; interface control; upper construction supervision; erection support where relevant; production of as-made (as-built) drawings; and engineering input for project decisions.
Startup support, root-cause analysis of water-quality and process issues, chemical and operational tuning, and handover that protects long-term plant performance. Optimization of design choices and operating facilities to reduce OPEX.
Process and hydraulic design support for recirculating aquaculture systems — international RAS projects, water-quality troubleshooting, and stable system operation. Includes biosecurity design.
Presale and project engineering for industrial water and gas treatment — food, pharma, and power-related demin systems — including equipment specs and procurement support.
Support for advanced wastewater treatment projects — tertiary and quaternary treatment design — drawing on municipal WWTP and environmental engineering background. Environmental surveys framed as adjacent assessment inputs where project scope requires them — not as a standalone surveyor practice.
Selected experience
Independent and in-house design roles across desalination, industrial reuse, RAS, and municipal treatment.
Organizations in selected engagements
