Description

WOTA is a Japanese startup company that develops and implements small-scale decentralized water recycling systems. With our groundbreaking approach, we seek structural solutions to the world’s water crisis to make a water-stress-free future a reality.

Together with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, WOTA is introducing a new water treatment technology to the country, which makes it possible to reuse more than 98% of domestic wastewater onsite and at the household level (media coverage: “Antigua and Barbuda Department of Environment signs MoU with WOTA Corporation”). To push forward our pilot, we are now looking for a field engineer who will be responsible for the installation and the maintenance of the new water treatment systems across multiple project sites. A successful candidate will also be in charge of initial communications with our end-users in the event of a problem or initial defects.
