About Enspired Solutions
Enspired Solutions is a startup company established to tackle one of the most pressing environmental issues worldwide. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also called "forever chemicals," are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been widely used for more than 60 years to make firefighting foams, coatings, and lubricants. PFAS are known to be toxic. Existing, commercial treatment technologies capture PFAS for disposal elsewhere and risks re-releasing PFAS into the environment. Enspired Solutions is commercializing a USEPA-award winning, patented technology to permanently destroy PFAS in water. We call our UV-based water treatment reactor the PFASigator and foresee that it will become an in-demand water treatment technology.
We are set to expand rapidly and we need highly-skilled, self-motivated Technician 1 to join our diverse team and help us meet our customer’s PFAS destruction needs.
