Would you like to be part of a team that is commercializing an innovative way to improve the environment, water quality, and quality of life for all?
Enspired Solutions seeks a PhD-level, experienced, and highly motivated Lab Manager at our Lansing Michigan headquarters to oversee the daily operations of our wet chemistry laboratory.

About Enspired Solutions
Enspired Solutions is a women-owned startup established to tackle one of the most pressing environmental issues worldwide. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) 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 and, due to their high stability in natural environments, they are also called “forever chemicals.”
Enspired Solutions is commercializing a USEPA-award-winning, patented chemical technology to permanently destroy PFAS in water and return them to non-toxic molecular components without the need for off-site disposal.
We call our UV-based water treatment reactor the PFASigator™ and foresee that it will become an in-demand water treatment technology. Our startup company is set to expand rapidly and we need a highly skilled, self-motivated Lab Manager to join our diverse team and help us meet our customer’s PFAS destruction needs.
