01 / DESIGN
Process & civil engineering for treatment plants of every scale.
Hydraulic modeling, civil works, process selection, equipment specification. We design to local conditions and Jamaican regulatory requirements.
View capability →We design, build, and operate wastewater infrastructure across all 14 parishes — every project rooted in environmental stewardship, technical rigor, and operational accountability.
Family-owned and locally operated since 2003, CEWS designs, builds, and operates wastewater treatment systems for municipalities, resorts, and industrial clients across Jamaica.
Catches large solids — rags, sticks, plastics — before they reach the pumps.
Heavy material like sand and gravel settles out at the bottom and is removed.
Water slows down. Remaining suspended solids sink, oils float, and water clarifies.
Oxygen is pumped in. Bacteria multiply and break down the organic load in the water.
Treated water separates from the bacterial biomass. The biomass returns for reuse.
Ultraviolet light inactivates any remaining pathogens. The water leaves as Class A effluent.
From feasibility studies to long-term operations, we deliver every stage of wastewater infrastructure under one engineering hand — and one responsible signature.
Hydraulic modeling, civil works, process selection, equipment specification. We design to local conditions and Jamaican regulatory requirements.
View capability →Site supervision, contractor coordination, materials inspection. We hold every joint, every weld, every concrete pour to engineering tolerance.
View capability →Trained operators, preventative programs, real-time monitoring. We keep plants running at spec for the entire asset lifecycle.
View capability →NEPA filings, effluent monitoring, audit support, environmental impact documentation. Compliance handled, paperwork closed.
View capability →Reuse strategies, anaerobic digestion, solar integration. Every plant we touch is engineered for long-term environmental fit.
View capability →Every sector carries different concerns — pathogen control in healthcare, discretion in hospitality, audit trail in government. We engineer to each.
Procurement-ready documentation, direct relationships at NEPA and NWA, and a public-health accountability standard we apply to every plant.
Resorts have a different problem set than municipalities — guest experience, brand standards, variable seasonal loads, and water economics. We engineer to that brief.
Hospital wastewater carries pathogens, pharmaceuticals, and audit requirements that consumer-grade systems don't address. Engineered for zero unplanned downtime and full audit trail.
Industrial wastewater is rarely uniform — variable loads, process-specific contaminants, multiple tenants. We design systems that handle the worst-case input and stay compliant on the worst day.
For developers, wastewater is one piece of a larger build. We integrate at the masterplan stage and stay through handover to long-term operations, so the system performs across the asset lifecycle.
Every project follows a disciplined sequence — engineering rigor at each stage, with water clarity as the visible outcome of the work.
Site analysis, hydraulic studies, regulatory mapping.
Process engineering, civil works, equipment specification.
Build-out with quality control at every interface.
Testing, calibration, operational handover.
Preventative programs and 24/7 operational support.
Lifecycle management, capacity planning, upgrades.
Three principals carry full responsibility for the firm’s engineering, operations, and client relationships. Every project crosses one of their desks.
Twenty-plus years in Jamaican civil engineering. Founder. Sets the firm’s technical and ethical standards.

Forty-plus projects across all fourteen parishes — municipal, resort, government, industrial. Every one accounted for, audited, and operating to spec.
Coastal-zone municipal plant serving Port Antonio and surrounding fishing communities. Designed for salt-spray durability and hurricane resilience, with energy recovery from solar arrays.
18,000people servedTriple-train sewerage upgrade for Spanish Town and surrounding districts. Modernized aging civil works while keeping the existing plant operational throughout the build.
45,000people servedCatchment-wide sewerage retrofit for communities upstream of a critical drinking water source. Protected the Rio Bueno watershed from informal discharge.
22km of catchmentWastewater reuse system for a 600-key all-inclusive resort. Treated effluent irrigates landscaping and feeds cooling-tower makeup, cutting potable water demand by 38%.
380Kgallons/day reusedIndustrial-grade effluent treatment for the Kingston port industrial estate. Handled variable loads from twelve tenant operations with high-strength wastewater streams.
2.4Mgallons/day capacityHealthcare-grade wastewater treatment with biological inactivation. Triple-redundancy disinfection meeting MOH standards for medical facility discharge.
340hospital beds servedThe firm operates on a rolling pipeline. Here’s what’s on the workbench right now — design boards, construction sites, and plants in commissioning.
Three perspectives from our operating portfolio — government, hospitality, and healthcare. Names withheld for client discretion until publication consent is received.
Their team handled our Class A certification audit without a hiccup. Three years in, operations have been flawless and the monthly reports arrive on time every time.
CEWS designed our plant, built it, and now runs it. One number to call for everything, one team that knows the system. For a 340-bed hospital, that’s worth a lot.
Twenty years of working with Jamaican regulators shows. Every NEPA submission cleared first round. They understand the local terrain in a way overseas consultants don’t.
Government, municipal, resort, and industrial clients across Jamaica choose CEWS for one reason: we own the outcome.
Born in Jamaica, built for Jamaica. We know the regulations, the soil, the seasons.
Every plant designed for long-term ecological fit. Effluent standards exceeded as default.
Twenty years of working with NEPA, NWA, and parish councils. Permits handled in-house.
99.5% uptime across the operating portfolio. Twenty-four-seven response, every plant.
Design, build, commission, operate, maintain — under one engineering hand, one signature.
CEWS hires engineers, operators, and field staff across all fourteen parishes — people who want their work to matter long after handover. We hire from Jamaica and our team grows into the senior roles here.
You'll work on real infrastructure with real consequences — not powerpoint decks. Plant design, commissioning, operations, and field problem-solving.
Small team. Flat structure. Your work goes from drawing board to operating plant under your name. Every principal started in the field.
We don't churn through staff. Most of our senior engineers have been with CEWS over ten years, and the structure is built for them to grow into principal roles.
Don't see a fit but think you'd add value? Write to us anyway — a principal reads every application, and we hire when we meet the right person.
Government, municipal, industrial, resort — every inquiry receives a direct response from a principal within two business days.
