Water, wastewater, and drainage engineering for Brazilian municipalities and developers
SANEARES designs water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure for public and private clients across Brazil. The stack is heavily CAD and hydraulic modeling–focused (AutoCAD, Revit, WaterCAD, WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, ArcGIS)—typical for civil infrastructure firms—but the project list reveals active investment in BIM coordination and interference detection, suggesting a shift toward cross-disciplinary digital workflows. Recent hiring is engineering-concentrated and accelerating, with a mix of senior and mid-level roles, pointing to capacity scaling rather than new function entry.
SANEARES is a 51–200 person engineering and environmental consulting firm based in Valinhos, São Paulo, founded in 2019. The company serves both municipal and private development clients with end-to-end sanitation infrastructure services: water supply and sewerage network design, wastewater treatment plant projects, urban drainage systems, and feasibility studies. Their work spans conceptual design through executive-level project delivery, with embedded compliance review and cost-optimization modeling (CAPEX/OPEX analysis). Core pain points center on cross-discipline coordination, BIM process adoption, and timeline/cost predictability—challenges typical of firms scaling from traditional CAD workflows into integrated, multi-disciplinary delivery.
Primary tools are WaterCAD, WaterGEMS, and SewerGEMS for hydraulic modeling; AutoCAD, Revit, and Civil 3D for design; ArcGIS and QGIS for mapping; Autodesk BIM 360 for coordination.
Currently Brazil only, with headquarters in Valinhos, São Paulo. Hiring is limited to Brazil.
