Job description

Flowserve is seeking an adaptive, detail-oriented Applications Engineer to join our team at the Pasadena Quick Response Center (QRC). This role acts as a critical technical and commercial bridge, reviewing client requirements and developing accurate, high-quality quotes for industrial equipment repairs and infrastructure projects.

Whether your strengths lean toward the commercial/sales side of engineering or you prefer diving deep into technical drawings, P&IDs, and specifications, this role offers a wide-open spectrum for growth. We are highly focused on internal development and welcome candidates with a strong foundation in shop operations, technical planning, or heavy equipment repairs who are ready to transition into a strategic engineering environment.

Core Responsibilities

• Quotation Generation: Review customer service requests, analyze equipment conditions, and develop comprehensive, accurate commercial quotes for pump and flow-control components.
• Technical Interpretation: Review customer documentation, mechanical specifications, and system layouts to ensure solutions align perfectly with operational demands.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal shop operations, QRC production planners, and field sales teams to ensure a seamless handoff from initial quote to final assembly.
• Client Engagement: Serve as a technical point of contact for clients, answering application questions and refining technical scopes as project dynamics change.

Requirements & Qualifications

• The Right Experience: Practical experience in heavy industrial equipment scheduling, planning, or repairs is highly valued. Note: Production Planners with a strong background in pump/rotating equipment overhauls are highly encouraged to apply.
• Educational Background: An engineering background is a plus, but a formal, technical Mechanical Engineering degree is not required for this position. Equivalent hands‑on industry experience is fully accepted.
• Technical/Commercial Balance: Ability to operate comfortably across a broad professional spectrum—from reviewing P&IDs and technical schematics to supporting client‑facing commercial discussions.
• Communication Skills: Strong collaborative mindset with the ability to clearly communicate technical details to both shop floor technicians and corporate clients.

What We Offer

• Proven Career Pathing: This seat has a track record of success as a transition role for high‑performing internal talent looking to build a long‑term corporate engineering career.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy the stability of a collaborative, local shop team paired with the modern flexibility of a hybrid work schedule (Fridays from home).
• Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive compensation package alongside day‑one corporate health, retirement, and wellness benefits.
