In this role, you will contribute directly to how we create high‑quality products and solutions for our customers.

You Will

• Develop strong technical relationships with municipal wastewater plant builders, biogas plant builders, engineering consultants, OEMs, and EPC organizations.
• Lead application expertise for pumps used in municipal wastewater treatment, sludge handling, solids handling, and biogas/anaerobic digestion processes.
• Understand customer operating conditions and recommend appropriate pump technologies, configurations, materials, and accessories.
• Review customer specifications, process data, drawings, P&IDs, and technical requirements.
• Attend customer meetings, technical presentations, and project discussions with the sales team.
• Develop technical differentiators against competitive solutions.
• Identify opportunities for cross‑selling across the pump portfolio.
• Conduct classroom, virtual, and field‑based distributor training.
• Develop and deliver training modules for municipal wastewater and biogas segments.
• Train distributor salespeople to identify opportunities, ask the right technical questions, and independently perform basic pump selections.
• Create digital tools that simplify pump selection and application engineering.
• Translate technical pump knowledge into scalable digital tools in collaboration with product management, engineering, marketing, and IT teams.
• Develop tools and resources that improve technical support capabilities for customers, distributors, and sales teams.

Your Skills And Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. Equivalent combinations of education and relevant industry experience will also be considered.
• Preferred: 1+ years of experience in pumps, rotating equipment, wastewater treatment, biogas systems, process equipment, or other industrial process applications.
• Experience with one or more pump technologies and their applications is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated experience supporting distributors, OEMs, EPC contractors, consulting engineers, or plant builders is strongly preferred.
• Ability to analyze application requirements and recommend technically sound solutions for a variety of industrial and municipal process environments.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to customers, distributors, engineering partners, and internal stakeholders.
• Programming experience is not required; however, the ability to define technical logic, engineering calculations, workflows, and user requirements for digital tools and sales enablement solutions is important.
