  • Review customer purchase orders to confirm alignment with the proposed scope, pricing, and established project budget.
  • Prepare and deliver comprehensive technical and commercial turnover packages to Project Management, Engineering, and Manufacturing.
  • Lead technical review and turnover meetings to communicate project requirements and confirm the scope of supply with downstream teams.

  • Strong understanding of high-purity water treatment processes, system hydraulics, sanitary design principles, and high-purity water-quality requirements.
  • Proficiency with engineering selection and sizing tools and ability to read technical drawings and specifications


It is a plus if you also:
  • Experience with Grundfos product lines or comparable water technology platforms
  • Familiarity with building services, water utility, or industrial process applications
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or working toward certification
