Sales Engineer

About The Role

This is a ground-floor technical sales position for someone early in their career. You'll learn industrial fluid handling from the inside out: centrifugal pumps, air-operated diaphragm pumps, and the fabricated systems they go into. You'll learn how our customers in food and beverage, chemical processing, water and wastewater, oil and gas, and general industrial actually run their plants. And you'll learn how to turn a customer's problem into a solution they'll buy. We're not looking for someone who already knows pumps. We're looking for someone who wants to, and who is comfortable picking up the phone.
