You will inherit established EPC accounts and project pipelines while actively hunting for new capital equipment and packaged solution opportunities across the energy and industrial infrastructure landscape.

Key Responsibilities

• EPC Relationship Management: Drive Flowserve products, severe-service valve technologies, and process solutions into major North American EPC engineering contractors (e.g., Bechtel, Fluor, Kiewit, Wood) and design firms.

• Project Pursuit & Front-End Capture: Engage engineering leads, process engineers, and procurement managers early in the FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) and detailed design phases to ensure Flowserve is specified on project Approved Vendor Lists (AVL).

• Strategic Growth Alignment: Target high-growth strategic infrastructure sectors, including combined-cycle conventional power, LNG liquefaction/anti-surge systems, specialty chemicals, and mineral processing/mining.

• Commercial Execution: Partner closely with inside application engineering, commercial operations, and product specialists to deliver competitive technical proposals, commercial bids, and bid clarifications on multi-million-dollar project inquiries.

• Pipeline & Opportunity Management: Maintain active project opportunity tracking, pipeline health reporting, and monthly/quarterly forecasting for regional executive reviews.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related technical discipline; equivalent extensive flow control industry sales experience will also be evaluated.

• 5+ years of customer-facing technical sales or business development experience within flow control, valves, pumps, or related industrial mechanical equipment.

• Proven track record calling on Houston and North American EPC firms, engineering contractors, and corporate owner-operators.

• Strong familiarity with critical process applications, such as severe-service control valves, anti-surge systems, combined-cycle power steam systems, or LNG process piping.

• Demonstrated "hunter" capability with strong negotiation, pipeline management, and contract review skills.

• Willingness to travel regionally as required for customer presentations and project alignment meetings (estimated 15–25%).

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior OEM or manufacturer's representative sales experience with major flow control brands (e.g., Fisher/Emerson, Masoneilan/Baker Hughes, IMI CCI, Puffer-Sweiven, Sulzer, or Cameron/SLB).
