Account Manager

ABOUT USP TECHNOLOGIES

USP Technologies (USP) is an environmental services company providing full-service, turn-key chemical technology programs for the treatment of water, wastewater, soil and air in municipal and industrial markets, including equipment, system monitoring, on-site technical support and logistics.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Account Manager is the primary technical representative and account owner for assigned customer accounts, delivering the USP value proposition through four core areas: (1) wastewater sampling and analysis, (2) chemical logistics planning and oversight, (3) minor maintenance of chemical feed and monitoring equipment, and (4) account management, including program performance, customer relationships, contract compliance and account growth. Working on-site, the Account Manager builds trusted relationships from plant operators through utility management, translates field data into clear recommendations that keep programs performing to contract, and represents USP’s commercial interests at the account level, working independently and as field lead of a cross-functional account team.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS & RESPONSIBILITIES

Wastewater Sampling & Analysis Collect routine and event-driven grab and composite samples from influent, process and effluent points per customer, USP and regulatory protocols (chain-of-custody, preservation, labeling, holding times). Perform on-site analyses (e.g., pH, ORP, residual oxidant/peroxide, sulfide, DO, alkalinity, turbidity, jar testing) using portable instruments and wet-chemistry methods; calibrate and maintain field instruments. Record, review and trend results; validate data quality, flag out-of-spec conditions and recommend feed-rate or program adjustments. Prepare timely customer reports, system surveys and data summaries documenting performance against contract targets; coordinate with third-party labs for confirmatory or compliance analyses. Chemical Logistics Planning & Oversight Monitor chemical inventory and consumption at assigned sites; forecast usage and schedule deliveries to prevent stock-outs while minimizing excess inventory and freight cost. Coordinate deliveries with suppliers, carriers, USP logistics and site personnel; oversee bulk and packaged transfers to ensure they are safe, to the correct tank and compliant with DOT, OSHA and customer protocols. Inspect chemical storage, tanks, containment and unloading equipment; verify labeling, SDS availability and secondary containment integrity. Maintain accurate delivery, inventory and usage records; reconcile deliveries against orders and support monthly forecasting and invoicing. Minor Maintenance & System Support Perform routine inspection and preventive maintenance on chemical feed systems (metering pumps, tubing, injection quills, flow meters, level sensors, analyzers, control panels). Troubleshoot common feed-system faults (priming, tubing/check-valve replacement, sensor cleaning and calibration, minor leaks); escape larger repairs to the service or engineering team. Verify and adjust feed rates to program targets; maintain maintenance logs, spare-parts inventories and equipment records for each site. Account Management & Customer Relationship Own the health and performance of assigned accounts; serve as primary contact for plant operators through utility management, conducting regular site walk-throughs and program review meetings. Maintain an account plan for each site covering customer goals, decision-makers, KPIs, contract terms and renewal dates, risks and growth opportunities; review quarterly with the Account Manager. Prepare and present periodic business reviews to customer management covering performance versus contract targets, consumption and cost trends, value delivered and recommended program changes. Monitor contract compliance and scope; track performance guarantees, pricing and volume terms, and flag scope creep or change-order needs. Support renewals and re-bids by documenting performance history and value delivered and participating in negotiations with the Account Manager. Identify, qualify and advance opportunities to expand scope, add applications or introduce new USP technologies at existing sites; support proposals, trials and pricing; share customer regulatory, capital-project and competitive intelligence with the account team. Communicate results, recommendations and safety or out-of-spec conditions promptly to the customer and USP account team; own site-level issue resolution. Coordinate engineering, service, logistics and finance resources for the account; support timely invoicing; maintain contacts, activities and opportunities in the CRM and provide monthly volume and revenue forecasts.
