  • 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 have:

  • 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
