• Strong knowledge of customer requirements, operating challenges, and market dynamics across key industrial verticals such as data centers, petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and utilities

Key Skills:

• Demonstrated ability to independently engineer temporary application solutions, including generator sizing, building load calculations, DX/AHU coil sizing, chiller and boiler sizing, duct, piping, and electrical sizing, distribution layouts, and selection of supporting accessories such as transformers, pumps, and heat exchangers
• Excellent verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders, internally and externally
• Strong technical writing skills, with the ability to create clear, audience-appropriate documentation, recommendations, and sales support materials
• Demonstrated ability to train, mentor, and develop team members and cross-functional partners across multiple roles
