APAC Principal Technical Specialist – BD COR

You've spent your career solving complex technical problems, supporting sophisticated laboratory instrumentation and building a reputation as the person people turn to when systems are down and answers aren't obvious.

Now there's an opportunity to take that expertise to a regional level.

Join Waters in a newly created APAC role and become the technical leader responsible for helping shape the future service landscape for BD COR across the region. Working across multiple countries, you'll play a critical role in building technical capability, strengthening self-sufficiency and reducing reliance on global escalations, helping customers achieve exceptional system performance and uptime.

At Waters, innovation isn't just about technology. It's about enabling scientific discovery and improving lives.

As the APAC Principal Technical Specialist - BD COR, you'll be the region's go-to technical expert for BD COR, partnering closely with Field Service Engineers, Technical Specialists, Remote Support teams and global product experts to deliver exceptional technical outcomes across APAC.

This is more than a technical support role. It's an opportunity to build capability, influence strategy and create a lasting impact on how technical support is delivered across an entire region.

This role can be based in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

No two days will be the same.

One day you may be supporting a complex regional escalation, the next delivering technical training, reviewing performance trends across multiple countries or helping prepare the region for new product introductions and software releases.

You will:

Act as the APAC subject matter expert for the BD COR platform

Support complex technical escalations and troubleshooting activities across the region

Drive improvements in regional service capability and technical self-sufficiency

Develop and deliver advanced technical training programs for Field Service Engineers and Technical Specialists

Partner with global technical teams to share learnings, best practices and technical insights

Contribute to ongoing improvements in service processes, tools and documentation

You're naturally curious, highly analytical and at your best when solving complex technical challenges.

Perhaps you're currently working as a Senior Field Service Engineer, Technical Support Specialist, Escalation Engineer, Technical Instrument Specialist or Applications Engineer supporting sophisticated diagnostic, life science or laboratory automation platforms.

You enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring others and helping build capability across a wider team. You're excited by the opportunity to move beyond country-level support and play a key role in shaping technical excellence across an entire region.

You'll bring:

Experience supporting complex diagnostic, life sciences or laboratory instrumentation

A strong background in field service, technical support or escalation management

Demonstrated experience troubleshooting integrated hardware, software and connectivity issues

Strong understanding of automation technologies and instrument workflows

Excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities

Experience delivering technical training, coaching or knowledge transfer activities

The ability to influence and collaborate with stakeholders across multiple functions and countries

A passion for continuous improvement and operational excellence

You'll ideally have exposure to technologies such as:

Molecular diagnostics

Clinical diagnostics

Laboratory automation

Life sciences instrumentation

Middleware, networking or connectivity solutions
