Full Job Posting

Education & Experience

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline
  • 8–12 years of experience in heavy industrial or process environments – metals, mining, cement, food & beverage, or other power and water-intensive industries
  • Demonstrated experience in application engineering, technical offer creation, or process engineering roles
  • Proven track record of customer-facing technical engagement at plant level
  • Prior exposure to high pressure fluid systems – descaling, hydraulic press supply, or high pressure washing – is a strong advantage
  • Experience working with or alongside industrial sales teams, ideally in a technical enablement or pre-sales capacity
  • Strong working knowledge of industrial Heating, Cooling, and Water Transfer systems – this is the non-negotiable technical foundation of the role
  • Competency in high pressure application engineering – descaling systems, high pressure washing and cleaning, and hydraulic press fluid supply circuits
  • Ability to read, interpret, and commercially analyse P&IDs and process schematics across diverse industrial applications
  • Understanding of chiller operations, selection principles, and integration into industrial process cooling systems
  • Knowledge of cooling tower operations including parallel configurations and system-level performance
  • Competency in parallel operations – boilers, pumps, chillers, cooling towers – and the hydraulic and thermal interdependencies between them
  • Solution architecture capability for process applications – able to design system-level solutions, not just select individual components
  • Ability to build energy savings calculations, ROI models, and carbon reduction cases from first principles
  • Familiarity with industrial protection classes, IP ratings, and hazardous area compliance requirements
  • Working knowledge of CRM tools and pipeline management disciplines
  • Soft Skills
  • Technically authoritative – credible with plant engineers and process managers on their terms, not on marketing language
  • Commercially minded – able to translate technical insight into financial and strategic value for the customer and for Armstrong
  • Strong communicator and trainer – capable of simplifying complex technical concepts for sales teams and non-technical stakeholders
  • Influential without authority – able to drive adoption of industrial strategy and solution selling discipline within sales teams that do not report to this role
  • Self-directed and entrepreneurial – comfortable building in ambiguous environments with limited precedent, as the first person in this function
  • Collaborative across time zones, cultures, and functions within a global matrix organisation
  • Fluent in English; additional language proficiency (Hindi, Mandarin, or European languages) an advantage depending on base location
  • Why Armstrong Fluid Technology?
  • By joining us, you’ll become part of a global community dedicated to pushing the boundaries of fluid-flow technology. This role offers a rare opportunity – to build something from the ground up. You will establish Armstrong’s Industrial RSEC function, shape how the company engages with some of the world’s most demanding industrial customers and grow into the leader of a function that will define Armstrong’s industrial commercial capability for years to come. Together, we’ll build tomorrow’s solutions today.
