Supported by our local Quick Response Center (QRC) in Benicia, CA, you will serve as the dedicated commercial and technical partner for our premier refining accounts delivering engineered solutions across centrifugal pumps, mechanical seals, auxiliary sealing systems, and aftermarket overhauls.

In this role, you will collaborate with refinery reliability engineers, maintenance superintendents, and operations leaders to solve recurring fluid-handling challenges, extend mean time between failures (MTBF), and capture equipment upgrades. We are actively seeking candidates with backgrounds in centrifugal pumps, mechanical seals, steam turbines, compressors, or adjacent heavy rotating machinery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary commercial and technical champion for Flowserve rotating equipment across dedicated Bay Area refining facilities.
  • Achieve territory bookings targets across engineered pumps, mechanical seals, replacement parts, and emergency repair services.
  • Conduct regular on-site plant walk-throughs and customer visits to inspect equipment, identify bad actors, and recommend API 610 / API 682 upgrade solutions.
  • Partner closely with the Benicia QRC engineering and operations teams to review teardowns, prepare repair scopes, and expedite turnarounds.
  • Lead commercial proposals, contract renewals, and customer presentations from discovery to final delivery.

Required Qualifications

  • 1+ years of technical sales, application engineering, field service, or reliability experience with industrial rotating machinery (centrifugal pumps, mechanical seals, compressors, or process equipment).
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field — OR equivalent hands-on technical sales / field service experience.
  • Practical familiarity working within heavy continuous-process facilities (refining, petrochemical, chemical processing, or power generation).
  • Valid Driver’s License and ability to commute locally between Bay Area customer plants and the Benicia QRC.
  • Legally authorized to work in the United States without company sponsorship.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Technical knowledge of API 610 centrifugal pumps or API 682 mechanical seals and piping plans.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and customer training.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
