YOUR CHALLENGE:
• Develop and execute a proactive regional business-development strategy focused on opening new accounts, expanding market presence, and creating sustainable growth in pressure-relief applications. • Identify facilities and customer groups with untapped potential, including refineries, chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, and other process-industry end users. • Build relationships with reliability, maintenance, inspection, engineering, pressure-relief, operations, and procurement personnel to understand customer needs and reach key decision-makers. • Apply practical pressure-relief knowledge—including inspection, testing, repair, replacement, sizing and selection, and turnaround requirements—to identify customer needs and develop opportunities, often before a formal RFQ is issued. Also recognize control-valve needs where appropriate and coordinate with the broader Curtiss-Wright team to support customers across our valve portfolio. • Work closely with Regional Sales Managers, existing channel partners, and Curtiss-Wright technical resources to develop new opportunities while providing appropriate support to existing customers and business.
