• Collaborate with ACE, Projects Quotation Team, Project Execution Team, Waterworks teams, and Management to continue building best practices for handling waterworks, EPC, contractor, and end-user projects as the division grows.
• Partner with ACE teammates, project managers, and technical specialists to execute projects that combine engineered automation packages with complex documentation and submittal requirements.
• Recommend products and solutions that align with client needs, including valves, actuators, electric motor operators, mounting kits, accessories, and engineered automation systems.
• Establish and maintain strong customer relationships, serving as a key point of contact for major accounts and strategic project opportunities.
• Coordinate with inside sales, outside sales, vendors, valve shops, fabrication teams, and waterworks stakeholders to ensure accurate quotes, timely builds, and seamless delivery.
• Conduct project meetings, track milestones, and prepare status updates for customers and leadership.
• Drive alignment with Ferguson's Intentional Product Strategy (IPS) to maximize gross margin, standardization, and efficiency.
• Serve as a liaison between field teams, customers, and vendors to resolve technical or project challenges quickly and minimize delays.
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and support ACE's mission of standardization, collaboration, and shared best practices across districts and business groups.

• 3-5 years of project management, valve automation, engineered products, waterworks, or related industry experience preferred.
• Valve automation experience is highly preferred, including experience with actuated valve packages, engineered automation packages, or complex valve assemblies.
• Electric motor operator experience is highly preferred, including familiarity with Limitorque, Rotork, EIM, AUMA, or similar MOV products.
