Progressive Cavity Pumps Jobs (NOW HIRING)

This role is responsible for designing custom equipment packages and fluid process systems for industrial and municipal customers. Projects vary significantly in size and complexity. One day, you may be designing a simple equipment base, single-pump package, or blower skid. The next, you could be designing a large integrated system with multiple pumps, process piping, instrumentation, controls, filtration equipment, tanks, or diesel drives.

The work is highly custom and rarely repetitive, making it an excellent fit for someone who enjoys solving practical mechanical design challenges and seeing their designs come to life on the fabrication floor. You'll work closely with Sales Engineers, Applications Engineers, welders/fabricators, machinists, and our electrical controls division (ESSCO) to transform customer requirements into buildable equipment packages.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Design custom pump packages and fluid process systems using SolidWorks
• Create fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and bills of material
• Develop equipment layouts including pumps, motors, piping, valves, instrumentation, controls, and related components
• Ensure designs are practical to fabricate, assemble, transport, install, and service
• Coordinate closely with Applications Engineers to translate customer requirements into buildable systems
• Support fabrication, welding, assembly, and controls teams throughout the build process
• Incorporate customer specifications, manufacturer requirements, and internal design standards into package designs
• Manage drawing revisions and project documentation
• Assist with troubleshooting and design modifications during fabrication and assembly

Typical Projects Include

• Pump bases, carts, and equipment supports
• Single-pump and multi-pump skid packages
• Duplex, triplex, and quadplex pumping systems
• Pump packages with integrated piping, valves, instrumentation, and controls
• Diesel-engine-driven pump systems
• Wastewater lift stations and portable pumping systems
• Filtration, metering, and process dosing systems
• Blower, vacuum pump, gear pump, and progressive cavity pump packages
• Custom fabricated structures, guards, and equipment supports
• Municipal and industrial process equipment systems
