Role Purpose

Lead and supervise the Auxiliary Seal System Order Engineering team responsible for the technical execution of engineered seal support system orders. The role ensures that customer and business-unit requirements are translated into accurate, compliant, manufacturable, and cost-effective engineering deliverables. It provides technical and people leadership across order review, system design, documentation, manufacturing support, and global coordination while driving on-time delivery, quality, resource utilization, continuous improvement, employee development, and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end engineering execution for system orders, from technical handover and requirement review through design release, manufacturing support, documentation, and order closeout.

• Plan, assign, prioritize, and monitor engineering work based on order complexity, schedule commitments, engineer capability, and available capacity.

• Ensure engineered seal support systems, piping arrangements, instrumentation, components, and related documentation meet contractual, technical, safety, quality, and manufacturability requirements.

• Coordinate with global business units, application engineering, project management, sales, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and suppliers to resolve technical and schedule issues promptly.

• Monitor order progress, identify risks and constraints early, implement recovery actions, and communicate status and escalation needs to stakeholders.

• Maintain effective control of revisions, customer comments, technical deviations, approvals, and engineering records throughout the order lifecycle.

• Promote customer-focused execution and ensure technical commitments are met with the required quality and delivery performance.

Technical & Functional Requirements

• Strong working knowledge of engineered auxiliary seal support systems, including piping plans, reservoirs, coolers, filters, accumulators, instrumentation, valves, tubing, piping, and associated mechanical components.

• Ability to interpret customer specifications, process and instrumentation diagrams, general arrangement drawings, equipment data sheets, material requirements, and applicable industry standards.

• Practical capability in order engineering, system configuration, component selection, design review, detailing, bill-of-material preparation, and engineering change control.

• Sound understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, fabrication methods, welding, pressure-containing equipment, tolerances, GD&T, inspection, testing, and design for manufacturability.

• Proficiency in reviewing engineering drawings and models, together with effective use of CPQ, PLM, and ERP systems for configuration, document control, material definition, and order execution.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, presentations, and other business tools used for planning, analysis, performance reporting, and stakeholder communication.

• Working knowledge of relevant internal procedures and recognized international engineering, quality, and safety standards.

Leadership & People Management

• Provide clear direction, daily supervision, technical guidance, motivation, and coaching to order-engineering team members.

• Allocate work according to competency, workload, priority, and development needs while maintaining balanced utilization across the team.

• Set performance expectations and review progress against delivery, quality, productivity, utilization, and behavioral objectives.

• Build team capability through structured mentoring, technical reviews, knowledge sharing, cross-training, and individual development plans.

• Support onboarding of new employees by ensuring timely access to required tools, systems, processes, standards, and technical resources.

• Conduct regular one-to-one discussions, provide timely feedback, recognize strong performance, and address performance or conduct concerns in accordance with company practices.

• Support performance and pay-review processes in coordination with the Engineering Manager / GTEC Leader.

• Foster an inclusive, collaborative, accountable, and continuous-improvement culture consistent with Flowserve values and leadership expectations.

Qualifications & Experience

• Typically, 10 or more years of relevant experience with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or an equivalent engineering discipline;

• Demonstrated experience in auxiliary seal systems, mechanical seals, pumps, valves, pressure systems, packaged equipment, or a closely related engineered-product environment.

• Substantial experience in order engineering, product engineering, original-equipment engineering, applications engineering, or project-based technical execution.

• Previous experience leading, supervising, or technically coordinating an engineering team in a global or cross-functional organization.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cultures, functions, and time zones.

Competency

• Technical leadership and sound engineering judgment.

• Planning, prioritization, resource management, and execution discipline.

• Customer focus and ownership of commitments.

• Decision-making based on facts, risk, and business impact.

• Problem solving, root-cause analysis, and continuous-improvement orientation.

• Coaching, mentoring, performance management, and talent development.

• Clear communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management.

• Adaptability, resilience, accountability, and professional integrity.

• Attention to detail while maintaining awareness of cost, schedule, and overall business objectives.

Working Relationships

• Internal: Engineering Manager / Leader, global business-unit engineering teams, application engineering, project management, sales, operations, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, document control, service, finance, and human resources.

• External: Customers, suppliers, subcontractors, inspection agencies, and other technical partners as required for order execution.

• The role operates in a global matrix environment and requires regular coordination across functions, business units, and time zones.
