* 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.

* Demonstrated success in prospecting, developing customer relationships, and creating new business opportunities, alongside the ability to support ongoing customer needs in collaboration with the broader sales team.
* Strong understanding of pressure-relief valves or related industrial valve applications; working knowledge of control valves is also valuable.
