    Job Description

    Position Summary

    The Regional Solutions Specialist is a technical and operational Subject Matter Expert (SME) responsible for leading complex dewatering, and groundwater management projects across an assigned region. This role brings together deep dewatering expertise with hands-on project management accountability - owning solutions from design and proposal through mobilization, execution, and close-out.

    Operating at the intersection of Sales, Operations, Fleet, and Customer Solutions, the Regional Dewatering Solutions Specialist partners closely with Branch teams, Sales, TSG, and customers to develop practical, safe, efficient, and cost-effective dewatering and groundwater management solutions that win work, improve execution, reduce operational risk, and expand market share.

    This is a highly visible, field-oriented role requiring deep dewatering engineering knowledge combined with strong project management capability and commercial awareness. The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder and problem solver who brings credibility to both customers and internal teams - equally comfortable designing a complex wellpoint system or leading a project review with a municipal client.
