Position Summary
Flowserve is seeking an Engineering Supervisor to lead key dry gas seal engineering and customer-support activities.

· Hands-on learning in seal assembly, dynamic seal balancing, hysteresis testing, and dry gas seal dynamic testing.
· Ongoing collaboration with OEM Engineering, Aftermarket Engineering, and operational teams.
Future Leadership Opportunities
As the organization evolves and business needs develop, additional leadership opportunities may be available beyond the initial scope of this role. These opportunities may provide broader exposure to leadership in other functional areas.
Any future expansion of responsibilities will be determined based on organizational needs, the individual’s demonstrated capability, and appropriate alignment with existing operational leadership.
Required Qualifications
· 5+ years of experience with mechanical sealing technology.
· Strong technical aptitude and an interest in developing deeper knowledge of dry gas seal products and testing systems.
· Effective communication, organization, and cross-functional coordination skills.
· Ability to work successfully with Engineering, Operations, Commercial, Planning, Project Management, and customer-facing teams.
· Commitment to safety, quality, customer support, and continuous improvement.
