## Description

The Applications Engineer II develops technically sound and commercially competitive equipment solutions for municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Working with greater independence than the Level I role, this position evaluates customer requirements, sizes and selects equipment, prepares proposals and cost estimates, and coordinates technical information across customers, sales, engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and vendors.

Roles and Responsibilities

 * Independently perform application engineering activities for standard and moderately complex municipal and industrial wastewater projects, including equipment sizing, system configuration, and preliminary cost estimates
 * Review project specifications, drawings, bid documents, process data, and customer requirements to identify technical risks, clarify scope, and develop compliant proposal strategies
 * Evaluate customer needs and recommend appropriate Komline Sanderson equipment and system solutions, escalating highly complex or nonstandard applications when appropriate
 * Prepare and review technical proposals, equipment data sheets, specifications, exceptions and clarifications, and customer submittals for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with project requirements
 * Develop budgetary and firm pricing by coordinating with procurement, vendors, suppliers, engineering, and manufacturing for ancillary equipment, custom components, and project-specific requirements
 * Serve as a technical resource to customers, sales representatives, and channel partners by responding to detailed inquiries and clearly communicating equipment capabilities, limitations, and application considerations
 * Lead technical portions of customer meetings, proposal reviews, and internal opportunity discussions; document decisions, assumptions, open items, and follow-up actions
 * Maintain accurate project, opportunity, pricing, and customer information within Salesforce CRM and other applicable business systems
 * Own the technical portion of order handoff activities by ensuring scope, assumptions, exceptions, and documentation are complete and accurately transferred to engineering and operations teams
 * Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, project management, procurement, and sales teams to resolve technical questions and ensure proposed solutions are practical, manufacturable, and responsive to customer needs
 * Develop and maintain working knowledge of Komline Sanderson products, wastewater treatment processes, applications, competitive offerings, and relevant industry standards
 * Contribute to sales tools, technical presentations, proposal templates, application guidelines, competitive analyses, and product documentation; recommend improvements based on project experience
 * Provide day-to-day technical guidance and knowledge sharing to Applications Engineer I team members and support consistent application engineering practices
 * Participate in customer visits, site evaluations, training programs, trade shows, and industry events as needed
