You will:
- Serve as a primary point of contact for assigned customer accounts, responding quickly to questions about products, pricing, and order status for boilers, steam equipment, pumps, and related hydronic components.

- Coordinate product deliveries and logistics to ensure accurate and on-time shipment of boilers, steam packages, pump skids, and other hydronic equipment.

- Keep job lists, quote records, and project schedules up to date in the quote/project management system.
- Use industry databases to research upcoming projects and perform preliminary takeoffs for hydronic and steam applications (e.g., boiler plants, heating hot water systems, and process steam).
- Maintain project timelines and documentation, including submittals, customer acknowledgements, delivery schedules, IOMs, and project closeout packages for boiler and hydronic projects.
- Develop Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manuals so customers have clear instructions for operating and maintaining their boilers, steam systems, and hydronic equipment.
- Collaborate closely with manufacturers to resolve product and project issues, support equipment start-ups, and help coordinate warranty-related work on boilers and steam/hot water systems.

- High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

- Solid time management skills and follow-through; you take ownership of tasks and see them through.
- Proficiency with business software and order-entry systems (CRM/ERP), and the ability to learn new tools quickly.
