Flowserve is seeking an operationally driven client-facing On-Site Applications Engineer to serve as the critical technical anchor for our active Life Cycle Advantage (LCA) partnership in Tulsa.

You will not be stuck behind a remote desk calculating formulas all day. You will be physically embedded on the refinery floor partnering directly with plant operations reliability engineers and maintenance crews. While your core domain will center on maximizing the reliability and lifespan of mechanical seals you will cross the fence line daily into complex pump optimization and fluid systems diagnostics to prevent downtime before it happens.

Core Responsibilities

• On-Site Technical Consultation: Act as the primary face-to-face technical expert at the refinery providing rapid-response engineering recommendations directly to the clients plant operations teams.
• System Diagnostics & Optimization: Identify root causes of equipment faults performance anomalies or premature component wear translating live floor constraints into accurate engineering specifications.
• Lifecycle Contract Execution: Manage audit and track the ongoing Life Cycle Advantage (LCA) parameters to hit strict plant reliability safety and efficiency targets.
• Cross-Functional Asset Support: Lead technical focus areas on mechanical seal configurations while providing mechanical diagnostic support for rotating equipment packages (primarily industrial pumps).
• Engineering Liaison: Serve as the strategic bridge between refinery operators reliability teams and Flowserves off-site manufacturing facilities to ensure seamless turnaround executions and component supplies.

What We Are Looking For (Required Qualifications)

• Solid Industrial Foundation: Direct professional background operating within an industrial plant refinery chemical facility or heavy manufacturing environment.
• Fluid Control Domain Expertise: Hands-on technical understanding or application engineering familiarity with mechanical seals and industrial pump systems.
