• Translate field data into clear inputs for proposal development teams, supporting accurate bill of materials and scope definition.
• Determine migration strategies, specifying reuse, replacement, or retention of system components.
• Review and validate proposals prepared by internal teams to ensure technical accuracy and alignment with site conditions.
• Support commercial teams during tender evaluation by addressing technical queries and coordinating revisions.
• Develop solutions based on Tank Hub technologies for smaller terminals and multi-product facilities.
• Recommend appropriate instrumentation based on product type, tank design, and operational needs.
• Support cost-effective solutions for customers where full-scale infrastructure is not required.
• Identify when cybersecurity considerations are required and engage specialized teams appropriately.
• Act as the interface between customers and cybersecurity experts to capture and communicate requirements.
• Ensure security compliance requirements are incorporated into the overall solution scope.
• Guide sales teams in qualifying opportunities effectively before technical escalation.
• Conduct technical workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions for customers and internal stakeholders.
• Represent Emerson as a technical authority in customer engagements, events, and factory acceptance activities. Who You Are:
