About the job

Are you ready to make your mark on the future of food processing in the U.S.? As a Sales Engineer supporting Food Separation technologies, you’ll play a central role in delivering smart, efficient solutions to our customers across the food industry. You’ll partner closely with our sales team and clients to engineer systems that solve real-world challenges—bringing your technical know-how, creative thinking, and customer-first approach to every project.

If you’re energized by complex problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and seeing your ideas take shape in the field, this is your opportunity to drive meaningful impact.

This hybrid role is open to candidates based near our offices in Greenwood, IN; Richmond, VA; Warrington, PA; or Kenosha, WI—with a preference for those near Greenwood.

As a part of the team, you will:

• Develop competitive quotes—from technology selection and sizing to scope of supply and cost estimation

• Support order execution through technical reviews and project management

• Act as the technical expert in resolving complex claims and customer issues

• Train the sales team on new product launches and the competitive landscape

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure customer satisfaction and project success

What you know:

You have a bachelor's degree in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering or a related field (preferred), or equivalent work experience, and:

• 2+ years of industry experience (recent engineering grads will be considered)

• A background in separation technologies is a plus

• You’re comfortable evaluating and prioritizing multiple tasks

• You have strong PC skills and can navigate technical tools with ease

• You’re open to occasional travel (less than 10%) to support customer and project needs

We care about diversity, inclusion and equity in our recruitment processes. We also believe behavioral traits can provide important insights into a candidate's fit to a role. To help us achieve this we apply Pymetrics assessments, and upon application you will be invited to play the assessment games.

What’s in it for you?

At Alfa Laval, we carefully consider a wide range of factors to determine your total compensation package. We rely on market indicators and consider your specific job, background, skills, and experience to get it right.  The base salary for this role is typically $72,000 to $100,000.
