  • Maintain and refine pricing tools, templates, and cost databases to improve consistency and turnaround time.
  • Support regional business development with market intelligence and bid/no-bid inputs.

Requirement

  • 10+ years of experience in the water industry — preferably in EPC, OEM, or technology-driven companies.
  • Demonstrated success developing proposals for industrial wastewater, ZLD, and desalination projects.
  • Strong technical foundation in process design and cost estimation.Engineering degree in Chemical, Environmental, or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
  • Familiar with Southeast Asia's industrial and regulatory landscape, and comfortable navigating diverse markets.Excellent communication, coordination, and commercial acumen.
  • Hands-on experience in key Southeast Asian markets (e.g. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines).Exposure to membrane, thermal, or hybrid treatment systems.
  • Strategic mindset with attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple bids.
