Mueller, the nation's leading manufacturer of flow control devices for the water and gas distribution industries, has an immediate opening for a newly created Technical Sales Engineer – Data Centers position. Please note this is not an IT-related role nor is it eligible for any type of employment sponsorship.

The Technical Sales Engineer – Data Centers will play a critical role in accelerating the growth of our data center business by driving early-stage specification and approval of our Pratt Industrial Valve products with consulting engineers, EPC firms, OEMs, and end users.
