Position Summary

The Strategic Account Engineer serves as the technical front end of the project development process for Stratus Systems.

This role is responsible for identifying, developing, and advancing project opportunities across semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, industrial, and mission-critical facilities. The successful candidate will build relationships with facility owners, facilities engineers, operations leaders, construction managers, project teams, and other key stakeholders while identifying capital projects, facility upgrades, process improvements, utility expansions, and infrastructure needs.

The Strategic Account Engineer serves as a technical advisor during the early stages of project development. This individual must possess sufficient engineering, construction, and facility knowledge to independently evaluate facility needs, understand mechanical and process utility systems, identify project opportunities, and help define project scope before transitioning opportunities to Stratus project management and operations teams.

The ideal candidate is comfortable walking into a facility independently, understanding how the plant operates, identifying areas where Stratus can provide value, and developing relationships that lead to future project opportunities. This individual can engage facility owners, engineers, and operations teams as a technical peer while recognizing opportunities involving process utilities, facility infrastructure, and mechanical systems commonly found in advanced manufacturing and industrial environments.
