• Take responsibility for account planning and cost efficiency, working with the District Sales Engineer
• Oversee system installation, including planning, reporting and execution, pre-facility meeting, start-up meeting and process support identification
• Serve as the point of contact for all service-related issues in your area; communicate with internal stakeholders; and provide support to Sales and Technical Support teams
