The Engineer is responsible for the full lifecycle engineering and project management of custom pumping and fluid-handling systems at Miller Sales & Engineering. This role owns projects from initial concept and proposal support through detailed design, fabrication support, on-site startup, and commissioning. This position requires a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with at least 5 years of engineering experience, strong project execution skills, and the ability to work closely with sales, fabrication, and pump repair teams in a mining-focused, project-based environment. Project management and field execution are core responsibilities, not secondary duties.
