As Hydropower Solutions Engineer you will serve as a trusted advisor to customers and internal stakeholders, leading the development of strategic solutions for hydroelectric generation projects. You will focus on Renewable Energy and Hydropower, work closely with customers, sales, business development, proposal teams, and execution organizations to define solution strategies, establish project scope, and position Emerson for success on large capital and EPC projects.

You will leverage your hydro industry expertise to guide technical and commercial decision-making, develop repeatable solution frameworks, and help expand Emerson's renewable energy business. This position can be located in our Blue Bell, PA, Cranberry Township, PA, Amherst, WI, Novi, MI, or Charlotte, NC office. At Emerson Power & Water Solutions, we help customers in the world’s most critical industries address the challenges of modern life.

As an industry-leading controls automation company, we drive innovation that makes the world healthier, safer, and more sustainable!

Develop and maintain standard solution templates, estimating tools, cost and price benchmarks, technical standards, and best practices to improve consistency, efficiency, and quality.

Monitor industry trends, market drivers, competitive activity, and emerging hydro technologies.

### Who You Are

You continuously seek opportunities to improve processes, develop reusable tools, and create scalable solutions that support business growth.

### For This Role, You Will Need
