Then join us in our mission to pioneer smarter solutions for moving and transforming water, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing quality of life for people.

As our Project Execution & Engineering Leader, you will be providing strategic and operational leadership for the entire Project Execution & Engineering organization by developing people, strengthening cross-functional alignment, and driving project excellence across our modular systems portfolio. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.

As a key part of the Project Execution & Engineering team, you'll create impact by leading organizational transformation that elevates project delivery performance, strengthens team capabilities, and ensures Grundfos consistently exceeds customer expectations across every project we execute. This role is hybrid (at least 3 days per week in office) in our Brookshire, Texas site.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Lead, develop, and mentor project managers, project engineers, and assistant project managers — establishing clear expectations, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement across the organization
• Provide senior-level oversight of the project portfolio, identifying risks, driving escalation resolution, and ensuring projects meet financial, schedule, quality, and customer satisfaction objectives
• Align Project Execution & Engineering priorities with business strategy by partnering with Sales, Operations, Finance, and Supply Chain leadership to anticipate execution requirements and support growth
• Establish governance standards, scalable processes, and best practices that improve cycle time, predictability, and the overall customer experience across business units
• Evaluate organizational capacity, pipeline, and resource needs — making strategic recommendations on staffing, structure, and succession planning to build long-term capability
• Serve as senior escalation point for complex customer issues, commercial negotiations, and cross-functional decisions requiring experienced judgment
