Equipment includes centrifugal pumps (ANSI/API), vertical turbine pumps, multistage pumps, split-case pumps, positive displacement pumps, air-operated diaphragm (AODD) pumps, gearboxes, blowers, valves, motors, and other rotating equipment. Tencarva is a distributor and OEM-authorized service network for pump and process equipment, with 38 locations and more than 18,000 active customers across 18 states. Its services include equipment distribution, applications engineering, OEM-authorized repair, field service, custom fabrication, and automation and controls for industrial, municipal water and wastewater, power generation, mining, chemical processing, and other industries. The position offers a Monday–Friday day-shift schedule.
