ChemTreat, a Veralto company, is seeking a Technical Consultant to partner with field sales teams and customers across the United States. This high-impact role involves applying industrial water treatment expertise to solve complex customer challenges, influence strategic sales opportunities, and improve system performance across a range of industries and applications.

Reporting to the Sr. Director, Global Technical Strategy, this role is remote-based in the United States and supports customers primarily throughout the continental U.S. Travel is a critical requirement, expected to average 60%-75%, typically three to four days per week with no regular weekend travel expected. The Technical Consultant plays a key role in the technology selection stage of the sales process, acting as the technical advisor and product advocate for ChemTreat solutions. This person must be able to translate complex technical concepts into practical recommendations for customers and sales representatives, supporting growth through deep technical credibility and strong customer engagement.
