Industrial pump and water solutions manufacturer scaling IoT and cloud infrastructure
Grundfos is a 20,000-person water infrastructure company shifting its engineering foundation from SAP monolith (R/3, SD, BW, CRM) toward modern cloud and IoT: adopting AWS IoT, OpenShift, and GitHub Copilot while maintaining deep CAD/CAM tooling (CATIA, Revit, AutoCAD, Ansys). The hiring velocity is accelerating across sales (135 open roles) and engineering (131), with heavy mid-to-senior representation, signaling both market expansion and internal capability-building around product connectivity and automation—a pattern consistent with their stated focus on 'intelligent, energy-saving' solutions and recent water-treatment acquisitions.
Notable leadership hires: Head of DEI, Materials Utility Team Lead, Sales Director, Chief HRBP, Production Team Lead
Grundfos manufactures pumps, controls, sensors, and water-treatment systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural markets globally. Founded in 1945, the company operates as a privately held industrial manufacturer with 10,001+ employees across 25+ countries. Core business spans water supply, wastewater removal, district heating, commercial HVAC, and process cooling. Recent acquisitions have expanded water-treatment capabilities. The company runs a dual engineering model: legacy ERP (SAP ecosystem) handling supply-chain and financial flows, paired with modern cloud infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL) for new product development and IoT-enabled device management. Sales and support operations span multiple regions; a stated pain point is uneven global technical support coverage.
Engineering relies on CATIA, Revit, AutoCAD, Ansys for design; CNC and PLC systems for manufacturing. ERP is SAP (R/3, SD, BW, CRM). Cloud foundation is Azure + Kubernetes + PostgreSQL; adopting AWS IoT and OpenShift for connected devices.
