Wavin is a 11,000+ person manufacturing and distribution operator serving 80+ countries across water management, drainage, heating/cooling, and rural/urban infrastructure. The company is anchored in SAP, Salesforce, and HubSpot with heavy use of BIM and AutoCAD—a stack typical of large-scale, regulated industrial operations. Sales hiring (14 open roles, 18 posted in 30 days) outpaces engineering (4 roles) by 3.5x, indicating a market-expansion or consolidation phase; the commercial-director-level vacancy suggests leadership restructuring in revenue operations.
