The Role
The Architectural Application Specialist provides technical and commercial support for Eastman’s architectural film business across EMEA. The role translates product-performance, glazing, fenestration, and building-performance information into practical recommendations for sales teams, distributors, dealers, installers, customers, architects, engineers, consultants, building owners, and other stakeholders.
The position supports customer opportunities and larger architectural projects by evaluating building and glazing requirements, recommending appropriate Eastman solutions, and explaining potential benefits related to energy use, occupant comfort, solar performance, safety, security, sustainability, and return on investment.
This is an early-career to developing professional role, performed with moderate guidance and collaboration with regional and global technical resources. Occasional travel of approximately 50% is expected, primarily within EMEA and, when required, internationally.
