Lead complex pollution-control projects with TANN Corporation
When you step into our Kaukauna, WI facility, you’ll be the orchestrator who keeps industrial air pollution control projects moving—from concept to commissioning. Your morning might start by aligning schedules with Designers and the Production Manager, followed by approving purchase orders and checking BOMs with Purchasing. By midday you’re validating engineering calculations for media, poppet valves, fans, burners, and ducts. In the afternoon, you’re on a call with a customer to clarify milestones, then you wrap up by preparing for a site visit to supervise installation and start-up. Throughout, you keep safety front and center with a Low Risk Tolerance and High-Risk Awareness.
Who we are
TANN Corporation is a world leader in design, manufacturing, and maintenance of air pollution control equipment. We provide custom-designed systems and turnkey solutions. Our thermal oxidizers operate across the globe supporting industries such as automotive, aerospace, food processing, and chemical manufacturing.
