• Work with sales teams to position EMS and power monitoring solutions.
• Participate in customer meetings, workshops, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept activities.
• Support technical proposals, tender reviews, and solution design.
• Collaborate with global teams to develop the products and provide application examples and reference architectures.

System Integration & Commissioning

• Support system integrators, consultants, contractors, and commissioning engineers.
• Assist integration between metering devices, EMS platforms, SCADA, BMS, cloud, and enterprise systems.
• Support industry-standard protocols including Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, OPC UA, and REST APIs.

Customer Consultancy & Enablement

• Act as a trusted advisor for consultants, facility managers, energy managers, and end users.
• Help customers translate energy objectives into practical monitoring and optimisation strategies.
• Deliver technical training internally and externally
• Identify market trends and customer requirements to support future product development.

Skills & Experience:

• Strong knowledge of low-voltage electrical distribution, power metering, and Energy Management Systems.
• Experience with platforms such as Power Monitoring Expert (PME), EcoStruxure Power Operation (EPO), Resource Advisor, or similar solutions.
• Understanding of power quality, load analysis, demand monitoring, and energy reporting.
• Experience with Modbus, BACnet, Ethernet, serial communications, and IP networking.
• Knowledge of networking fundamentals, cybersecurity principles, and remote connectivity.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Experience working with consultants, system integrators, contractors, switchboard manufacturers, or energy specialists.
• Knowledge of switchgear, protection systems, cloud-connected energy platforms, and digital energy solutions.
• Familiarity with ISO 50001, Part L, energy efficiency programmes, Net Zero initiatives, sustainability reporting, and carbon reduction.
• Experience with power quality analysis, energy reporting, and metering applications.
• Exposure to BMS and smart building platforms such as EcoStruxure Building Operation, Niagara, Siemens, Trend, Honeywell, or Distech.
