Job description

Join Siemens Energy and help grow our global SGT-50 gas turbine business!

You will become part of a supportive, collaborative team where different experiences and perspectives are valued.

Snapshot of your day

As an Area Sales Manager, you will spend your day building strong customer relationships, identifying new opportunities, and developing solutions that create long-term value. You will actively manage and prioritize your sales pipeline, lead customer dialogues, and coordinate sales projects from initial discussions through to successful delivery.

Working closely with colleagues, customers, and partners, you will combine commercial drive with collaboration and strategic thinking to support sustainable growth and create positive outcomes for everyone involved.

The role also includes regular travel, both domestically and internationally, with an expectation of travelling at least twice per month.

How You’ll Make a Difference

• You will develop new-unit and service business, owning opportunities from the first lead through contract award and handover to execution.
• Apply value-based selling and negotiate commercial terms.
• Build trusted, long-term customer relationships.
• Work closely with engineering, service and project teams while keeping the sales process moving forward.
• Analyze markets and competitors, turning findings into actionable insights.

• Knowledge of gas turbines, energy or industrial markets is an advantage—not a requirement.
• A degree in business, engineering or a related field is beneficial.

We are looking for someone that enjoys working with people and building strong relationships, whether with customers, partners, or colleagues. You're comfortable taking initiative and moving things forward, while also knowing that the best results often come from working together and sharing ideas.

You have a commercial mindset and enjoy spotting opportunities, but just as importantly, you're motivated by creating value and finding solutions that make a difference. You thrive in a role where no two days are the same and can balance multiple priorities without losing sight of what matters most.
