• Identifying and closing new business opportunities including repairs, upgrades, spare parts, field services, and maintenance agreements
• Serving as the primary commercial and technical resource for your customers
• Conducting customer site visits to evaluate equipment, understand operational needs, and recommend value-driven solutions
• Managing a healthy sales pipeline while accurately forecasting opportunities through CRM tools
• Collaborating closely with Engineering, Operations, Proposal Management, and Field Service teams to deliver outstanding customer solutions
• Representing the organization at customer meetings, industry events, and trade shows while expanding market presence
