Job Details

I've recruited for this team in three other markets, and every Sales Engineer I placed is still there today and performing at a high level. That kind of retention says a lot about both the opportunity and the leadership.

Are you already known by electrical contractors, consulting engineers, end users, or EPC firms across the Houston market?

This is a true relationship-driven sales role focused on developing and growing key contractor and end-user accounts while managing complex project opportunities from specification through award.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and expand relationships with major electrical contractors, EPC firms, consulting engineers, distributors, and end users throughout the Houston market.

• Identify, qualify, and pursue large project opportunities from early design through final procurement.
• Build comprehensive project quotations and complete equipment packages that solve customer requirements.
• Lead commercial negotiations while maintaining long-term strategic customer relationships.
• Partner with engineering, estimating, and operations teams to ensure seamless project execution after award.
• Maintain an active sales pipeline, forecast future business, and develop strategic account growth plans.
• Become a trusted technical and commercial advisor for customers navigating complex power distribution projects.

Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering Degree Preferred.
• 5+ years selling medium- or low-voltage electrical distribution equipment.
• Existing relationships with electrical contractors, consulting engineers, industrial end users, utilities, data centers, or EPC firms.
• Experience selling engineered electrical equipment on large commercial or industrial projects.
• Ability to assemble and present complex project proposals and negotiate multi-million-dollar opportunities.
