Field Sales Engineer, Wind Turbine & Industrial Products (AC/DC, electrical components exp. req.) Description

Our client, a global manufacturing organization, is hiring Field Sales Engineers to support each of their Midwest and Eastern territories. You’ll split time between maintaining and expanding existing wind energy accounts (~40-50%) through on-site support, validation, and service cycles, and prospecting new industrial opportunities (~50-60%) by entering manufacturing facilities, identifying applications, and validating product performance through technical discovery. The ideal candidate has 2+ years of technical, consultative sales experience, an engineering mindset, and comfort working around electro-mechanical systems. You must be comfortable in remote wind farms and industrial plants, including climbing wind turbines for installation and product testing, working at heights, and operating in varying environmental conditions. Success requires strong customer-facing skills, adaptability across hands-on and technical audiences, and the patience to manage long sales cycles that may span 12–24 months. This is a great opportunity with a growing, globally supported organization offering long-term selling potential across multiple applications.
