Technical Sales Manager

The Technical Sales Manager is responsible for driving sales growth across North America for current and voltage transformers and sensors used in high-, medium-, and low-voltage electrical equipment. This role requires a strong technical foundation in electrical engineering, deep understanding of instrument transformers, and the ability to engage customers as a technical subject‑matter expert rather than a transactional salesperson. The Technical Sales Manager will work closely with private manufacturers of electrical equipment as well as utility and energy producers/distributors.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage the full sales cycle for instrument transformers and related sensing products across high-, medium-, and low-voltage applications.
  • Interpret technical specifications and provide accurate, engineering-based responses to RFPs/RFQs, ensuring alignment with customer requirements.
  • Lead technical discussions with customers, providing guidance on product selection, installation considerations, and performance expectations.
  • Develop quotations and proposals based on detailed technical understanding rather than template-based processes.
  • Drive projects through completion by coordinating with engineering, operations, and customers to ensure proper specification, delivery, and support.
  • Identify new business opportunities and build relationships with two primary customer segments:
  • Private manufacturing companies manufacturing related electrical equipment.
  • Energy and utility organizations involved in the production, distribution, and monitoring of electrical power.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Travel extensively (approximately 60% domestic travel) to customer sites, industry events, and internal meetings.
  • Maintain strong awareness of U.S. electrical production and distribution systems, market trends, and customer challenges.
  • Support internal technical education, helping elevate the sales organization’s understanding of specifications, applications, and engineering principles.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering required;
    Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering strongly preferred.
  • Early-career hands‑on engineering experience in power generation, transformers, instrument transformers, or high‑/medium‑/low‑voltage equipment.
  • Demonstrated transition from engineering into a technical sales or related applications engineering or field service sales role.
  • Deep understanding of electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution networks within the United States.
  • Strong technical comprehension skills with the ability to read, interpret, and respond to complex technical specifications.
  • Ability and willingness to travel up to 60% domestically.
  • Experience selling or supporting instrument transformers, current and voltage sensing products, or related components.
  • Established relationships within OEM electrical equipment manufacturers or U.S. utility companies.
