A Snapshot of Your Day

We are looking for a senior, entrepreneurial sales leader to head our Substation EPC Technical Sales function, driving the capture and commercial success of complex, high-voltage AIS and GIS EPC substation projects. This role leads the technical sales strategy and execution for large opportunities—typically valued from several million to hundreds of millions of dollars—ensuring compelling technical solutions, disciplined bid governance, and customer-focused value propositions. To meet these objectives, the role is structured around three core areas: Large-Project Technical Sales Leadership, Customer/Stakeholder Management & Market Development, and Bid Governance & Cross-Functional Coordination. The role holder sets priorities across the opportunity portfolio, orchestrates multi-discipline capture teams, and serves as the executive technical interface to customers and partners throughout the acquisition phase. Given the focus on large, technically complex substation EPC opportunities, the ideal candidate is a recognized solution and capture leader with deep substation expertise, proven experience leading multi-month sales cycles, and the ability to coach technical sales professionals. Success requires strong executive communication, negotiation and risk/opportunity judgment, and the ability to align engineering, bid management, commercial, and partner organizations to win and deliver profitable growth.
