## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Technology, or a related field - or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience (see below)
 * Proven experience in technical sales, commercial proposals, or application engineering within industrial controls, power generation, or a related technical domain
 * Demonstrated ability to read and interpret technical specifications, customer drawings, and contractual terms and conditions
 * Strong oral and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical and commercial content to diverse stakeholder audiences

Preferred

 * Experience with industrial control systems (e.g., distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or SCADA - supervisory control and data acquisition)
 * Familiarity with project risk management frameworks and commercial review processes
 * Experience managing tender schedules and multi-stakeholder bid processes

## Description

* Lead end-to-end proposal development for core and complex industrial control system offerings - from reviewing customer specifications, requests for proposals (RFPs), and requests for quotations (RFQs) to submitting fully costed, technically tailored bids on time.
 * Own deal financials and risk management , including technical, execution, and commercial risk assessment within the inquiry-to-order (ITO) process - and present deals to the Commercial Review Board (CRB) for approval.
 * Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, channel partners, and internal stakeholders throughout the proposal lifecycle, providing application engineering guidance and driving alignment across teams.
 * Develop competitive pricing and deal strategy in partnership with the sales and pricing teams, leveraging quoting tools, technical libraries, hardware configurations, and design standards to build differentiated solutions.
 * Coordinate cross-functionally with supply chain, third-party providers, and execution teams - including managing the handover from the ITO phase to the order-to-remittance (OTR) phase upon contract signature.
 * Contribute to continuous improvement of commercial processes, proposal templates, and application guides - and actively track performance against key commercial metrics including proposal quality, cycle time, and on-time delivery.

Who You Are

You're a technically grounded problem-solver who thrives in a fast-moving, deal-driven environment. You bring a strong foundation in industrial controls - and you're equally comfortable in a pricing conversation as you are reviewing a system architecture. You know how to move a deal forward, keep stakeholders aligned, and deliver a compelling proposal under pressure.
