Build and maintain relationships with utility, EPC, and OEM decision-makers across North America and internationally.
Develop and execute go-to-market strategy for new markets, service lines, and private training offerings.
Represent Tesco Automation at industry conferences, trade shows, and training events, including DistribuTECH and PAC World.
Collaborate with engineering leadership to scope proposals, respond to RFPs, and align offerings with client needs.
Track and report on pipeline, opportunities, and business development metrics.
Support marketing initiatives, including website, LinkedIn, and email campaigns, with sales insights and lead generation.
Negotiate contracts and pricing in coordination with company leadership.
Travel primarily within North America, with occasional international travel, to support client meetings and industry events.

What you bring

Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or a related field (preferred).
5+ years of progressive experience in business development, sales, or account management, ideally within power systems, protection & automation, or industrial automation.
Familiarity with substation automation, IEC 61850, or digital protection & control technology (strongly preferred).
Understanding of the utility, EPC, and OEM landscape and how technical services and training are procured within it.
Proven track record generating and closing new business in a technical or engineering services environment.
Experience supporting or contributing to technical training or education program sales.
Eligible to work in North America (U.S. or Canada citizenship or permanent residency preferred).
Willingness to travel (estimated 20-40%, mostly within North America).
