[Hiring] Consulting Sales Engineer Specialist @ESL POWER SYSTEM INC

Role Description

The Consulting Sales Engineer Specialist is responsible for advancing ESL Power Systems’ technical influence with consulting engineers, MEP firms, port authorities, and owner engineers by embedding electrical safety principles and correct, application-specific compliance into project designs from the earliest stages, while positioning ESL’s solutions as technically sound and appropriate options.

This role operates at the front end of the project lifecycle, engaging stakeholders prior to bids or submittals to shape specifications, system architecture, and safety philosophy in a way that improves project outcomes while positioning ESL as a trusted technical authority. The position serves as an Electrical Safety and Standards Subject Matter Expert (SME) for external engineering partners, focusing on education, influence, and risk reduction—not transactional sales support.

The ideal candidate combines strong electrical engineering fundamentals, broad application exposure across multiple industries, and a demonstrated passion for electrical safety, with the ability to clearly articulate the value of complying to the correct standards for the intended application, not merely generic certification claims.

Qualifications

• Strong technical foundation in electrical power systems with demonstrated understanding of electrical safety principles.
• Experience working with published electrical codes and standards, with the ability to explain why specific standards matter for specific applications, not just that they exist.
• Proven ability to communicate complex technical and safety concepts clearly to consulting engineers and design professionals.
• Comfortable operating early in project lifecycles where information may be incomplete and design direction is still forming.
• Strong planning, prioritization, and time-management skills; proven ability to manage a complex travel calendar and schedule customer engagements 3–6 months in advance.
• Demonstrated ability to proactively plan and coordinate technical engagements—including lunch-and-learns, seminars, and conference participation—by working directly with consulting firms, MEPs, and sales representatives to secure meetings and align schedules 3–6 months in advance.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Willingness to travel 50%.
• Must possess a valid driver’s license and the ability to operate a vehicle for routine travel.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering required.
• 7+ years of experience in electrical engineering, application engineering, consulting engineering, or technical sales roles.
• Demonstrated exposure to multiple electrical applications across different industries.
• Prior experience engaging consulting engineers, specifying engineers, or owner-engineers strongly preferred.
• Experience contributing to or advancing electrical safety culture is a plus.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Bonus potential tied to company performance
• Paid Time Off, holidays, and work-life balance
• Training, development, and recognition programs
• Year-around employee engagement events
