Summary

Application Engineer (Electrical / Industrial Systems)

We're looking for a hands-on Application Engineer who can move quickly from concept to quote to execution. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a technical, customer-facing environment and wants to make a direct impact on complex electrical and industrial projects.

You'll lead pre-sales support, develop quotations, and help deliver solutions across power distribution, automation, and mining-related systems-including E-Houses, substations, switchgear, and control systems.

What You'll Do
  • Own the quotation process from initial request through final submission
  • Translate customer requirements into technical solutions and specifications
  • Develop accurate, competitive proposals for electrical and industrial systems
  • Partner with engineering, sales, and production to deliver customer-ready solutions
  • Support orders through production and provide clear, proactive customer updates
  • Troubleshoot technical and process issues with minimal direction
  • Build strong customer relationships through responsive, consultative support
  • Present technical information clearly-internally and externally
What You Bring
  • 3-5+ years of experience in quotations, application engineering, or technical sales
  • Background in switchgear, substations, E-Houses, industrial power systems, or similar
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and system layouts
  • Experience developing product specs and project-based quotes
  • Strong communication skills and a customer-first mindset
  • Experience with SAP or similar ERP systems (preferred)
  • Associate degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
Why This Role Stands Out
  • High visibility impact - you directly influence revenue and project success
  • Variety of work - no repetitive quoting; complex, custom solutions
  • Collaborative environment - direct access to engineering and leadership
  • Growth opportunity - expand into senior engineering or commercial leadership paths
  • Stability + innovation - established company with advanced industrial technology
Details
  • Work environment: In-person, office setting
  • Full-time with competitive pay + full benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO)
