A Technical Sales Role for Engineers Who Can Close
Data centers. Power grids. Mass transit systems. The infrastructure that keeps the modern world running depends on components engineered right the first time. For 130 years Post Glover Resistors has been the company that gets the call for custom solutions.
This is a desk-based inside sales position not a pure engineering or applications-support role. We need someone who can read a one-line diagram understand what the customer is asking for and work with our Engineering team to shape it into a solution then build the customer relationship that turns a quote into an order. Expect a high volume of email phone calls and a steady flow of quotes and orders moving through different stages at once. Staying organized isnt optional here its the job.
If you want to sit purely on the technical side with no customer-facing responsibility this isnt that role. If you want to combine solid technical literacy with the satisfaction of building relationships and closing business keep reading.
What Youll Actually Do
- Respond to RFQs for custom resistor products (grounding resistors dynamic braking resistors motor control resistors harmonic filters) with technically sound competitively priced proposals
- Read customer electrical schematics one-line diagrams and application requirements partnering with Engineering to shape solutions that meet spec and code
- Apply pricing strategy that reflects technical complexity and competitive conditions while protecting margin
- Build genuine lasting relationships with manufacturer representatives consulting engineers OEMs and distributors becoming their go-to point of contact
- Manage a high volume of phone and email communication with customers reps and internal teams staying responsive without letting anything slip
- Juggle multiple quotes and orders simultaneously each at a different stage keeping track of whats outstanding whats pending and what needs follow-up
- Proactively follow up on open quotations rather than waiting for customers to come back to you
- Own the order lifecycle from quotation through delivery coordinating with Engineering Manufacturing and Planning so customers get accurate proactive status updates
- Monitor competitor capabilities and market trends to inform how you position Post Glovers solutions
Who Thrives in This Role
- You have a BSEE BSEET or related technical degree (BSEE strongly preferred). New grads with strong technical coursework or relevant internships are encouraged to apply.
- 2 years of electrical industry application and sales experience is preferred but strong technical aptitude and genuine relationship-building instincts matter more than years on paper
- You understand power systems fundamentals: switchgear transformers protective relaying motor control VFDs and power distribution and you can read a relay coordination study without help
- You can hold two things in your head at once: enough technical understanding to speak the customers language and the relationship instincts that get the order across the finish line
- Youre genuinely energized by talking to customers not just tolerating it. This role rewards people who build trust and rapport not just people who can spec a product
- Youre highly organized and comfortable managing a busy inbox and a long list of open items without letting things fall through the cracks
- Familiarity with NEC IEEE and UL standards
- Proficient in Microsoft Office; able to learn ERP systems for order management
