Job Title

A highly technical, relationship-driven commercial leader is needed to expand sales of gearboxes and rotating equipment into gas turbine packages, data-center microgrids, and industrial on-site power projects.

Job Description

Drive business development for rotating equipment (gearboxes, compressors, auxiliary drives, pumps, lube oil systems) used in gas turbine and on-site power systems. Navigate 24-36 month EPC project cycles and track projects from FEED through procurement. Build account penetration within turbine OEMs, turbine packagers, EPC engineering groups, and rotating-equipment decision makers. Influence specifications and vendor lists to position rotating-equipment packages early in design. Manage large project pursuit cycles, typically $2M-$20M in equipment value. Maintain a pipeline across data-center power, industrial microgrids, simple-cycle/combined-cycle plants, and aeroderivative turbine projects.

MPI does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, or based on an individual's status in any group or class protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. MPI encourages applications from minorities, women, the disabled, protected veterans, and all other qualified applicants.

The Successful Applicant

A successful Sales professional should have:

  • 10-20 years of experience in turbomachinery, power generation, or EPC-driven rotating equipment sales.

Technical Requirements

  • Turbine plant architecture (aeroderivative turbines, simple-cycle, combined-cycle plants, data-center microgrids)
  • Rotating equipment (gearboxes, compressors, pumps, auxiliary drives, lube oil systems)
  • Procurement and project development (FEED process, EPC approved vendor lists, long-lead equipment cycles, packager workflows)

Relationship Network

  • The ideal hire has established relationships with turbine OEM package engineers, EPC rotating-equipment engineers and procurement managers, and turbine package integrators or modular plant builders. If a candidate cannot name 10 engineers they could call tomorrow, they are not a fit.

Sales Skill Profile

  • Project-development oriented, not transactional
  • Ability to influence engineering specifications
  • Strong with long-cycle pursuit strategy
  • Credible working with engineering, plant operators, and technical stakeholders

What's on Offer

  • Base salary: $140K-$175K, pending experience.
  • Bonus: 30-60%+
  • OTE: $200K-$300K+
  • Comprehensive health benefits package.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer contributions.
  • Generous paid time off (PTO) policy.
  • A supportive and collaborative work environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to advance your career in the Turbine and Energy industry while enjoying competitive compensation and benefits. Apply today to take the next step in your professional journey!
