Summary

The Strategic Engineering Engagement Manager is responsible for creating specification preference for SENS solutions throughout North America's leading engineering firms, consulting engineers, EPCs, and mission-critical design organizations. Rather than selling projects one at a time, this individual will influence the firms and engineering professionals responsible for designing critical power systems for hyperscale data centers, healthcare facilities, utility infrastructure, industrial facilities, and other mission-critical applications. Success in this role means SENS products become the preferred, or specified, solution before projects ever reach procurement. This is a highly strategic, relationship-driven role focused on long-term market development, technical influence, and thought leadership.
