Medical Gas Systems Design and Sales Consultant

Position Summary

The Medical Gas Systems Design and Sales Consultant drives new asset deployment and medical gas equipment sales into new construction and major renovation projects across the assigned territory. This role owns the front end of the project: finding opportunities early, influencing the basis of design, developing and reviewing bid specifications, and converting that design influence into awarded medical gas pipeline and source equipment packages.

This position is the face of MTA to contractors, engineers, and facilities in the territory. It is remote and field-based and works hand in hand with an assigned Project Manager who handles estimating, take-offs, and back-office project administration. The Consultant owns the relationship, the specification, and the sale; the Project Manager owns the estimate and the execution support behind it.
