• Developing and presenting technical sales proposals that clearly define the scope of work, equipment selection, and anticipated performance.
• Collaborating with the sales team to ensure technical alignment and cost-effectiveness of solutions proposed to clients.

Working Conditions: The Technical Sales and Applications Manager is primarily a sales and training position based in a corporate or regional office environment, with frequent interaction—both virtual and in person—with Equipment Support Services, Water & Energy Services personnel, and clients. This is a hybrid role performed in an office or remote setting with frequent site visits to client facilities, which can include steam boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, industrial production facilities, health care facilities, and other technical or regulated environments.

This position may require occasional availability outside of standard business hours to address urgent operational issues, support Water & Energy Services personnel, or ensure client satisfaction. Such support may be provided via phone, email, or in person.

Periodic travel will be required, which may include visits to GWT branch locations, key client sites, or industry events. Some overnight travel should be expected, with frequency depending on business needs, geographic coverage, and the scope of active initiatives.

Physical Requirements: The Technical Sales and Applications Manager role is a hybrid between office or remote work and visits to client facilities, GWT branch locations, or operational sites. These visits can involve navigating industrial and mechanical environments such as boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, industrial production facilities, and health care facilities. The position may require walking, standing, or moving through such environments for extended periods, as well as carrying a laptop, documents, or other work materials. While the role is not routinely physically demanding, the Manager should be able to safely lift and carry items up to 50lbs when visiting sites or supporting operational needs. The ability to safely navigate areas with uneven surfaces, stairs, and tight spaces is essential when conducting site visits or inspections.
