Business Development Manager, Gears for Gas & Turbine OEMs

The ideal candidate has spent their career selling into turbine OEMs, EPC firms, and turbine package integrators and can influence specifications early in FEED to secure large rotating‑equipment orders. This is a remote role in the US.

Client Details

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. The client is a custom industrial gear and gearbox manufacturer with extensive presence in the Oil & Gas, EPC, Wind, Industrial, Aerospace, and Aftermarket industries.

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
