Business Development Manager, Gears for Gas & Turbine OEMs

Michael Page, Houston, TX, United States


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.
