Inside Sales Engineer Sr

Our Position

Working at Ruhrpumpen means being part of a team that values innovation, dynamism, and creativity. Join our team, experience making a difference, and build your career!

The Inside Sales Engineer (ISE) is an essential part of the selling process. The ISE provides a competitive quotation to our customer and, via collaboration with an Outside Sales Engineer (OSE…the sales engineer who interacts directly with our customer), ensures the quotation becomes an order. The ISE position has similar duties to the Applications Engineer (AE) industry position, but the ISE is heavily involved in selling strategy, hence the position title differentiation. The ISE is the ultimate owner of the quotation process, as well as the owner of the quotation we provide to the customer. The ISE must have a strong foundational knowledge of Ruhrpumpen (RP) products, sales methodologies, and applications engineering processes.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Coordinate with both internal RP teams (OSE, product line teams, etc.) and external contacts such as key component sub-vendors.

  Properly use quotation software tools, reference resources, & follow detailed RP processes.

  Work closely with sub-vendors and properly qualify (both commercially and technically) sub-vendor offers to ensure their offering is commercially and technically in line with RP needs for our customer.

• Understand the customer’s commercial requirements (terms and conditions, etc.) and ensure the RP quotation meets the commercial as well as technical needs of the customer.

• Handle multiple tasks and projects at any time. ISE will have quotation tasks in various stages of quotation life (initial quotation work, ongoing customer clarification work, order handoff to RP factories for project execution, etc.).

• Participate in project meetings (at RP or customer location) to define the technical and commercial aspects that govern a customer’s project needs.

•  

  Qualifications

  Degree in Engineering 

  4-5+ years of engineered sales and/or applications experience preferred

  Strong communication skills are essential as ISE will communicate with persons located in many areas globally (verbal and written communications).

  English is the official language of RP, so one must be proficient in speaking/reading/writing English.

  Experience/knowledge of engineered equipment, such as industrial/rotating equipment/tools, would also be considered for this role as qualifications (i.e., valves, compressors, pipes, sealing equipment, drivers, machinery, etc.).

  Desired working knowledge of hydraulics, mechanics, pumps (applications, sizing, mechanical operation), and pump design standards (API, HI, ANSI, DIN, etc.).

At Ruhrpumpen, we value every employee, recognizing that each person contributes to our success through their position. We are one team! … Join our growing team!
