Algas-SDI is looking for a Sales Engineer to own the technical and commercial front line for our Gas Systems – SNG equipment. You'll be the person customers trust with both the engineering and the deal — sizing equipment, building proposals, negotiating terms, and staying involved through delivery and commissioning. This is a base-salary role with no commission: you're paid for consistent technical credibility and sound judgment, not quota pressure.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the primary technical liaison between customers and Algas-SDI, ensuring requirements are understood internally and commitments are realistic and profitable.
- Assess equipment needs with customers and engineers; define application requirements and scope customization.
- Perform sizing calculations, cost analysis, and build technically accurate proposals and quotations.
- Build customer-facing P&IDs that communicate our technical advantage during the proposal stage.
- Collaborate with the Gas Systems team throughout the sales cycle to align customer needs with available solutions and capacity.
- Support product and application training for customers and channel partners.
- Represent Algas-SDI at trade shows and industry events; feed market and competitive intelligence back into strategy.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical, chemical, petroleum, or related engineering — or equivalent technical experience in industrial equipment or gas systems.
- Solid experience in technical sales, sales engineering, or applications engineering, ideally with industrial or gas systems equipment.
- Comfortable reading P&IDs, technical specs, and equipment datasheets; track record building sizing calculations and technically grounded proposals.
- Strong written and verbal communication across engineering and non-engineering audiences.
- Highly organized and self-directed, able to manage multiple active opportunities at once.
Based in Kent, WA, office-based with regular customer visits. Travel ~30%-50% for trade shows, customer meetings, and field support.
You'll be the technical backbone of how our Gas Systems equipment gets sold and delivered — not a generalist rep reading from a script.
