About the Role

Sky Climber is looking for a growth-minded Permanent Installation Sales Engineer to help expand our Permanent Installation business across assigned territories. This is a technical, consultative sales role for someone who can understand customer challenges, evaluate building access applications, and position Sky Climber’s engineered façade access solutions as the smarter, safer, and higher-value choice.

The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation, commercial curiosity, and the drive to win by creating better solutions—not simply by competing on price. You will work with contractors, architects, engineers, consultants, property managers, and building owners to understand project requirements, compare options, explain tradeoffs, and deliver proposals that clearly communicate Sky Climber’s value versus competitive alternatives.

 

This role reports directly to the Permanent Installation Business Unit Manager.

• Develop clear, professional proposals and value-based comparisons that help customers understand why Sky Climber’s solution is the best fit for their project

• Lead technical and commercial scope clarification, including specification review, alternates, exclusions, pricing assumptions, and solution tradeoffs to support successful project execution

• Conduct product presentations, technical demonstrations, and customer training that translate product features into customer benefits, risk reduction, lifecycle value, and improved project outcomes

• Support installation and inspection activities when necessary

• Manage bid qualification paperwork and project documentation requirements

• Follow up on contracts, purchase orders, project approvals, and customer communications

• Represent Sky Climber at industry events, trade associations, customer meetings, and networking functions

• Support implementation of company marketing and sales initiatives

• Prepare for and participate in regular sales meetings and business reviews

• Maintain accurate sales activity reporting and pipeline management

• Use structured problem-solving to address technical questions, objections, competitive threats, and customer concerns throughout the sales process

• Increase win rate by offering better engineered solutions, responsive technical support, disciplined follow-up, and differentiated product offerings versus competition

• Provide timely verbal and written updates to sales leadership and senior management

• Consistently meet or exceed assigned sales goals and revenue objectives

• Perform additional responsibilities and special projects as assigned
