About the Role

The Generator Sales Executive (Mid-West Chicago) is a strategic role designed to aggressively grow profitable sales of Rehlko Power System products, including Gensets, automatic transfer switches, and paralleling switchgear. You will own market and account planning activities, working both with and without distributors to drive success across all target accounts and projects.

In this position, you will serve as a trusted advisor to EPC firms, consulting engineers, and other specifying entities. Your day-to-day involves developing "pull" marketing approaches to drive qualified leads, guiding clients through the initial design stage, and assisting with project requirements, drawings, and specifications. You will navigate the entire value chain—from end-users to procurement and contractors—ensuring that technical expertise aligns with business goals to close profitable deals.

This role is based in Chicago (Mid-West US) with a multi-state territory requiring 25-35% travel. Relocation support is available for qualified candidates.
