What will you do?

This isn't about reacting to a demand and simple transactional sales. It's about creating bold, technological solutions for unique customer challenges, in collaboration with our engineers and our different solution sales experts. Every day, you'll tackle a different challenge that ultimately brings us all closer to smarter homes, cities, facilities and grids. You'll be on the front lines of deploying the electrical infrastructure of the future. It involves listening to your customers and offering solutions that serve their long-term needs.

Every project and customer is different. Our customers have all kinds of life-altering challenges to solve. One customer might have a new wing of their hospital they need to supply with reliable and efficient power. Another customer might have a critical data centre they operate for an emergency response agency. Our customers range across the spectrum of global commerce: residential and commercial buildings, data centres, industrial sites, and infrastructure. Across all of it, we make electricity greener, smarter, and more reliable.

We are looking for a seller that will want to add value in everything they do, trigger action and have some control on his outcome and performance.

Learning every day is key. Our technology matures and our customers' needs change all the time. We work at the vanguard of the new energy landscape, which is getting more decentralized, digitalized, and decarbonized by the day. It's an exciting space that's taking on one of the biggest societal challenges of our time: sustainability. If you have an intellectual passion to continue learning, you'll fit right in.
