Role:
As an Eplan Presales Consultant, you will serve as the crucial technical engine of the sales organization, leveraging both technical and creative skills to partner directly with Account Managers to win new business and expand existing accounts. In this dynamic, pre-sales focused role, you will act as a true "trusted advisor," moving beyond pure engineering to uncover customer business challenges and demonstrate measurable value.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Lead deep-dive discovery sessions to understand prospect workflows, identify technical operational improvements, and map business challenges to high-value Eplan solutions.
  • Design and deliver highly tailored, value-based product demonstrations and Proof of Concepts (POCs) that focus on ROI and business outcomes rather than simple feature walkthroughs.
  • Serve as the pre-sales “trusted advisor” and industry expert, handling technical objections and building confidence with both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Present at trade shows, webinars, and local markets to increase brand awareness, highlight Eplan’s capabilities, and generate sales pipeline.

Qualifications:
  • 3–5+ years of experience in a technical presale role, solutions consulting, or sales engineering role within the B2B software space (preferably CAD, ECAD, PLM, or industrial automation).
  • OR 5–8+ years of direct industry experience in electrical design/engineering, with a demonstrated aptitude towards a customer-facing, technical sales role.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).
  • Domain Knowledge: Hands-on experience with ECAD/CAE software (such as Eplan, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, etc.) for electrical panel or substation design is highly preferred.
  • Value Selling: Proven ability to lead deep-dive discovery sessions, uncover business challenges, and deliver compelling, ROI-focused software demonstrations to both technical users and C-level executives.
  • Technical Ecosystem: Solid understanding of enterprise software environments, including how engineering tools integrate with broader business systems (e.g., PLM, ERP, PDM).
  • Soft Skills: Outstanding presentation, storytelling, and relationship-building skills, with a collaborative mindset for working alongside Account Managers and regional sales teams.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
