Outside Sales Engineer
Growing HVAC
Outside Sales Engineer
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Compensation: $100-120k base + bonus
About The Role:
We’re hiring an Outside Sales Engineer to support customer engagement, technical solution development, and sales execution within the commercial HVAC industry. You’ll work directly with clients to understand their specification needs and partner with internal application engineering and drafting teams ahead of selling the solution.
Once the sale is made, everything is handed off to another engineering team responsible for building, testing, and shipping—so you can stay focused on selling. The company has doubled in size over the last three years, and this role exists because we’re growing fast.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Support customers in designing and developing custom HVAC solutions
- Interpret drawings, specifications, and application requirements to create proposals
- Partner with internal teams to translate client needs into buildable solutions
- Conduct presentations and technical conversations with engineering and procurement teams
- Work with external stakeholders: manufacturers reps/distributors, contractors, and MEPs
- Help guide specification compliance, equipment selections, and layout planning
- Provide responsive communication and follow-through to maintain trust and satisfaction
About You:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering required
- 2+ years of experience in outside commercial HVAC sales or 3+ years in sales application engineering (inside sales)
- Proficient with 2D CAD and Microsoft Office (Excel, Word)
- Strong communicator with excellent organizational and presentation skills
- Detail-oriented and resourceful, with the ability to manage multiple projects
- Comfortable collaborating in a team-based, fast-paced environment
- Positive attitude and genuine interest in supporting customer success
What We Offer:
- Competitive pay and full benefits
- 401(k) with company match and immediate vesting
- Open PTO
- Fully paid health, dental, and vision premiums
- Paid holidays and additional time off
- High-energy, team-driven culture focused on professional growth
- Opportunities to work on custom, one-of-a-kind projects
- A role where your technical input directly impacts customer satisfaction and final product delivery
