About the role

  • The goal is to make preconstruction 10x faster without sacrificing engineering quality.
  • We recently raised $6.5M from top AI and industrial investors (including Schneider Electric and Meta's Chief AI Scientist).
  • Our team includes engineers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, major LNG and power projects, and leading EPCs.

Responsibilities

  • You will own early revenue in the EPC and owner operator space, with a strong bias toward smaller, faster moving firms.
  • Build and own a Houston based pipeline of EPCs, PMCs, and owner operators
  • Drive new meetings weekly through outbound, warm intros, events, and local networking
  • Deliver product demos that feel credible to engineers and leadership
  • Support RFPs, security questionnaires, procurement steps, and contracting workflows
  • Deep understanding of how EPC preconstruction works (FEL, FEED, early detailed design) and how decisions get made
  • Strong Houston network and the ability to keep building it (events, lunches, coffees, conferences)
  • Proven ability to source meetings and close deals, not just "manage accounts"
  • Experience working with smaller EPCs or regional owner operators and building relationships there

Requirements

  • 5+ years selling into EPCs, industrial services firms, or owner operators (engineering software or technical solutions)
  • You can speak engineer and exec and you know when to go deep vs when to zoom out
  • Comfort selling something new where the category is still forming
  • You are biased toward companies that move fast and don't take 12 months to buy
  • You are the tip of the spear in Houston.

Nice to have

  • Prior role as a sales engineer, solutions engineer, or technical BD in industrial software
  • Familiarity with typical enterprise procurement and security reviews
  • Commission tied directly to closed revenue (simple and transparent)

Benefits

  • Base + meaningful equity + commission
  • Insurance with medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Health and wellness budget up to $150 per month

Company info

  • Translate real workflows into a clear value story and ROI that customers actually believe
