Come join Powerex, an industry leading provider of oil free compressed air and vacuum technology, where engineering excellence, innovation, and customer impact drive everything we do.

WHO WE ARE:

SUMMARY:
Powerex is looking for a business development manager dedicated to growing the Data Center power generation, selective catalytic reduction, and other key markets.

He/she will involve other members of the team including engineering, operations, management, quality, inside/outside sales, and customer service.

Other applications could include gas generation, methane abatement pneumatics, laboratory analysis, vacuum picking, thermoforming, food/beverage applications, and packaging. The position will cover the US and Canada, but due to the proximity of manufacturers and data centers, the ideal candidate would be located near an international or major airport for travel efficiency.
