Subcontractor Project Manager Jobs in Wenatchee, WA

Electric Power Sales Representative - Central Washington
Sell Caterpillar Generators, Standby Power & Prime Power Systems
N C Power Systems | Central , WA (Based out of Wenatchee, Yakima, or Quincy)
When critical infrastructure and business operations require reliable power, the right generator system matters.
N C Power Systems is looking for a Power Generation Sales Representative based in Central Washington. This is a technical, consultative sales role focused on helping customers identify, configure, quote, and purchase Caterpillar standby and prime power solutions, including large-capacity generators and related emergency power equipment.
This is not electrical service sales. This is not selling electricity. This is not a traditional transactional sales role.
This is a role for someone who enjoys building relationships, understanding customer needs, visiting job sites, reviewing specifications, coordinating with technical teams, and developing power generation solutions that help customers keep their operations running.
About the opportunity
In this role, you will sell emergency and prime power solutions to end users, electrical contractors, and organizations that depend on reliable power.
You will spend time in the field meeting with customers, visiting job sites, understanding project requirements, and identifying how N C Power Systems can support the customer's power generation needs. You will also work closely with vendors, subcontractors, and internal team members to develop accurate, complete, and competitive proposals.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the combination of:

• Technical solution selling
• Relationship building
• Field visits and customer interaction
• Project specifications and quoting
• Contractor and end-user relationships
• Critical infrastructure and backup power systems
• Independent sales activity with strong internal technical support

What You'll Be Selling
You will focus on power generation solutions, including:

Work with Plans, Specifications, and Active Projects

• Review site plans, electrical drawings, and project specifications
• Identify projects involving generators, transfer switches, and paralleling switchgear
• Develop bidder lists to ensure interested contractors receive proposals
• Coordinate with internal engineering and service teams to support the customer solution

Continuous Training the Industry

• Can coordinate details across customers, vendors, engineering, service, and project teams
• Are motivated by both relationship building and closing business
• Want to sell something tangible, important, and mission-critical

What Makes This Role Different
This is a sales role, but it is not just about making calls and closing deals.
You are helping customers solve real power reliability problems. These may involve critical facilities, remote operations, emergency backup needs, construction projects, or large equipment applications where downtime is costly and reliability matters.
You will be part salesperson, part relationship builder, part project coordinator, and part solution guide.
