Job Description

The role of a Sales Engineer at AMS is to deeply understand our highly technical service and technology solutions and communicate their value clearly to nuclear power plant customers. Our team is not simply selling a product, but building trusted, long-term, collaborative partnerships that help plants operate safely, efficiently, and reliably.

• Serve as the technical bridge between customers and internal teams, helping define project scopes, gather requirements, and translate customer needs into clear proposals that are mapped to AMS core competencies. 
• Own day-to-day customer relationships through calls, emails, follow-ups, and proactive account management. 
• Develop and deliver compelling sales and technical presentations that clearly communicate AMS capabilities and demonstrate solution value. 
• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to develop proposals and quotes, reviewing procedures and ensuring accuracy in scope, assumptions, and pricing. 
• Advance sales opportunities through the pipeline by identifying risks and gaps, coordinating next steps, and partnering with the Sales and Business Development team on new business.

• Shows adaptability, humility, and a willingness to “do what it takes,” from detailed preparation and follow-up to on-site plant visits and presentations. 
• Exhibits a love of learning through ongoing professional growth and continuous engagement with new technologies, industry practices, and internal training. 

Required Qualifications 

• Holds a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, ideally in engineering, another technical discipline, or a closely related field. 
• Demonstrates the ability to learn and communicate complex technical concepts with clarity and credibility to both internal teams and external clients. 
• Brings a track record of reliability, integrity, and professionalism, with evidence of long-term commitment and progression in prior roles. 
• Is willing and able to travel 6–8 times per year (approximately four days per trip) for field services testing at nuclear power plants and for business development activities. 
• Complies with applicable company policies, quality and safety standards, and all administrative directives. 
• Shows a strong work ethic, a genuine interest in helping customers solve problems, a collaborative spirit toward colleagues and partners, and a desire to contribute to the long-term success and reputation of the company. 
• This position involves work under U.S. Department of Energy contracts and requires access to nuclear facilities. As a result, U.S. citizenship is required to meet federal compliance and security-access regulations.
