This is a hands-on, strategic hunter role for an experienced industry professional who understands how oil-and-gas companies buy equipment, evaluate service providers, manage field operations, and make capital and operating decisions.

• Coordinate with engineering, manufacturing, operations, logistics, and finance to confirm technical feasibility, equipment availability, lead times, cost, and risk.

Sales Execution & Commercial Management

• Own the complete sales cycle from initial contact through qualification, solution development, proposal, negotiation, contract award, and handoff.

• Develop proposals, pricing inputs, and business cases, and negotiate commercial terms within approved authority.

• Protect revenue, margin, risk position, and long-term customer value throughout the sales process.

• Pursue both equipment and recurring-revenue opportunities, including rentals, service agreements, monitoring, maintenance, and spare parts.

• Maintain accurate opportunity documentation, close plans, and next actions in the CRM.

• Ensure awarded opportunities transition smoothly to operations and project teams.

Market Intelligence & Customer Partnership

• Maintain current knowledge of Texas oil-and-gas activity, basin economics, drilling and production trends, midstream infrastructure, and competitor activity.

• Provide leadership with actionable market intelligence and recommendations on target accounts and go-to-market strategies.

• Represent the organization at industry events, customer meetings, and technical forums.

• Build long-term relationships with customers and serve as a credible and visible representative within the market.

Internal Collaboration & Performance Management

• Partner with senior leadership on target-account strategy, pipeline reviews, pricing decisions, and go/no-go decisions.

• Work with engineering, manufacturing, operations, and logistics to ensure customer feedback informs product development and commercial commitments are executable.

• Deliver regular pipeline, forecast, activity, and revenue updates to leadership.

• Track performance against new-revenue, margin, pipeline, and customer-retention objectives.

• Use CRM and sales analytics to prioritize accounts, maintain accurate records, and proactively address pipeline gaps.
