Title: Strategic Account Executive, Engineering and Construction

Team Context

The AI Ecosystem Team develops strategic relationships with market participants that influence how AI infrastructure is conceived, architected, integrated, and deployed. The team engages upstream of individual transactions and across engineering and construction planning to create demand visibility, architectural alignment, project-delivery alignment, partner advocacy, and qualified opportunity pull-through.

·    Influence infrastructure decisions before formal procurement begins.

·    Build the relationships that give Bloom’s engineering, technical support, and execution functions a seat at the design and construction-planning table.

·    Create qualified opportunities for customer-account teams.

·    Operate in parallel with customer-account teams, which retain ownership of end-customer relationships, commercial opportunities, contracts, and deployment execution.

Position Summary

Bloom Energy is seeking a Strategic Account Executive, Engineering and Construction to develop strategic relationships with the consulting, design, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms and general contractors (GCs) that shape how AI data centers are powered and delivered. The target segment includes architecture and engineering (A&E) practices, owner’s engineers, independent MEP and electrical design consultants, EPC firms, construction managers, and GCs that influence technology selection, basis-of-design decisions, procurement, constructability, and project delivery.

Engagement must reflect each firm’s role. Consulting engineers and other independent design advisors require vendor-neutral technical education and design support to evaluate Bloom on merit. EPCs and GCs also influence procurement, construction planning, integration, and delivery; this role builds relationships across those functions to position Bloom as a viable project solution and identify opportunities for collaboration, coordinated with the appropriate customer-account team.

Bloom operates a matrixed selling model. This is a strategic account relationship and orchestration role: the Strategic Account Executive opens and owns the right senior and working-level relationships across engineering and construction firms, then mobilizes Bloom’s engineering, product, technical support, and execution functions to advance design acceptance, project readiness, and qualified opportunity pull-through. Success is measured by the depth of account engagement, influence on project decisions, and qualified opportunities enabled—not by independently authoring engineering deliverables or taking ownership of end-customer contracts and deployment execution.

Strategic Engineering and Construction Account Leadership

·    Develop and lead account plans for assigned consulting, design, engineering, EPC, and GC accounts at the national, regional, and key-office level.

·    Build and own relationships with principals, partners, chief engineers, discipline leads, technical directors, procurement leaders, preconstruction executives, and construction and project-delivery leaders.

·    Map each firm’s organization, client base, project pipeline, design standards, specification practices, procurement approach, delivery model, and stakeholders who influence technology selection and execution.

·    Identify where Bloom technical and execution resources should engage, and set the strategy for advancing design acceptance, procurement readiness, and construction integration.

Orchestrating Bloom Technical Engagement

·    Connect consulting engineers, EPCs, and GCs with the right Bloom engineering, product, and execution experts, and broker sustained engagement tailored to each account’s role.

·    Align and prioritize Bloom’s applications, systems, field-engineering, and execution support with the accounts and projects offering the greatest design and delivery influence.

·    Frame technical and delivery questions, coordinate joint working sessions, and ensure Bloom’s support functions have the project context to be effective.

·    Keep engagements moving by removing barriers, aligning internal resources, and ensuring follow-through, rather than personally producing engineering deliverables or managing construction execution.

Enabling Bases of Design and Specification

·    Position Bloom’s engineering support functions to develop the specification language, single-line references, and interconnection details that consulting and EPC engineers evaluate and adopt.

·    Facilitate access to load studies, redundancy and resiliency modeling, site-planning support, and constructability reviews delivered by Bloom’s technical and execution teams.

·    Champion inclusion of Bloom as a specified or approved basis-of-design or alternate within engineering firms’ master specifications and design standards, and support EPC and GC evaluation of project requirements.

·    Serve as the trusted account relationship owner who makes it easy for engineering and construction stakeholders to reach and rely on Bloom’s technical expertise.

Enabling Reference Architectures and Technical Validation

·    Mobilize Bloom engineering and product teams to develop reference architectures, design templates, and application guides for onsite power in AI data centers.

·    Ensure engineers receive the performance data, testing evidence, code-compliance documentation, and third-party validation they need to specify with confidence.

·    Drive inclusion of Bloom within firm-standard design libraries, calculation tools, and specification templates.

·    Coordinate Bloom support for permitting, code compliance, electrical integration, construction interfaces, commissioning, and long-term serviceability with consulting engineers, EPCs, and GCs.

Construction, Procurement, and Delivery Alignment

·         Engage EPC and GC preconstruction, estimating, procurement, and project-delivery teams early to understand project requirements, delivery models, schedules, and decision criteria.

·         Coordinate Bloom technical and execution resources to address site readiness, installation scope, equipment interfaces, construction sequencing, commissioning requirements, and responsibility boundaries.

·         Surface procurement requirements, schedule dependencies, constructability concerns, and delivery risks to the appropriate Bloom customer-account and execution teams.

·         Develop EPC and GC account relationships that support repeat project opportunities and practical collaboration; coordinate project-specific commercial terms, pricing, and commitments through the teams authorized to own them.

Technical Education and Industry Advocacy

·    Organize technical education for consulting engineers, EPCs, and GCs, including accredited PDH/AIA sessions where applicable and project-focused workshops delivered with Bloom technical and execution experts.

·    Build a network of informed advocates across engineering, procurement, preconstruction, and project-delivery functions who can evaluate and support Bloom within their firms and on their projects.

·    Represent Bloom in technical forums, industry standards bodies, and engineering and construction associations relevant to data center power.

·    Bring emerging Bloom capabilities to engineering and construction stakeholders by pairing the right message with the right Bloom technical or execution expert.

Opportunity Development and Internal Coordination

·    Identify projects and opportunities early through consulting-engineer, EPC, and GC relationships and visibility into design, preconstruction, and procurement activity.

·    Route qualified opportunities, design intelligence, procurement insights, and construction-planning requirements to the appropriate Bloom customer-account and execution teams.

·    Support technical qualification, solution positioning, specification defense, and EPC or GC procurement evaluation in coordination with the customer-account team.

·    Coordinate across Bloom AI Developer, AI Platform, customer-account, product, engineering, finance, legal, and execution teams to align resources behind the relationship strategy.

Engagement Principles and Independence

Engagement must respect each account’s responsibilities to its clients. Consulting engineers are independent design authorities; influence them through technical credibility, education, and design support. EPC and GC engagement may also include procurement and delivery collaboration, with clear account ownership, responsibility boundaries, and appropriate commercial governance.

·    Lead design-advisory engagement with technical merit, data, and Bloom engineering support rather than commercial incentives.

·    Avoid arrangements that could compromise, or appear to compromise, an engineer’s professional independence or duty to their client.

·    Position Bloom to be specified on merit, alongside clearly defined alternates, consistent with open and fair specification practice.

·    Keep end-customer commercial ownership with customer-account teams. Coordinate any EPC or GC commercial collaboration with the appropriate customer-account, legal, finance, and execution teams, separate from independent design-advisory engagement.

Required Qualifications

·    10 or more years in strategic account management, technical sales, engineering, construction, procurement, specification development, or business development within data centers, critical facilities, or electrical infrastructure.

·    Demonstrated success building trusted relationships with engineering and construction organizations, including consulting engineers, A&E firms, owner’s engineers, EPCs, or GCs.

·    Proven ability to orchestrate technical and execution resources in a matrixed environment to influence design standards, specifications, basis-of-design decisions, procurement evaluation, or project-delivery planning.

·    Sufficient fluency in data center power distribution, electrical systems, redundancy and resiliency, site design, and construction interfaces to engage credibly and direct expert resources effectively.

·    Ability to translate technical concepts into clear design and business value, and to connect the right people to advance an opportunity.

·    Strong strategic account-planning, stakeholder-mapping, executive-communication, and cross-functional leadership capabilities, with an understanding of EPC and GC preconstruction, procurement, and delivery processes.

·    Willingness and ability to travel as required.

Preferred Qualifications

·    Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent engineering credential.

·    Relationships within leading MEP, electrical, A&E, EPC, owner’s-engineering, or GC organizations serving data centers.

·    Experience influencing master specifications, design standards, basis-of-design documents, or EPC and GC procurement and construction-planning decisions in a matrixed sales or advisory model.

·    Familiarity with AI data center architecture, high-density deployment, and onsite generation, microgrids, distributed energy, or fuel-cell systems.

·    Experience coordinating continuing-education or PDH/AIA-accredited technical programs, or technical and constructability workshops for EPC and GC teams.

·    Bachelor’s degree in electrical or mechanical engineering; advanced technical degree or MBA preferred.
