At Peerless Energy Systems, the Outside Sales Engineer role is a mix of technical sales, account management, and business development within the compressed air and industrial utility space. You’d be responsible for a defined territory (Central/Western Nebraska) and work directly with plant managers, maintenance teams, and engineers.

The core of the role revolves around identifying opportunities, evaluating compressed air systems, and recommending solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, and operating costs. That can include compressors, dryers, filtration, piping, and controls.

A typical week is a combination of:
-In-person customer visits (both existing accounts and new prospects)
-Walking systems, identifying inefficiencies or risks, and developing solutions
-Working with our internal team on quoting, system design, and project execution
-Following up on proposals and managing projects through close
-Maintaining long-term relationships and becoming a trusted resource for customers

We’re a full-service distributor, so the role isn’t just transactional - it’s very relationship-driven and consultative, with a strong focus on aftermarket support (service, parts, rentals) in addition to equipment sales.

The territory does involve some windshield time, but it’s balanced with repeat business and established accounts. There’s also a lot of autonomy in how you manage your schedule and grow your territory.
