The Role The objective of the role is to own and support pre-order activity in whatever way the needs of our business and our customers require. This position supports the Services business unit — field and shop service work.

This role serves as the connection point between Outside Sales and the Service Team. This role owns the quotation buildout and lead-time for RFQ response, ensuring deadlines are met and quotations comply with company and specific bid requirements. This role provides coverage for the outside sales reps when they need it — a rep traveling, a time-sensitive customer request, or a spike in volume. On a rep's account, the rep retains the customer relationship, the deal, and its CRM record.

Confirm current manufacturer lead times along with shop and/or field service capacity, before a delivery or service date is proposed, recognizing that quoted lead times move, and communicate changes as they arise. Before an order is placed, reconfirm that pricing, freight, scope, and terms still hold as quoted — and stay on top of follow-up for the open quotes in your pipeline.
