🏢 About EnergyHub
EnergyHub is a leading provider of distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS), helping utilities integrate and manage clean energy resources like smart thermostats, EV chargers, and batteries. Their mission to empower clean, distributed energy for a sustainable future makes them a key player in the transition to a more resilient and renewable grid. Working here means being at the forefront of climate tech, collaborating with innovative utilities, and making a tangible impact on reducing carbon emissions.
About This Role
As a Sales Engineer at EnergyHub, you'll bridge the gap between technical product capabilities and client business needs, ensuring utilities get the most value from EnergyHub's platform. You'll conduct discovery, design solutions, and drive process improvements using AI and automation, directly influencing client success and the product roadmap. This role is impactful because you'll help utilities modernize their grid operations and accelerate the adoption of distributed energy resources.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve a morning discovery call with a utility client to understand their load management needs, followed by a working session with the Product team to design a solution that integrates with their existing systems. You might spend the afternoon analyzing API documentation or using SQL to pull data for a proposal, and wrap up by drafting process improvements using AI tools to streamline future implementations.
