JOB DETAILS
Job Title: Technical Sales Consultant
Location: Remote
Work Shift: Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Working Hours: Full-time; 40 hours per week
Job Description
We are seeking a technically strong, consultative Technical Sales Consultant to support business development at an established Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance consulting firm serving industrial clients across California.
This is not a high-pressure sales role. Instead, it is focused on building credibility, understanding technical environments, and providing clear, valuable recommendations to facility managers, engineers, and operations leaders.
While this role supports California-based clients, prior California regulatory experience is not required. We are looking for candidates with a solid engineering foundation, familiarity with general EHS, ISO, quality, or safety systems, and the ability to learn new regulatory frameworks over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct discovery calls to understand client facilities, operations, and general compliance needs
- Recommend appropriate consulting services based on a genuine needs assessment
- Translate technical and regulatory topics into clear, client-friendly language
- Prepare detailed proposals outlining the scope of work, deliverables, and value
- Research environmental, health, and safety regulations relevant to client situations
- Communicate with regulatory bodies or agencies when clarification is needed
- Build long-term relationships with clients and identify additional compliance support opportunities
- Respond to inbound inquiries and follow up with prospective clients
- Collaborate with internal consultants and project managers to ensure smooth client handoff and delivery
- Continuously learn and develop expertise in California-specific EHS regulations and requirements
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Environmental, Chemical, Industrial, Civil, or related technical field)
- 5 to 10 years of experience in engineering, environmental compliance, industrial operations, technical consulting, or project management
- Foundational understanding of EHS, safety, environmental systems, ISO standards, or quality/compliance frameworks
- Strong ability to understand technical documents and industrial processes
- Experience writing proposals, scopes of work, or technical documentation
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
- Comfortable learning complex technical and regulatory subject matter independently
- Able to communicate professionally with US-based clients
Nice to Have
- Experience in a client-facing or consultative technical role
- Background in environmental compliance, EHS, or regulatory consulting
- Familiarity with ISO standards, safety systems, or quality management frameworks
- Experience working with industrial or manufacturing clients
- Experience working remotely with US-based teams or clients
Personal Attributes
- Curious and eager to learn complex regulatory and technical subjects
- Strong problem-solver who enjoys breaking down technical challenges
- Professional and confident communicator with a consultative approach
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote setup
- Detail-oriented with a structured, methodical work style
Why Join?
- Work with a well-established EHS consulting firm serving diverse industrial clients
- Gain exposure to a wide range of industries and compliance challenges
- Develop deep expertise in US and California EHS regulations over time
- Join a collaborative, knowledge-driven team environment
- Play a meaningful role in helping businesses improve safety and environmental compliance
Benefits
- 10 days paid time off annually
- 5 sick days annually
