About the role

As a Capital Equipment Sales Engineer at Delval Equipment, you will drive new business growth across the Delaware/Maryland or DC/NOVA territory by serving as a trusted technical resource for commercial and industrial boiler systems, hydronic equipment, controls, and related plant equipment. This role is built for someone who can quickly establish technical credibility, understand complex customer needs, manage a long and often highly technical sales cycle, and build lasting relationships with consulting engineers, contractors, facility managers, owners, and other key decision-makers. We are hiring for our Sykesville, MD location. Why Delval? Become an Expert. You'll develop deep knowledge of boiler systems, hydronic equipment, and combustion controls, backed by one of the most experienced technical teams in the industry. Solve Real Problems. Every customer project is different. The work requires genuine technical curiosity and the ability to translate complex system requirements into solutions that actually get specified and sold. Build a Long-Term Career. Delval invests in the people who invest in the work — through structured training, manufacturer programs, and mentorship from experienced colleagues. Work With a Team That Has Your Back. You'll collaborate closely with internal engineering and service teams who are embedded in the same markets you're building.

What You'll Do: Identify, pursue, and close new business opportunities for steam boilers, hydronic systems, and commercial hot water equipment. Develop and maintain a strong sales pipeline through proactive prospecting, customer outreach, networking, marketing activities, and ongoing relationship development. Build and maintain a strong working knowledge of Delval's boiler and mechanical equipment product lines, including any newly added products. Conduct technical sales presentations and provide technical support to consulting engineers, contractors, facility managers, and end users. Perform site surveys and assessments to determine equipment requirements and develop accurate proposals. Assist MEP Engineers with the design, selection, and implementation of steam and hydronic boiler systems. Coordinate with internal engineering teams to review project specifications and drawings and develop accurate, technically appropriate, and competitive system solutions and proposals. Provide technical guidance during installation and commissioning phases. Remain engaged throughout the sales and project lifecycle, coordinating customer needs from equipment selection and order handoff through delivery, startup, and resolution of commercial or technical concerns. Build and maintain long-term relationships with engineers, contractors, and customers. Represent Delval at trade shows, industry events, and professional associations.

What You'll Bring: Minimum 2 years of sales experience selling engineered capital equipment through MEP's for both bid/spec and direct owner sales. 1-3+ years of working knowledge of boiler systems, hydronic equipment, industrial stack, or heat exchangers is preferred. Existing relationships with MEP Engineering firms or large industrial customers is a strong plus.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
