About ABB

ABB splits its sellers by business area, and each faces a different buyer: Electrification (Smart Buildings, Distribution Solutions, Smart Power and its service arm) sells breakers, switchgear, low voltage components, emergency lighting and critical power systems to electrical contractors, distributors, consulting engineers, panel builders and data center and semiconductor operators; Motion sells NEMA low voltage motors, drives and traction systems to OEMs and plants and services the installed base of motors, generators and drives; Automation sells instrumentation, analyzers, force measurement and process control to mining, metals, pulp and paper, water and energy customers; and the Robotics business, which SoftBank Group has agreed to buy, sells robot cells to automotive Tier I suppliers and general industry. A typical US seat is a territory, either a trade area such as San Antonio or Cincinnati or a multi-state region such as the Mountain West or the Midwest, worked from home with heavy travel, and much of the volume moves through channel, so district growth leaders, channel sales specialists and a national manager over independent sales agencies sit beside the account managers. Global and key account managers own named customers across business lines (Volvo Cars and BMW, the rail maker CRRC, data center operators), while technical sales support staff, application engineers and electrical solution architects engineer and price the bids the field takes to customers. Levels run from paid summer sales internships and co-ops through inside sales, sales specialists and business development managers to regional and national sales managers, a vice president of sales and channel strategy for drive products and global segment heads. Outside the US its sellers are sales specialists and service sales engineers in the local ABB company, across China, India, Southeast Asia, Korea and Japan, Europe, the Gulf and Latin America.

If one of these employers pays a referral fee, it comes from them when you apply here, and your offer stays exactly the same.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at ABB

Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30
Stated per posting

From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: US postings state a yearly base range set by the applicant's qualifications and experience, then say whether the seat is bonus eligible or carries a short-term incentive plan or annual bonus; none prints an OTE, a commission rate or a base to variable split. The same band appears for construction sellers in Cincinnati and San Antonio, a Midwest force measurement specialist and a remote California inside seller, so ranges follow the grade rather than the location; the inside sales posting names no bonus at all. Summer interns and co-ops are paid by the hour, within a range set by qualifications, graduation year and experience. Outside the US no posting gives a figure: the UK, Finland and Croatia promise a competitive salary with a performance bonus, Finland adds an employee share acquisition program, and the rest say nothing on pay. Ask what the bonus target is against base, whether it pays on orders, revenue or margin, and whether distributor and agency sales in the territory count toward it. The roles listed below state what ABB posts now.
