About Caterpillar

Most of Caterpillar's sales openings sit between the factory and its Cat dealers or channel partners: the seller sets forecasts and go-to-market plans with a dealer, reviews its numbers, builds the skills of its sales team and backs it on tenders and large deals. The Electric Power Division holds 11 of the 24 sampled openings, including an Eastern US sales manager leading dealer-facing reps and product consultants, sales engineers who check bid specifications for generator sets, consultants for the G3500 gas prime power line and for Latin American aftermarket rebuilds, energy sales executives in Irving and Mossville hunting demand response and distributed energy contracts, and an account manager at its Tangent Energy Solutions unit in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The rest spread across the group: MWM and Caterpillar Energy Solutions gas engine and combined heat and power sales in Mannheim and Beijing, FG Wilson generator channels for Chile, Brazil and Argentina, mining buckets and bodies in Côte d'Ivoire, Cat paving dealers across Canada, wear and undercarriage aftermarket in Europe, construction attachments out of Cary, North Carolina, rental power partners across Europe, Africa and the Middle East from Larne, and Cat Digital's Converge Suite ERP sold to dealers. Levels run from an 18 to 24 month field rep development program in Tullamarine, Victoria to regional sales directors in Beijing and Singapore, and a few of the 27 are planning or support seats (two sales and operations planning managers, a Salesforce systems specialist in Bangalore, a field service engineer). About four in ten openings are in the US, led by Texas, Illinois and Indiana; Germany has three and the UK two, and the rest are single roles in Asia, Latin America, Canada, Australia, the Middle East and Africa.
