About Phoenix Contact
Every sales opening on this board belongs to Phoenix Contact USA, the group's American subsidiary based in Middletown, Pennsylvania, whose technical field force sells its catalog to OEM machine builders, plant end users, utilities and engineering firms alongside a distributor channel. Territory work is split by job: account development specialists cold-call and visit end users (at least 20 sales calls a week) until an account is large enough to pass to a sales engineer, OEM sales engineers grow assigned manufacturer accounts, strategic account managers run regional key accounts up to corporate price negotiations, and field application engineers carry a quota for one portfolio, either automation, control and networking or cabinet efficiency (printers, marking materials, hand and automatic tools). Two specialist lines sit beside them: an energy business development manager selling low-voltage telemetry and control gear for grid transmission and distribution across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley, and network sales engineers who own the EtherWAN industrial Ethernet range. All 30 sales postings are in the US, and most repeat one regional seat under several city names: nine for the cabinet efficiency FAE across the Mountain West and Midwest, five for EtherWAN engineers (four in Northern California, one in Houston), four each for the end-user specialist, the energy BDM and the automation FAE in the Carolinas, two for strategic account managers in Cincinnati and Louisville, one OEM engineer in West Texas and one sales program manager in Middletown.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
