Overview

 

About Shermco:

Since 1974, Shermco has become North America’s largest and fastest growing NETA-accredited electrical testing organization. Our focus is to make sure electrical power systems are functioning properly and safely. Additionally, our Professional Engineering Group, Rotating Machinery Division, Renewable Energy Services, and Field Repair and local Repair Service Centers, places Shermco in a position to handle all things electrical, all done with an emphasis on safety and client service.

 

Location: Remote with 50% travel. Ideally, we want someone who resides in Des Moines, IA but we are also open to St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cedar Rapids, Minneapolis, or Arkansas or other cities near a major airport.

 

Position Summary:

Shermco Industries is seeking an Electrical Engineer with power distribution experience who’s ready to take their technical expertise into a more strategic, client-facing role.

As a National Account Manager, you’ll partner with engineering and operations leaders across

 10–15 major Food, Beverage & Agriculture companies to help them improve safety, reliability, and performance through Shermco’s electrical services. This is not a traditional sales job — it’s a technical leadership role where your engineering knowledge is the foundation for building relationships, solving problems, and growing key national accounts. Most of our top National Account Managers began their careers as engineers, not salespeople.
