Job Description

Position Summary

We’re looking for a driven and knowledgeable Sales Application Engineer to join our team. In this hybrid technical sales role, you’ll work closely with customers, DirtPrep’s internal team, and manufacturer partners to deliver and support positioning technology solutions—such as GPS machine control, total stations, utility detection tools, and software applications. You’ll be involved in pre-sales support, product demos, solution design, quoting, and post-sale customer success.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of sales, engineering, and field operations—someone who can earn trust with a contractor, wire a GPS system on a dozer, and explain the value of a 3D model in one conversation.

???? Sales Engineering & Customer Success

• Work with sales and technical teams to qualify leads and define solution scope based on customer needs.

• Perform product demos, field tests, and technical presentations at customer sites or virtually.

• Create and deliver detailed proposals, quotes, and equipment configurations.

• Assist with installation and setup of machine control, survey, and detection equipment on job sites.

• Educate clients on product use, best practices, and workflow integration to ensure successful adoption.

• Maintain ongoing communication with clients to support usage, resolve technical issues, and uncover new needs.

???? Technical Pre-Sales & Support

• Serve as a technical subject matter expert on Leica Geosystems, AGTEK, GNSS, total stations, and utility detection solutions.

• Troubleshoot product issues in the field or remotely; escalate to manufacturer support as needed.

• Support product training, events, and onboarding activities for customers and internal staff.

• Keep up to date with product changes, firmware/software updates, and new feature rollouts.

???? Internal Coordination & Growth

• Maintain accurate records in CRM (e.g. Zoho).

• Support internal documentation (e.g. quotes, scopes, templates, training resources).

• Help evaluate and improve sales application engineering and technical delivery processes.

• Collaborate with modeling and support teams to ensure smooth project execution.

• 2–5 years experience in a construction technology, engineering, or technical sales role.

• Working knowledge of GNSS, machine control, survey instruments, or construction software (e.g., Leica, Trimble, Topcon, AGTEK, Civil 3D).

• Strong customer-facing communication skills—both verbal and written.

• Comfort working on active construction sites and around heavy equipment.

• Mechanically inclined with experience installing or configuring field hardware.

• Experience interpreting civil or sitework plans and specs preferred.

• CRM and quoting system experience preferred.

• Valid driver’s license; ability to travel across California and Nevada; some overnight stays.

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, geomatics, or related field preferred.

Physical Requirements

• Must be able to lift and carry up to 40 pounds occasionally (e.g., supplies, equipment)

• Ability to operate a computer and other office and field equipment, such as power tools.

• May occasionally need to ascend/descend stairs, bend, kneel, or reach overhead.

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

• Competitive compensation

• Employer provides free individual healthcare and offers dental, vision insurance and 401(k) matching

• Fifteen days of paid time off, sick leave, plus company holidays

• A tight-knit team of doers and builders

• Career growth path into administrative leadership, within sales ops, or customer success teams
