The Role

We're hiring an Energy & Utilities Subject Matter Expert to be the technical credibility behind every business client conversation. This is a client-facing role, not a back-office analyst position: you will sit across the table from plant owners, CFOs, grid operations managers, and hospital facilities directors, and you need to be able to look at their actual energy-relevant verticals: industrial manufacturing (compressed air, motors, humidification, demand charges), grid and water utilities, and building/healthcare energy (HVAC, generators, critical power).

Key Responsibilities

Pre-sales & client engagement

• Lead the technical/domain conversation in prospect meetings, pilot kickoffs, and proof-of-value engagements.
• Represent NeST Digital in client workshops and business reviews, presenting findings directly to customers and leadership.
• Partner with Sales and Solutions Architecture to scope pilot assets, define baseline measurement points, etc.
• Build and maintain vertical-specific business use cases, ROI calculators, and reference case studies used by the sales and marketing team.
• Stay current on the regulatory drivers that create urgency for prospects — BRSR, EU CBAM, India's PAT scheme, ISO 50001, Qatar National Vision 2030, Saudi Vision 2030 — and translate them into commercial conversation, not just compliance trivia.
  
  

Product & delivery support

• Work with the ML/AI engine team to ground anomaly thresholds and energy-normalisation logic in real engineering behaviour, not just statistical baselines.
• Sanity-check on every energy related proposal, offerings from the DU/BU.
• Be up-to-date on the innovation, Guide and prepare critical offerings, service for Energy customer and help to build strong skill set inside the organization.
  
  

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Energy, or Industrial Engineering.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in industrial energy audits, energy management, or utility-side efficiency programmes.
