Job Description

Kinsley Group is ramping up for our SalesPath Rotational Development Program – Summer 2026, a structured 6-month program designed to build the next generation of commercial leaders in energy solutions.

This is not a traditional entry-level sales role. Our Associate Sales Engineers complete an immersive, hands-on development experience designed specifically for outside sales — built for ambitious, technically minded professionals who want to build a long-term career in territory-based field sales.

Because this is a field-based career path, candidates must be willing to relocate within Kinsley’s geographic territory as business needs and growth opportunities arise.

What You'll Do:

  • Complete structured rotations across core business units, gaining full lifecycle exposure from opportunity identification through execution and closeout
  • Support live projects and customer meetings in a true outside sales environment, engaging contractors, engineers, and end users
  • Develop technical knowledge of generators, switchgear, transfer switches, load banks, fuel systems, CHP, battery storage, and integrated energy solutions
  • Build discipline in quoting, CRM management, forecasting, and territory planning
  • Learn consultative selling strategies and account development best practices
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and service teams
  • Gain exposure to capital projects, service agreements, and temporary power solutions through hands-on field immersion

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field
  • Strong technical aptitude and interest in industrial power systems
  • Competitive, driven, and motivated to build a long-term sales career
  • Comfortable engaging with contractors, engineers, and business leaders
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Ability to travel between branches and customer sites throughout the Northeast
  • Growth mindset and coachability

Successful completion of SalesPath prepares you for placement into a full-time Industrial Sales Engineer or related sales role. At Kinsley, we don’t just hire salespeople — we develop energy solutions leaders.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

About The Kinsley Group

In 1964, Kenneth N. Kinsley laid the foundation of Kinsley Power Systems, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. Over the years, our company has steadily grown and evolved into a trusted provider of emergency backup generators and prime power systems. Today, we proudly serve customers throughout the northeast as The Kinsley Group and are renowned for our integrity and professionalism.

At Kinsley, our mission is simple: to set the standard for power systems performance and service. We achieve this by focusing on two key pillars: delivering quality products and assembling a team of exceptional professionals. For over 50 years, we have exclusively distributed Kohler Power Systems, a highly respected name in emergency power systems. This partnership allows us to offer the best products and ensure customer satisfaction.

Our associates are the backbone of our success. They are knowledgeable and dedicated to excellence in their respective fields. Whether it is finding innovative solutions to engineering problems or providing outstanding customer service, our team takes pride in their work and approaches every task with care.

When it comes to emergency power products, we are the preferred choice in the Northeast US. From single-phase residential 8.5kW generators to three-phase units up to 4MW with paralleling switchgear, we offer a wide range of high-quality Kohler products and reliable service.

In addition to Kinsley Power Systems, The Kinsley Group also includes Kinsley Energy Systems. KES specializes in combined heat and power applications across the Northeast. As a U.S. distributor of Tedom CHP systems, KES brings advanced power generation solutions to the market.
