Title: Strategic Account Executive, Engineering and Construction

Team Context

The AI Ecosystem Team develops strategic relationships with market participants that influence how AI infrastructure is conceived, architected, integrated, and deployed. The team engages upstream of individual transactions and across engineering and construction planning to create demand visibility, architectural alignment, project-delivery alignment, partner advocacy, and qualified opportunity pull-through.

• Influence infrastructure decisions before formal procurement begins.

• Build the relationships that give Bloom’s engineering, technical support, and execution functions a seat at the design and construction-planning table.

• Create qualified opportunities for customer-account teams.

• Operate in parallel with customer-account teams, which retain ownership of end-customer relationships, commercial opportunities, contracts, and deployment execution.

Position Summary

Bloom Energy is seeking a Strategic Account Executive, Engineering and Construction to develop strategic relationships with the consulting, design, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms and general contractors (GCs) that shape how AI data centers are powered and delivered. The target segment includes architecture and engineering (A&E) practices, owner’s engineers, independent MEP and electrical design consultants, EPC firms, construction managers, and GCs that influence technology selection, basis-of-design decisions, procurement, constructability, and project delivery.

Engagement must reflect each firm’s role. Consulting engineers and other independent design advisors require vendor-neutral technical education and design support to evaluate Bloom on merit. EPCs and GCs also influence procurement, construction planning, integration, and delivery; this role builds relationships across those functions to position Bloom as a viable project solution and identify opportunities for collaboration, coordinated with the appropriate customer-account team.

Bloom operates a matrixed selling model. This is a strategic account relationship and orchestration role: the Strategic Account Executive opens and owns the right senior and working-level relationships across engineering and construction firms, then mobilizes Bloom’s engineering, product, technical support, and execution functions to advance design acceptance, project readiness, and qualified opportunity pull-through. Success is measured by the depth of account engagement, influence on project decisions, and qualified opportunities enabled—not by independently authoring engineering deliverables or taking ownership of end-customer contracts and deployment execution.

Strategic Engineering and Construction Account Leadership

• Develop and lead account plans for assigned consulting, design, engineering, EPC, and GC accounts, building senior and working-level relationships across engineering, procurement, preconstruction, and project-delivery leaders.

• Map each firm’s organization, project pipeline, design standards, and decision influencers, and set the strategy for advancing design acceptance and procurement readiness.

Orchestrating Bloom Technical Engagement

• Connect consulting engineers, EPCs, and GCs with the right Bloom engineering, product, and execution experts, and prioritize support toward accounts with the greatest design and delivery influence.

• Remove barriers, align internal resources, and ensure follow-through rather than personally producing engineering deliverables or managing construction execution.

Enabling Bases of Design and Specification

• Position Bloom’s engineering teams to provide specification language, single-line references, load studies, and constructability support that engineers evaluate and adopt.

• Champion Bloom’s inclusion as a specified or approved basis-of-design or alternate within master specifications and design standards.

Enabling Reference Architectures and Technical Validation

• Mobilize Bloom engineering and product teams to develop reference architectures, design templates, and application guides for onsite power in AI data centers.

• Ensure engineers receive the performance data, code-compliance documentation, and third-party validation needed to specify with confidence.

Construction, Procurement, and Delivery Alignment

• Engage EPC and GC preconstruction, estimating, and procurement teams early to understand project requirements, schedules, and decision criteria.

• Coordinate Bloom technical and execution resources on site readiness, construction interfaces, and commissioning, routing commercial terms to the teams authorized to own them.

Technical Education and Industry Advocacy

• Organize technical education for consulting engineers, EPCs, and GCs, including accredited PDH/AIA sessions and project workshops with Bloom experts.

• Build a network of informed advocates and represent Bloom in technical forums, standards bodies, and industry associations.

Opportunity Development and Internal Coordination

• Identify projects early through engineer, EPC, and GC relationships, and route qualified opportunities and design and procurement insights to the appropriate customer-account and execution teams.

• Coordinate across AI Developer, AI Platform, customer-account, product, engineering, finance, legal, and execution teams behind the relationship strategy.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years in strategic account management, technical sales, engineering, construction, or business development within data centers, critical facilities, or electrical infrastructure.

• Demonstrated success building trusted relationships with consulting engineers, A&E firms, EPCs, or GCs.

• Proven ability to orchestrate technical and execution resources in a matrixed environment, with sufficient fluency in data center power and construction interfaces to engage credibly.

• Strong account-planning, executive-communication, and cross-functional leadership skills; willingness to travel as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• PE license or equivalent engineering credential; bachelor’s degree in electrical or mechanical engineering (advanced degree or MBA preferred).

• Relationships within leading MEP, A&E, EPC, owner’s-engineering, or GC organizations serving data centers.

• Familiarity with AI data center architecture and onsite generation, microgrids, or fuel-cell systems.
