About The Position

The Custom ETO Medium-Voltage (MV) and Low-Voltage (LV) Product & Application Quoting Specialist is a product-aligned technical expert responsible for developing accurate, complete Bills of Materials (BOMs), pricing, and feasibility assessments for high-complexity custom and engineer-to-order electrical equipment. The role focuses on Ad Hoc and built-from-ground-up solutions where deep product knowledge, manual configuration, and cost development are required beyond the capabilities of standard catalog tools, selectors, or automated configurators. Operating under the direction of a Lead Quoting Specialist (LQS), the specialist receives a defined product or application scope within a larger project. Assignments may include MV switchgear, low-voltage motor control centers, low-voltage distribution and overcurrent equipment, protection and control automation, power quality systems, or other complex MV/LV applications. The specialist may concentrate on one product family or support multiple categories based on experience and business needs.

Requirements

Associate or bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Industrial Technology, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and hands-on technical experience.
At least three years of experience quoting, configuring, or applying complex MV and/or LV electrical distribution equipment, with deep working knowledge of at least one in-scope product category.
Ability to interpret complex one-lines, relay protection schemes, RFQ specifications, and customer engineering standards, with experience developing manual BOMs outside standard configurators.
Strong written communication, documentation, analytical judgment, attention to detail, priority management, and collaboration with LQS, application engineering, tender engineering, product engineering, and manufacturing teams.

Nice To Haves

Five or more years in relevant MV/LV products or applications
Familiarity with Schneider Electric product lines and ACE tools
Knowledge of NEC, NEMA, ANSI C37, IEEE, and IEC standards

Responsibilities

Review assigned scope packages, including one-line diagrams, specifications, RFQ documents, relay schemes, customer standards, and project narratives.
Confirm scope boundaries, assumptions, applicable product categories, and required deliverables before beginning BOM development.
Evaluate technical feasibility; identify non-standard configurations, special ratings, specification conflicts, undefined parameters, and items requiring engineering escalation.
Proactively communicate questions, risks, and scope ambiguities to the LQS and support Tender Manager-led Category A, B, C, and D projects.
Build complete, itemized BOMs using Ad Hoc and manual methods when standard selectors or ACE configurators are unavailable or insufficient.
Select and configure equipment from specifications, one-lines, relay diagrams, control requirements, and customer standards.
Provide accurate descriptions, quantities, configurations, and pricing for all line items within the assigned scope.
Perform manual costing for custom or ETO content and document assumptions, clarifications, exceptions, and exclusions.
Deliver completed BOMs to the LQS in the required format and within established deadlines, clearly identifying open items and pending reviews.
Support BOM consolidation by resolving scope gaps, overlaps, configuration questions, and pricing issues; revise deliverables when scope, addenda, or customer requirements change.
Cross-check BOMs against project documents and verify compliance with applicable NEC, NEMA, ANSI, IEEE, IEC, and customer-specific requirements.
Maintain clear documentation and revision history and escalate technically infeasible configurations or unresolved conflicts promptly.
