About ICEM Engineering
ICEM Engineering Co. (India) Pvt. Ltd. is a 60-year-old heavy engineering manufacturer headquartered in Thane, Maharashtra, with manufacturing facilities in Wada (Maharashtra) and Multai (Madhya Pradesh). ICEM is one of India’s specialist manufacturers of explosion-bonded clad plates and precision cold-formed pressure vessel components, serving clients across oil & gas, petrochemicals, fertilisers, steel, power, defence, and nuclear sectors.
The company is currently in a strategic growth phase — expanding capacity, investing in new capital equipment, and building a professional commercial team to drive the next stage of scale.
Product Lines You Will Sell
The Regional Sales Manager will be responsible for generating business across ICEM’s full product portfolio:
Explosion Bonded Clad Plates
- Clad plates manufactured using explosion bonding process per SA 264 / ASME standards
- Common combinations: SA 516 Gr.60N/70N + SS 316L, Alloy C276, Inconel 825, SDSS, Titanium, and others
- Applications: reactors, columns, heat exchangers, pressure vessels in corrosive-service environments
Cold Formed Pressure Vessel Components
- Dished ends (dish heads): 2:1 Ellipsoidal, Torispherical, Hemispherical — single-piece seamless construction
- Rolled shells, cones, and transition pieces
- Formed tube sheets and flat bottom heads
- Expansion bellows and other precision-formed components
- Capabilities up to 5,400 mm ID on flanging machine (2:1 Ellipsoidal) and 130 mm thickness on hydraulic presses
Role Overview
This is a field-based, revenue-generating role. You will be assigned a defined geographic region and will be responsible for building and managing ICEM’s sales pipeline in that territory — from prospecting and relationship building through to inquiry generation, quotation follow-up, and order closure. You will sell both clad plates and formed components, representing the complete ICEM product portfolio to end-users, EPCs, fabricators, and OEMs in your region.
This is not a back-office or coordination role. We are looking for someone who will be on the ground, visiting clients, understanding their upcoming projects, and positioning ICEM as a preferred supplier.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the assigned regional territory and build a structured sales pipeline covering both clad plate and forming product lines.
- Identify and develop relationships with key decision-makers — procurement heads, project managers, technical/design engineers, and vendor development teams — at end-user plants, EPC contractors, fabricators, and OEMs.
- Generate inquiries by understanding client project pipelines, upcoming shutdowns, capex plans, and procurement schedules.
- Conduct regular client visits (minimum 15–20 client touchpoints per month) and maintain a structured visit report/CRM discipline.
- Follow up on quotations, handle techno-commercial discussions, and drive inquiries to order closure.
- Coordinate with ICEM’s estimation and technical teams to ensure accurate and competitive proposals.
- Pursue and secure vendor registrations/AVL approvals at target organisations within the region.
- Provide market intelligence: competitor activity, pricing trends, upcoming projects, and client feedback.
- Represent ICEM at industry exhibitions, seminars, and client technical presentations.
- Host client delegations for factory visits to ICEM’s Wada manufacturing facility when required.
- Submit weekly activity reports and maintain pipeline data as per the company’s reporting framework.
Mandatory Requirements
- B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised university.
- 5–12 years of direct sales/BD experience selling heavy engineering components or capital equipment (pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, dished ends, clad plates, steel fabrications, or similar).
- Demonstrable track record of field sales — candidates must be able to articulate specific accounts won, order values, and client relationships built.
- Working knowledge of materials commonly used in pressure vessel manufacturing: carbon steels (SA 516), stainless steels (SA 240), clad combinations, and relevant ASME/ASTM specifications.
- Experience dealing with EPC contractors, end-user procurement, and/or fabricator purchasing teams.
- Willingness to travel extensively within the assigned region (60–70% of working time will be in the field).
- Strong communication skills in English and Hindi; knowledge of regional languages relevant to the assigned territory is a plus.
- Self-driven, disciplined, and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience selling both clad plates and formed components (dished ends, shells, cones).
- Existing relationships with fabricators, EPCs, or end-users in the oil & gas, petrochemical, fertiliser, steel, or power sectors.
- Familiarity with explosion bonding processes, cold forming, and related manufacturing methods.
- Experience with government/PSU procurement processes, GeM portal, and tender-based sales is an advantage.
- MBA or equivalent post-graduate qualification in marketing/sales management.
- Experience with CRM tools and structured pipeline management.
Key Performance Indicators
- Monthly client visit count and quality of visit reports.
- Number of new inquiries generated per month (clad + forming combined).
- Inquiry-to-quotation and quotation-to-order conversion ratios.
- Annual order booking value from assigned territory.
- Number of new vendor registrations / AVL approvals secured per year.
- Pipeline value maintained at 3–4x of the annual booking target.
- Repeat business rate from existing accounts in the region.
Target Client Segments
The Regional Sales Manager will engage with clients across the following categories:
- Oil & Gas refineries and petrochemical complexes (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, Reliance, Nayara, etc.)
- EPC contractors (L&T, Technip Energies, Toyo, ThyssenKrupp, TATA Projects, Maire Tecnimont, etc.)
- Fertiliser plants (IFFCO, NFL, RCF, GNFC, KRIBHCO, etc.)
- Steel plants and metals processors (JSW, Tata Steel, SAIL, JSPL, AM/NS, etc.)

- Power and nuclear sector (NPCIL, BHEL, NTPC, etc.)

Why Join ICEM
- A strategic sales role in a 60-year-old, promoter-led engineering company undergoing an ambitious growth transformation.
- Direct access to the Director and involvement in commercial strategy at the leadership level.
- Opportunity to represent a differentiated product portfolio — ICEM is one of very few Indian manufacturers with both explosion bonding and large-scale cold forming capabilities.
