Knobelsdorff is redefining what it means to be a high-performing electrical and automation contractor. Whether we’re wiring multi-million-dollar industrial facilities or retrofitting automation systems on the fly, our teams deliver with precision, grit, and zero excuses. We’re the go-to partner when the pressure’s on and the path forward isn’t clear.
Now we’re looking for a Marketing Manager who can tell that story, clearly, confidently, and creatively. If you understand technical work, love rolling up your sleeves, and know how to turn field results into marketing firepower, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
You’ll lead the marketing strategy and execution for our Electric and Automation divisions, working alongside division leaders, business development, and SMEs to shape how the world sees our work. From proposals and sell sheets to digital campaigns and trade shows, you’ll drive messaging that supports growth, enhances reputation, and helps us win the next big job.
You’ll partner with division leaders, subject matter experts, and our internal creative team to deliver high-impact marketing programs aligned with business goals.
Key Responsibilities:
- Strategic Marketing Leadership
- Build and execute annual marketing plans for the Electric and Automation divisions, aligned to sales, ops, and company-wide goals.
- Launch lead-generation and brand-awareness campaigns that support sales targets, growth regions, and market expansion and key industries (food & bev, grain, feed, flour, renewable fuels, and manufacturing).
- Content Development & Communication
- Translate technical offerings into customer-focused messaging for proposals, sell sheets, case studies, social media, and web.
- Develop marketing assets: proposals, one-pagers, video scripts, pitch decks, email campaigns, and customer testimonials.
- Sales Enablement
- Partner with estimating and business development to arm them with the tools, messaging, and insights needed to close more work and win repeat business.
- Campaigns & Brand Positioning
- Launch campaigns showcasing our value prop in fast-paced construction environments; speed, integration, experience, and “never say no” attitude.
- Market Intelligence
- Track campaign performance, lead funnel metrics, and marketing ROI to optimize ongoing efforts.
- Monitor market trends, competitive positioning, and customer needs to inform messaging and outreach.
- Event & Partner Coordination
- Support presence at industry events, trade shows, and customer engagement opportunities in collaboration with the events team.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of B2B marketing experience, ideally in construction, automation, manufacturing, or industrial services.
- Strong copywriting and messaging chops, able to translate complex technical capabilities into clear, punchy language.
- A proven track record of driving marketing results in fast-paced, high-accountability environments.
- Exceptional project management skills with a hands-on approach.
- Comfortable navigating between field conversations and executive discussions.
- Familiarity with CRM tools, digital campaign platforms, and video storytelling is a plus.
