As a member of Belden’s Technical Solutions & Services Team, the Solution Consultant (SC) is responsible for developing Infrastructure Solutions enabling Data Acquisition and Transmission (DAT) in both Industrial and Enterprise Environments. Infrastructure Solutions are developed from Belden’s extensive portfolio of passive components (Copper & Fiber Optic Cables, TIA and DIN compatible Connectivity, as well as Environmentally Controlled Enclosures, Power Distribution, and Pathway products).

The SC will reference work done by Belden’s Solution Sales Managers and Digital Automation Consultants, as well as data obtained in Network Assessments to define Customer Challenges and IT / OT Network Infrastructure Requirements. The SC co-creates the Solution Design Specification (SDS) with Network Solutions Consultants and the client; with the SDS serving as a blueprint for Proof-of-Concept demonstration of the Solution and Belden’s Capabilities.

PoC’s are generally conducted at customer sites, or within one of Belden’s Customer Innovation Center Validation Labs (CIC). The SC is responsible for advising Commercial Operations and PMO Teams on their Scope and Design, and successful handoff to Belden’s execution functions. The solution consultant is a technical partner for other business functions, providing insights on Customer Trends, Product or Capability Gaps, and Successful Customer Outcomes.

The solution consultant relies on technical competencies first and utilizes vertical specific experience to acknowledge and solve vertical specific challenges. SC’s rich experience developing and implementing Infrastructure Solutions supporting Data Acquisition and Transmission will accelerate the credibility of Belden as a trusted solution provider. Successful candidates will facilitate collaboration, teamwork, and communication, acting as the pivot point among the internal and external participants of a project opportunity.
