Commercial Strategy Engineer – Aftermarket Parts Pricing

Commercial Strategy Engineer – Aftermarket Parts Pricing

Alphanumeric Systems is hiring a Commercial Strategy Engineer – Aftermarket Parts Pricing to support our client’s growing Power Parts business. This role is perfect for candidates with experience in parts pricing, cost estimation, manufacturing processes, or technical drawing interpretation, and who want to develop into a future pricing leader.

While the title includes “Engineer,” this is not a design engineering role
. It is a pricing analyst role with strong technical influence
, responsible for defining competitive and profitable pricing across a wide range of turbine‑related parts—from nuts, bolts, washers, and seals to highly engineered components.

You will partner directly with Product Line leaders and Commercial, Sales, and Service teams to build pricing structures, estimate part costs, evaluate market competitiveness, and contribute meaningfully to the company’s commercial growth.
