Government Contracts Specialist

Scheerer Bearing Corporation | Willow Grove, PA | Full-Time, On-Site

We’re building out our government and defense business — and looking for the person to lead the charge.

For more than 60 years, Scheerer Bearing Corporation has designed, manufactured, and reconditioned some of the most advanced ball and roller bearings in the industry — the kind trusted by industrial giants and OEMs who can’t afford failure. We’ve built bearings for equipment running in extreme environments, and our engineering team helps develop the next generation of frictionless machinery.

Founded in 1963 just outside Philadelphia, Scheerer is still led today by the third generation of the family that built it. We’ve grown a lot since then — new facilities, new capabilities, new markets — but we’ve kept what matters: real people making real decisions, not layers of bureaucracy standing between an idea and getting it done.

Government and defense work is one of the markets we’re most focused on growing right now. We’ve already got contracts and relationships in that space — what we haven’t had is someone driving it as a real priority. This newly created role exists to change that and turn it into a true growth engine for the company.

You know your way around a government solicitation. FAR and DFARS aren’t foreign concepts — you’ve read them, applied them, maybe argued about them. Maybe you’ve worked in a defense contracts office, a government-facing sales role, or contract administration for a manufacturer. However you got there, you’re ready to take a piece of the business that’s never had real focus and turn it into one of our biggest growth stories — owning it from first conversation through negotiation and closeout, and building it into something the company becomes known for.

• Identify and pursue government and defense opportunities that fit our manufacturing and engineering capabilities
• Represent Scheerer at industry events and with government agencies, prime contractors, and defense partners
• Develop and submit competitive, compliant proposals — pricing and all
• Negotiate contracts and manage them from award through closeout
  
  Recommend the capability investments that help us win bigger, better business
• Be the single point of contact, internally and externally, for the government work you run

• We’re already in this industry — it just hasn’t had real focus. There’s a lot more opportunity out there for the person who goes after it.
• We’re not a massive conglomerate. Three generations of the same family have run this company since 1963. Decisions get made by people, not committees, and you won’t be just another number.
• You’ll work on parts that matter. Precision components built for critical infrastructure and defense applications, where failure isn’t an option.
• Growth here is real. New facilities, new markets, and a leadership team actively pushing toward what’s next — you’d be part of that chapter, not maintaining the status quo.

We offer competitive pay, health and dental coverage, and a company contribution to your 401(k).
