CEO / Co-Founder
Headcount
2 heads
Commission: Uncapped commission applies to all closed and invoiced deals. Earning potential discussed at interview.

The Role

Technical sales for iHEAT, iCOOL, iSPA, AquaHERO, iZONE and iSAVE. Site surveys, ROI case building, quotation, and closing. Customer base: hotels, hospitals, food processing, BPOs, commercial property. Technical credibility is the job — not lead-form-filling.

As Sales Engineer, you own the full sales cycle: inbound enquiry through to signed contract. You conduct site surveys, build ROI cases using Karnot's calculation tools, prepare formal quotations through the CRM, and close. You are the primary commercial contact for every client you manage, and you coordinate with engineering and installation teams post-sale to ensure the project delivers. When a client's operations engineer asks a technical question about refrigerant charge limits or COP at peak load, you answer it credibly.

The candidates hired in this round will help define the commercial playbook and progress to senior or team lead roles as the function scales. We are looking for people who want to build something, not just hit a number.

About This Role — Common Questions

How does the 5% commission work exactly?

Commission is paid on invoiced deal value — the total contract value invoiced to the client, including equipment and installation. It is calculated on invoicing, not on collection (though Karnot's payment terms require a deposit before project start and milestone payments through delivery). There is no cap, no threshold, and no clawback on properly executed sales. A ₱2M project earns ₱100,000 in commission.

Do I need to already know heat pump technology to apply?

You need a technical foundation — a BS ME or EE, and experience selling technical capital equipment. Deep knowledge of heat pump refrigeration cycles is not a hire requirement; Karnot provides full product training. What cannot be trained easily is sales competence, site-reading ability, and the credibility that comes from an engineering degree. Lead with those.

What is the typical deal size and sales cycle?

Commercial iHEAT and AquaHERO projects typically range from ₱200,000 to ₱2M. Larger iCOOL industrial refrigeration or multi-unit iHEAT projects can reach ₱5M–₱15M. Sales cycles range from 2 weeks (standard AquaHERO replacement) to 6 months (large industrial project with multiple decision-makers and permit requirements). iVOLT solar bundles are a faster cycle — typically 3–6 weeks for commercial clients.

Is this a purely Philippine market role, or are there international territories?

The immediate remit is the Philippines — Luzon and Visayas. Karnot also has operations in the UK and Canada, and as the company scales, export territory opportunities may open. For now, the Philippine commercial pipeline is large enough to build a strong commission income without looking beyond domestic markets.
