Job Overview
Mainspring Energy is seeking a Senior Manager of Channel Sales to lead our expansion into Mexico and the Caribbean. We need a deal orchestrator—a Senior Manager of Channel Sales who can recruit the right EPCs, developers, and partners across Mexico and the Caribbean, and then drive them to close. Reporting to the Senior Director of Channel Sales, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of partner-driven revenue: from identifying the right entities in the power market to ensuring they are equipped to close large deals. This role is for a hunter who understands the technical nuances of the data center and distributed energy space and knows how to navigate complex utility landscapes in the region.
Primary Responsibilities
- Pipeline & Quota: Own and exceed revenue targets for Mexico and the Caribbean regions through strategic channel partners
- Partner Recruitment: Identify, vet, and onboard Tier 1 partners (EPCs, Energy Developers, and Integrators) with a specific focus on the Mexico market
- Deal Quarterbacking: Lead cross-functional internal teams (Product, Finance, Engineering) to support partners in closing high-contract-value transactions
- Sales Enablement: Move partners from "signed" to "productive" by delivering high-impact training on Mainspring’s value proposition in power quality, resiliency, and fuel flexibility
- Market Strategy: Execute go-to-market strategies tailored to the Mexican utility environment, focusing on behind-the-meter applications and data center load growth
- Forecasting & Performance: Maintain a rigorous, data-driven approach to partner performance, using KPIs to manage pipeline health and provide accurate revenue forecasts to leadership
Qualifications
- Regional Expertise: 10+ years of experience in energy/power generation sales, with at least 5 years specifically focused on the Mexico and Caribbean markets
- Language: Native or near-native Spanish fluency is essential. Must be able to negotiate complex contracts and build trust with C-suite stakeholders in-region
- Sales Experience: Proven track record of selling complex, big-ticket energy solutions (Turbines, Generators, Electrical infrastructure, Fuel Cells, Microgrids, Large-scale Storage, or Industrial Power Gen). History of retiring quotas in excess of $10M+
- Technical/Financial Acumen: Comfort with project finance concepts (IRR, NPV, PPA structures) and the ability to articulate technical value to engineering stakeholders
- Education: Bachelor’s degree required; Engineering or Quantitative degrees highly preferred
- Location: Based in or the ability to travel frequently to Mexico. Preference for candidates based in Southern California, Texas, or Florida

Which manufacturing companies sponsor E-3 visas in California?
Large aerospace and defense contractors like Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin, along with semiconductor manufacturers such as Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA Corporation, have established E-3 sponsorship track records in California. Medical device companies including Edwards Lifesciences and Intuitive Surgical also sponsor E-3 workers. Sponsorship patterns vary by facility, hiring cycle, and the specific role's specialty occupation qualification.
Which cities in California have the most manufacturing E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Los Angeles and the surrounding South Bay area concentrate aerospace and defense manufacturing, making it one of the strongest regions for E-3 opportunities. The San Jose and Santa Clara corridor hosts semiconductor and electronics manufacturers. San Diego has a dense cluster of defense and biomedical device manufacturers. Fresno and Stockton in the Central Valley support food processing and agricultural equipment manufacturing at a smaller scale.
What types of manufacturing roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship?
Roles that qualify as specialty occupations are the key requirement. In California manufacturing, this commonly includes process engineers, quality engineers, manufacturing engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers, industrial engineers, materials scientists, and supply chain analysts where a relevant bachelor's degree is a standard hiring requirement for the position. General production, assembly, and machine operator roles typically do not meet the specialty occupation threshold for E-3 eligibility.
How do I find manufacturing E-3 sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by visa type, state, and industry to surface California manufacturing roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship, without having to manually screen hundreds of job listings. Migrate Mate focuses on roles relevant to Australian nationals on E-3 visas, so the results are more targeted than a general job search.
Are there any California-specific considerations for E-3 sponsorship in manufacturing?
California's strict employment laws add context for employers managing the Labor Condition Application process, particularly around prevailing wage compliance. The state's heavy union presence in aerospace manufacturing can affect role classifications and how specialty occupation requirements are structured in job descriptions. California also enforces additional worker protections that employers factor into the overall cost and process of sponsoring a nonimmigrant worker, which can influence hiring decisions at smaller manufacturers.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 manufacturing jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
