JetCo Solutions' growth means new sales, technical writing jobs for Grand Rapids

JetCo Solutions says its proactive and reactive processes for helping clients sell to the government has put the company on a growth track. That, in turn, means finding people to fill three new job positions the company just opened.

JetCo Solutions helps clients find government contracts for their product or service, works through the bidding process with them, helps them manage the proposal and follows up after submitting the proposals, says VP Sue Tellier.

"The capabilities are quite specific," says Tellier. Tellier's husband, Jon Tellier, founded the company in 2006. "We spent a lot of time trying to find the person with the perfect background, the perfect skills. But we've found that what we prefer is someone with the raw skills, someone who is not rigid, that we can train."

Tellier says the company will bring on a technical writer in the next two months. JetCo is also looking for two account managers to be "the main face" of the organization. And while experience is preferred, it's not a requirement.

The company is open to hiring a recent college graduate who has a degree in technical writing, says Tellier. And though she'd like to hire sales managers with procurement experience, she says that if someone understands how the federal budget works and how agencies spend money, they can teach the procurement piece.

JetCo Solutions has a diverse clientele, says Tellier, and does not take on clients who could compete with each other. Clients include companies from a number of industries, including healthcare staffing, a flooring contractor, defense contractors, air quality services and a lighting manufacturer.
