With over 50 years of industry experience, Castlet has built a reputation in providing innovative power and control solutions for organisations across the world. Our team of experts drive forward these relationships and results, sitting at the heart of everything we do.
This brand-new blog series, ‘My Castlet Stories’, will dive into the experiences of our team members here at Castlet, as they share their insights and expertise on the industry, the net zero energy transition and career motivations.
We sat down with Amir Rahmani, Specialist Sales Manager, to discuss his eight-year journey at Castlet, reducing air pollution through engineering solutions, and cutting-edge technology.
What is your role at Castlet, and what does it involve?
As Specialist Sales Manager, I lead Castlet’s sales efforts across multiple industries – from power generation to glass and energy storage – specialising in industrial air pollution control solutions.
Having joined Castlet as a Sales & Site Service Engineer in 2017, when I relocated to the UK, I gained hands-on experience in commissioning, troubleshooting and customer support.
I then transitioned into a Sales Account Manager role, focusing on business development and strengthening relationships with clients across the globe. My experience both as an engineer and in the commercial world means that I am well positioned to deliver meaningful solutions to our clients.
What inspired you to become an engineer, and how did you discover Castlet?
My journey into engineering began with a bachelor’s degree in electrical and power engineering, followed by a master’s in electrical engineering.
Building on this strong technical foundation, I started my career 19 years ago as an Electrical Installation & Commissioning Supervisor.
Fifteen years ago, I had my first conversation with Ian Melton [Director] during a sales visit to Iran while I was working as Electrical Supervisor at Daneshvaran Innovation Engineering Co. (Dieco). Little did I know that this interaction would pave the way for my future at Castlet!
What is your area of expertise within the industry?
At Castlet, my expertise revolves around Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) and advanced air pollution technologies.My role involves developing and delivering tailored solutions for industries reliant on Air pollution control systems, leveraging Castlet’s 51 years of market leadership. Currently, my focus is on three-phase technology, a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance electrostatic precipitator performance.
Three-phase power supply is designed to upgrade ESPs to meet the increased particulate removal efficiency required by regulations and improve reliability and efficiency. This technology plays a key part in our ability to provide stable and controlled environments for particle extraction.
As an electrical specialist in sales, I bring a unique technical-commercial perspective that enables me to advise customers on system improvements, optimise ESP performance, and demonstrate how Castlet’s technology can drive measurable efficiency gains.
