• Collaborate with application engineers to ensure technical accuracy and client satisfaction.
• Translate complex technical solutions into value-based recommendations for customers of all skill levels.

• Follow through on the full sales cycle—from initial inquiry through order fulfillment and post-sale service.
• Coordinate closely with the service and parts departments to ensure smooth customer experience and ongoing equipment support.

Skills & Qualifications:

Communication & Sales Ability:

• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust and explain technical topics clearly.
• Proven track record in sales (minimum 3–5 years), preferably in industrial equipment or engineered systems.
• Self-starter with resilience, drive, and the ability to thrive in a field-based role.

Technical Background:

• Strong mechanical and/or electrical knowledge—able to understand how complex machinery works.
• Familiarity with system components, controls, and applications in industrial environments.

Education & Experience:

• Preferred: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• Alternative: Two years of college with strong technical sales background.
• Experience: Knowledge of industrial compressors, vacuum systems, or motor control systems is a strong plus.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary: $80,000 - $118,000 (Non-commissioned)
• Comprehensive benefits package including:
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• One of the best 401k's out there
