Underground Utilities Sales Representative

Austin, TX | Field-Based with Regional Travel | Confidential Search

A well-established distributor in the waterworks and underground utilities industry is looking to add a Sales Representative to grow their footprint in the Austin market. This is a hands-on, relationship-first role for someone who wants to be in front of contractors and municipalities, not behind a desk.

What You'd Be Doing

You'd own the sales process from start to finish — spotting opportunities early, quoting jobs, following orders through to completion, and staying close to customers on pipe, valves, fittings, hydrants, and other underground utility products. Over time, the goal is to build out a territory that's genuinely yours.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain relationships with contractors, municipal buyers, and other project stakeholders
• Represent and sell a full line of waterworks products, including pipe, valves, fittings, and hydrants
• Handle quoting, order follow-through, and on-the-ground project support
• Hunt for new business across the territory while managing existing accounts
• Keep an active, organized pipeline of opportunities

What They're Looking For

• Background in waterworks, utility distribution, or construction sales is preferred
• Someone who thrives working independently in the field and managing their own territory
• An existing book of business in the space is a plus, but the client will also consider strong entry-level or trainee candidates

Why This Role

This is a chance to step into a growing territory with an established distributor, build relationships that last, and see the direct impact of your work on real projects — with strong earning potential and a lot of autonomy in how you run your day.
