This role is focused on developing new business by working directly with customers who require custom-designed parts and production capabilities. The position is ideal for someone who understands how to sell a manufacturing process, not just a standard product.

- Engage customers to understand project requirements and present custom manufacturing solutions
- Work closely with internal engineering and production teams to support design and feasibility discussions

- Represent the company at industry events and trade shows
(Core responsibilities aligned with prospecting, quoting, customer development, and technical consultation expectations from the role)
What They’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience selling within a specialized metal manufacturing environment
- Strong preference for candidates with experience in custom profile-based or process-driven sales
- Proven ability to generate new business (hunter mindset)
- Comfortable discussing technical requirements with customers and internal teams
- Experience selling into construction, building products, or related industries
- Ability to manage a multi-state territory with regular travel
Compensation
- Base salary: $60K – $220K+ (dependent on experience)
- Uncapped commission structure
- Full benefits package
Additional Notes
- This is a true new business role — not an account management position

- Internal engineering and technical support teams are in place to assist with custom project development
