    Job Description

    Technical Sales Representative

    \n


    \n

    Overview

    \n

    E5 Incorporated is a technology company pioneering proprietary nano silica-based admixtures for concrete—including E5 Internal Cure, Liquid Fly Ash, Shot Cure, Catalyst, Miracle Aid, Shield, and Protect—engineered to make concrete easier to pump, place, and finish while improving durability, reducing shrinkage, and advancing sustainable construction.

    \n

    We are seeking a Technical Sales Representative with real, hands-on command of concrete materials, admixtures, and finishing practices. You will own technical sales and field support for a defined territory—driving product adoption, specification activity, and revenue growth across contractors, finishers, ready-mix producers, engineers, architects, and DOT stakeholders.

    \n


    \n

    Understand the terrain before you apply. Concrete and construction is a hard-nosed, politically driven, incumbency-protected industry where decisions run on entrenched loyalties, gatekeepers, and specifications written to keep newcomers out. A better product is not enough to win here—you have to out-work and outlast people whose livelihood depends on keeping you out. Closed doors, skepticism, and long sales cycles are not obstacles to the work; they are the work. The people who succeed at E5 expect that fight and relish it.

    \n


    \n

    This role rewards dedication, persistence, and discipline, and it puts the company first. We want people who measure themselves by results, take full ownership without being managed, and come back harder after every no. It is not a comfortable, low-pressure seat, and it is not structured around anyone’s personal convenience. If you are looking for an employer that bends to fit your lifestyle, this is not it. If you are driven to win, want your impact to be unmistakable, and have the grit to crack a market that does not want to change, you will do the best work of your career here.

    \n

    This is an early opportunity to join a company on a steep growth trajectory, where your results are visible and directly tied to the company’s success. Your results here reach beyond the balance sheet: E5’s success directly funds a foundation dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. That mission is earned through performance, not sentiment—the better we sell, the more good this company does.
