• Building and managing customer relationships across engineering, operations, maintenance, purchasing, and leadership teams.
• Identifying new opportunities through prospecting, networking, referrals, trade shows, and supplier partnerships.

• Staying current on industry trends, products, applications, and competitive developments.
• Supporting customer satisfaction through responsive communication and post-sale follow-up.

Candidates should have an associate degree in a technical, engineering, business, or related field, with a bachelor’s degree preferred. We are looking for professionals with 2 to 5 years of experience in technical sales, sales engineering, application engineering, business development, or related industrial markets.

Successful candidates will possess strong communication and relationship-building skills, technical aptitude, organizational ability, and a passion for helping customers solve complex challenges. Experience with CRM systems, proficiency in business technology tools, and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential.
