• Work closely with internal engineering and production teams to support design and feasibility discussions

(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
