Role Description

This is a true outside sales role for someone who prefers being in the field over sitting at a desk. You will spend most days traveling within your territory, visiting industrial facilities, job sites, and customer locations across Ventura County — starting at Santa Clarita and covering everything west, including Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Oxnard, and Ventura. Success in this role comes from face-to-face relationship building, consistent territory coverage, and the ability to open doors with new accounts. If you enjoy autonomy, being on the road, and building business through persistence and follow-through, you'll do well here.
