Regional Sales Representative - Industrial

Regional Sales Representative – Industrial Equipment

Chicago Region | Remote | Territory Travel

A well-established industrial manufacturer is seeking an experienced Regional Sales Representative to develop and grow business throughout the Illinois region and surrounding territory.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys getting into manufacturing plants, building relationships, understanding equipment challenges, and developing technical solutions — not sitting behind a desk waiting for leads.

What You'll Do

• Develop new business with manufacturers, OEMs, industrial end users, and other heavy-industry customers.
• Build relationships with plant managers, maintenance and reliability teams, engineers, purchasing, and operations leadership.
• Identify opportunities for engineered industrial equipment, replacement components, repair/rebuild services, and technical solutions.
• Grow existing accounts while actively opening new doors.
• Visit customer facilities and work with internal engineering and manufacturing teams to develop solutions.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of industrial B2B sales experience.
• Demonstrated success developing new business.
• Experience selling engineered products, industrial equipment, power transmission, rotating equipment, bearings, motors, drives, or related mechanical solutions.
• Comfortable walking a plant floor and having technical conversations.
• Willingness to travel regularly throughout the territory.

Compensation includes competitive base salary, uncapped commission, vehicle allowance, expenses, and benefits.

If you're successful selling into industrial and manufacturing environments and enjoy developing business face-to-face, I'd like to talk.
