Who We’re Looking For
You likely come from:
Industrial B2B sales
Manufacturing services
Fabrication, coating, machining, or metal finishing
You bring:
3+ years of outside industrial or manufacturing sales experience
Hunter mentality — ability to open doors and win new production work
Comfort speaking with engineers, production managers, and sourcing teams
Ability to understand parts, drawings, specs, and volumes
Existing manufacturing relationships (preferred)
Valid driver’s license and ability to access secure/government facilities
If you want to sell real manufacturing work — not small job-shop quotes — this is your opportunity.
