• Work closely with engineering, operations, customer service, and international sales teams.

• Provide technical guidance and product support throughout the sales process.

• Maintain accurate records of customer activity, opportunities, and forecasts.

• Develop strong knowledge of the company’s products, applications, and target markets.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

• Strong interest in transitioning into technical sales, business development, or account management.

• Mechanical aptitude and the ability to understand industrial products and applications.

• Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and nontechnical audiences.

• Strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills.

• Self-motivated, commercially minded, and comfortable initiating conversations with prospective customers.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to work effectively across multiple teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• One or more years of experience in mechanical engineering, applications engineering, manufacturing, instrumentation, or industrial sales.

• Exposure to technical products, engineered equipment, fluid systems, industrial components, or related applications.

• Experience preparing technical quotations or supporting customer-facing projects.

• Familiarity with CRM systems and sales-pipeline management.

Compensation is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
