Sales Engineer – Custom Industrial Equipment
✈️ Minimal Travel (~10–25%, mostly local)
About the Opportunity
A long-established manufacturer of
custom industrial processing equipment
is looking to add a
Sales Engineer
to their team.
This is a
technical, relationship-driven sales role
focused on engineered-to-order equipment—not transactional or high-volume sales. You’ll work closely with customers to understand their processes, develop tailored solutions, and guide projects through a
longer, consultative sales cycle .
The position is open due to an upcoming retirement, creating an opportunity to step into a
stable territory with existing relationships
and build long-term success.
What You’ll Be Doing Technical Sales & Account Management
Build and maintain strong relationships with customers in industrial markets
Identify new business opportunities while supporting existing accounts
Present custom equipment solutions via in-person meetings and virtual presentations
Application & Solution Development
Collaborate with internal engineering to develop
custom equipment solutions
Help customers define specifications and select the right systems
Participate in lab testing and validation when needed
Manage
long, complex sales cycles
(typically 1–6+ months)
Prepare quotes, proposals, and follow-ups
Track opportunities through CRM from initial inquiry to order placement
Business Development & Reporting
Forecast monthly, quarterly, and annual sales performance
Attend trade shows and customer visits as needed
Generate brand awareness and interest in engineered solutions
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of
sales experience
(industrial or technical preferred)
Experience with
capital equipment, machinery, or process systems
is a plus
Strong
mechanical aptitude
(hands-on or technical background preferred)
Ability to understand how systems and components work together
Comfortable managing multiple opportunities in a long sales cycle
Self-motivated with strong organization and follow-through
Who This Role is Ideal For ✔ Someone who enjoys
consultative, technical sales
✔ Prefers a
relationship-driven environment
over high-pressure sales
✔ Values
stability and long-term career growth
✔ Likes working on
custom, engineered solutions
Compensation & Structure
Commission: ~2.25% on equipment + additional opportunities on other product lines
Uncapped earning potential
Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, PTO
Why This Role Stands Out
Stable company with
long-tenured sales team
Non-aggressive, relationship-based sales environment
Highly engineered, custom product line
Opportunity to build
long-term customer partnerships
