Automation Sales Engineer

Henry North, Jacksonville, FL, United States


Location:

Jacksonville, FL (hybrid – client-facing, in-market role)

Company Overview We are a leading material handling organization with deep roots as a legacy forklift dealership, now rapidly evolving into a full‑scale automation and systems integration partner. With an established customer base and strong reputation in the market, we are investing heavily in building out our automation division and are looking for a high‑impact player to help lead that charge.

This is an opportunity to step into a business that already has traction in automation and help take it to the next level.

The Opportunity This role is built for someone who wants to do more than just sell.

You will operate as both:

A

tip‑of‑the‑spear sales producer , driving new automation opportunities across existing accounts and net‑new clients

A

builder , helping shape, grow, and define the future of the company’s automation division

If the idea of being a bigger fish in a smaller pond — with real influence on direction, strategy, and growth — excites you, this is worth a look.

What You’ll Be Selling You’ll focus on consultative, solution‑based selling across a range of warehouse automation technologies, including:

AMRs and AGVs

ASRS (Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems)

VLMs (Vertical Lift Modules)

Conveyor and sortation systems

Broader integrated material handling solutions

This organization takes an

agnostic, integrator‑first approach

— no manufacturing constraints, just the ability to deliver the right solution for the customer.

Key Responsibilities

Identify, develop, and close automation opportunities within existing accounts and new prospects

Leverage current relationships while also building pipeline from scratch

Lead consultative sales cycles from discovery through design, proposal, and close

Collaborate with internal and external engineering resources to scope and deliver solutions

Act as a trusted advisor to customers on optimizing warehouse operations through automation

Help define go‑to‑market strategy, partnerships, and long‑term growth plans for the automation division

Stay current on trends and advancements across the automation and systems integration landscape

What We’re Looking For

Proven success selling industrial automation or systems integration solutions

Strong understanding of warehouse operations and how automation drives efficiency

Experience with technologies such as AMRs, AGVs, ASRS, VLMs, or conveyor systems

Ability to operate both as a hunter and a strategic builder

Comfort navigating complex, multi‑stakeholder sales cycles

Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to help build something, not just maintain it

Why This Role

Opportunity to help build and shape a growing automation business within an established company

Strong existing customer base to leverage, with significant white space for growth

Flexibility to bring the right solutions to clients without being tied to a single manufacturer

High visibility and impact within the organization

Compensation

Competitive base salary (typically in the $140K–$170K range for experienced talent)

Commission/Bonus with clear path to $250K+ earnings

Strong upside for top performers and builders

If you’ve been in the automation space and know what it takes to make a warehouse hum — and you’re ready to step into a role where you can actually build something — this could be a strong fit.
