Description
Are you paying attention to the revolution in manufacturing, happening right now? Every company you talk to needs workers and can’t find people to hire. These companies need to automate but very few know how to automate successfully.
We need people who can solve automation problems for these companies, as well as communicate the solution in ways that the customer can understand and propose the solution in ways that the customer can justify spending money.
Melton Machine & Control Company (MMCC) has been solving automation issues for companies for over 50 years. Today there has never been a better time to be an expert in automation. MMCC has 60+ engineers to design solutions and an equally strong group of robot programming experts to build and install the solution. What we need is Sales Engineers who can meet with customers to solve problems. This is the first person our customers meet face to face so you need to be prepared, knowledgeable and be a great communicator. This person will meet 20 customers a month and then work with application engineers on the sales team to develop a solution that meets all the needs of the customer. You will be the “inventor” of the solution, the primary negotiator, the lead person to convert the solution into a job for engineering and manufacturing to execute. In automation there are hundreds of ways for a project to go awry. You will be the leader keeping the project focused on a solution.

And success is completely up to you. We have customers waiting for us to help them. And countless numbers of customers that don’t know us yet. Is it a hyperbole to say this is the opportunity of a lifetime if it’s true?
