Key Responsibilities:

• Identify, pursue, and secure new business opportunities within key markets including laboratory, aerospace, industrial heat treatment, and R&D sectors.

• Manage and grow relationships with customers to drive repeat business and brand loyalty.

• Conduct on-site customer visits, technical presentations, and equipment demonstrations at trade shows or customer facilities.

• Collaborate with internal teams — engineering, customer service, and production — to ensure accurate technical solutions and timely communication.

• Develop and maintain territory sales plans, forecasts, and regular reporting through CRM and Infor systems.

• Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and pricing to identify growth opportunities.

• Represent Thermcraft at industry events, trade shows, and conferences with a professional and proactive presence.

• Serve as a customer advocate internally to ensure satisfaction and build long-term partnerships.

Requirements

• Technical Sales, or equivalent experience.

• Minimum 3–5 years of experience in industrial or technical sales (thermal processing, instrumentation, or manufacturing preferred).

• Proven ability to develop new businesses and maintain key accounts.

• Strong technical aptitude and understanding of engineered products or systems.

• Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.

• Proficient with Microsoft Office, CRM tools (Infor experience preferred), and digital communication platforms.
