Mid-State Sales•Columbus, OH

5d•Onsite

About The Position

Mid-State Sales is looking for an Account Representative who isn’t afraid to get their hands a little dirty, solve real problems, and be the go-to person for customers in a fast-moving, industrial environment. We’re not a call center. We’re a fluid conveyance manufacturer that’s been serving customers since 1969. Our team works directly with hydraulic hose and tube assemblies—supporting customers who depend on us to keep their operations running. If you’re the kind of person who likes figuring things out, staying busy, and being part of a tight-knit team—keep reading. This role sits at the center of everything, such as customers, sales, purchasing, and production. This isn’t a plug-and-play role. You’ll go through 2–3 months of hands-on training in our shop to learn the products, processes, and how everything connects. That investment sets you up for long-term success. We’re looking for someone who wants a career, not just a job. Established, growing company (50+ years strong), tight-knit team, no corporate nonsense, opportunity to grow into sales, operations, or leadership, stable industry with consistent demand. If you want a clean, easy desk job—this isn’t it. If you want to learn a trade, build real skills, and become a key player in a growing company, we want to talk.
