About The Position

At Refined Technologies, we believe operating with an eternal purpose fuels excellence. This guides everything we do; it gives us a purpose that is greater than ourselves. RTI is the leader in the chemical cleaning segment of the refining industry, providing patented chemistries, processes, and equipment for cleaning and treating units during shutdowns. While focused on clients, we are fueled by our mission to: Honor God Always, Help People Develop, Pursue Excellence, and Earn a Profit. We are a fast-paced, dynamic, and entrepreneurial-minded organization full of servant-hearted leaders. We’re currently growing our team of Artisans with a Business Development Manager to support our wholly owned subsidiary, BioChem Systems. This role drives national growth of BioChem’s industrial cleaning and solvent replacement solutions. This role focuses on industrial and commercial customers across the region, excluding direct refinery operations. Approximately 60 percent of effort is centered on new customer acquisition and 40 percent on expanding existing named accounts. The sales cycle is short and transactional, often ranging from days to a few weeks, and frequently includes on-site demonstrations and plant trials. We win business by proving our solutions outperform existing chemical programs through real-world demonstrations and results. This role requires a disciplined, high-activity approach to prospecting, follow-up, and opportunity advancement. This role is designed for professionals who want their earnings aligned with their results.
