About The Position

In this role, you’ll partner with manufacturing customers to help them solve real-world challenges and improve their operations. By building strong relationships and applying your technical knowledge, you’ll grow sales, expand our presence in the market, and represent our supplier partners with confidence. Success in this role comes from a mix of curiosity, problem-solving, and a genuine interest in how things work. We’re looking for someone with a strong mechanical and technical foundation, ideally with experience or education related to fluid power, automation, or motion control. A degree in fields such as Fluid Power Technology, Automation/Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering is preferred — but hands-on experience and practical knowledge in these areas are just as valuable. If you enjoy understanding how systems work, troubleshooting challenges, and applying that knowledge in a customer-facing role, you’ll do well here.
