Process Sales Engineer


Build a Career Where Your Success Creates Your Future


What if every sale you closed helped build not only your customer's success—but your own future? At DCI, Inc., you're more than an employee — you become an owner.


As a 100% employee-owned company, every person at DCI shares in the success we create together through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). When the company grows, our employee-owners benefit. It's one of the many reasons talented people choose to build long-term careers here.


For more than 70 years, DCI has been a trusted manufacturer of engineered-to-order stainless steel process equipment for the food and dairy industries. From storage vessels and mix tanks to process skids, agitation systems, and complete sanitary process solutions, our equipment helps some of the world's leading manufacturers produce safe, high-quality products.


We're looking for a Process Sales Engineer to manage a multi-state territory and develop long-term relationships with food and dairy manufacturers. This is not a transactional sales role. We're seeking a consultative sales professional who understands sanitary processing systems, enjoys solving complex customer challenges, and thrives on managing long sales cycles from concept through project completion.


If you've sold capital equipment, stainless steel process systems, or fluid handling solutions into food and dairy facilities, we'd like to talk with you.


What You'll Do

As a Process Sales Engineer, you'll partner with plant engineers, process engineers, operations leaders, project managers, consulting engineers, and executive decision-makers to identify opportunities and develop customized process solutions.


What We're Looking For

Successful candidates typically have experience selling engineered capital equipment into sanitary processing environments and enjoy building trusted relationships over lengthy sales cycles.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Five or more years of experience selling engineered capital equipment into the food, dairy, beverage, or sanitary processing industries.
  • Experience managing complex sales cycles ranging from six to eighteen months.Experience working directly with plant engineers, process engineers, operations leaders, purchasing teams, and consulting engineering firms.
  • Proven success developing new business while managing existing customer relationships.
  • Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand customer processes and recommend engineered solutions.
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Food Science, Business, or a related discipline preferred. Equivalent industry experience selling technical capital equipment will also be considered.
