Opportunity:

We are seeking an experienced Industrial Sales Representative, with current established customer base in the large municipal or heavy industrial market, to develop and grow our pumping equipment business across central Alabama . This is a territory ownership role focused on large rotating equipment — vertical turbine pumps, horizontal and vertical split-case pumps, end-suction centrifugal pumps, axial flow pumps, and related engineered systems and packages in the industrial market.

The successful candidate will be selling capital equipment into demanding industrial applications, often as part of multi-pump stations, full station rebuilds, or large engineered packages.

You will work directly with end users, consulting engineers, and industrial accounts to specify, quote, and close projects ranging from single pump replacements to rentals.
