As our Territory Sales Representative, you’ll work directly with customers in forestry, mining, pulp and paper, energy, and manufacturing to help improve uptime, efficiency, and safety through automation and rotating equipment solutions.

• Prepare and deliver technical proposals, demos, and ROI-based solutions tailored to customer needs.
• Support customers with product selection, troubleshooting, and post-sale service.
• Maintain your sales funnel and pipeline through our CRM/ERP systems.

What You Bring

• 2–3 years of experience in industrial automation, rotating equipment, or technical solution sales.
• Familiarity with pneumatic and electrical systems — an asset.

• Self-motivated and entrepreneurial, with strong problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel).
• Willingness to travel within the region and occasionally to the U.S. for training.
