About the Role
Industrial Sales Rep / Territory Manager (Electric Motor & Component Repair)
Base Hub: Shelby, NC / Gastonia, NC Area
Territory: Southern I-85 Corridor / SC Border Region (Roughly a 100-mile radius)
Salary: $55,000 - $90,000 Base (OTE $120k - $150k+)
Industry: Rotating Equipment / Precision Electrical & Automation
Level: All levels of experience will be considered
Position Type: Permanent / Full-Time
Perks: Company vehicle, fuel card, and full mobile office setup
The Opportunity
We have partnered with an established industrial service and electro-mechanical repair provider with a strong regional footprint. The team operates with the agility and fast-paced culture of a local specialist, backed by solid corporate stability and technical resources.
This role is purpose-built for a self-motivated, high-stamina industrial hunter who thrives on being out in the field. We are looking for a professional who wants to drive new business across core regional manufacturing markets like heavy manufacturing, automated processing, packaging, and regional industrial plants. To help our team build early momentum, the incoming rep will inherit a base of active accounts, backed by full hands-on technical training and a local repair facility.
Sales Benefits & Professional Perks
Inherited Accounts: Immediate access to an established account base to stream revenue while we map and hunt the wider territory.
Full Mobile Office: Fully equipped company vehicle, gas card, and digital tools provided and completely expensed.
High-Turnaround Portfolio: Sell high-demand, 90% service-based rotating equipment services and electro-mechanical component solutions featuring expedited emergency options and highly competitive standard turnaround times.
Technical Backing: Direct alignment with a regional technical service facility supporting your territory to sync with customer service and technical teams.
Candidate Requirements
The Mindset: Self-motivated, organized self-starters driven by autonomy, willing to start early, and motivated by field-based business development rather than fixed hours.
Industrial Sales Experience: Proven B2B track record. Experience in electric motor sales is highly preferred, but we will strongly consider top industrial hunters from Rotating Equipment, Power Transmission/Bearings, Precision Electrical, or Fluid Power/Hydraulics (cylinder focus).
Territory Logistics: Must maintain a clean driving record and be comfortable splitting time between aggressive field prospecting and a couple of days a week at the Hickory shop to sync with production.
Solution-Oriented: Ability to navigate industrial plants, build relationships with maintenance managers, and identify high-turnaround repair solutions that keep plants running.
Key Responsibilities
New Business Acquisition: Actively hunt for new industrial clients within a 100-mile radius of the regional hub through aggressive territory management.
Shop & Service Collaboration: Spend dedicated time weekly at the Hickory shop to align field efforts with customer service, ensuring seamless delivery on repair commitments.
Account Development: Maximize the potential of inherited accounts while consistently mapping and breaking into new manufacturing and processing facilities.
CRM & Pipeline Management: Maintain accurate data, log field activity, and manage the sales process from initial component pick-up through final delivery and invoicing.
