About the Opportunity
If you’re a technical sales professional who enjoys building long-term customer relationships, solving operational challenges, and representing respected product lines, this role is worth exploring.

You will step into an established book of 100+ existing accounts, giving you a strong foundation from day one.

You’ll represent top manufacturers in instrumentation, electrical, and process control solutions while working closely with inside sales, factory representatives, and long-standing customers across the region.

This is a consultative, relationship-driven sales role that offers territory autonomy, strong internal support, and the stability of an established, family-oriented organization.

What You’ll Do
  • Manage and grow an existing territory with 100+ active accounts, while identifying new business opportunities.
  • Build customer relationships through regular field visits and solution-focused conversations.
  • Identify customer needs, present product options, negotiate effectively, and position INDECO as a trusted single-source provider.
  • Conduct joint field sales calls with manufacturer representatives to strengthen relationships and close opportunities.
  • Collaborate closely with Inside Sales and Customer Support for quotes, follow-up, and customer success.
  • Follow up on manufacturer-provided leads and maintain a strong pipeline.
  • Maintain accurate customer and activity records in the CRM.
  • Represent INDECO at ISA meetings, trade shows, and industry events.
  • Participate in ongoing product training (in-person and virtual) from manufacturing partners.

What You Bring
  • 2–3+ years of B2B technical outside sales experience, ideally in instrumentation, electrical, automation, or combustion controls.
  • Experience with Petrochem or Refinery Plants a major plus.
  • Heavy or light industrial, downstream oil & gas, or commercial experience a plus.
  • Strong listening, problem-solving, and consultative selling skills.
  • Clear and professional communication and presentation abilities.
  • High integrity, disciplined follow-through, and a customer-first mindset.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in the field.
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred (Business, Distribution, Engineering, or related), or equivalent experience.
  • Valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and reliable personal vehicle.

Why INDECO
  • Competitive base salary + commission on gross profit
  • Company-provided laptop and cell phone
  • Comprehensive benefits package including:
    • Medical with HSA
    • Life & Long-Term Disability
    • Optional Dental, Vision, and Short-Term Disability
