Regional Sales Manager

The Regional Sales Manager (RSM) drives revenue growth and expands market presence across the Western United States by managing key client relationships and advancing complex sales opportunities from initial engagement through award and handoff to Project Management. This execution‑focused, field‑facing role works closely with estimating, engineering, and project teams to secure new work and requires a high level of independence, discipline, and professional maturity due to the size of the territory and remote leadership support. The ideal candidate is a self‑directed sales professional with industrial construction experience, strong follow‑through, and the ability to confidently represent the organization across a large geographic region. Key Responsibilities Territory & Opportunity Management Own and manage assigned sales opportunities throughout the U.S. market.

Pursue new client relationships and maintain strong visibility in targeted industrial markets. Monitor market activity, competitor presence, and upcoming projects relevant to industrial cooling towers, EPC scopes, and related services. Attend industry events, trade associations, site visits, and client meetings as required. Internal Collaboration Partner closely with estimating, engineering, and technical teams to develop competitive, compliant proposals. Coordinate internal stakeholders to ensure timely responses to client requests and proposal submissions. Ensure pre-award requirements are completed so awarded projects are “project-ready” upon handoff. Pipeline Reporting & Process Discipline Maintain accurate and timely CRM records, including activity tracking, opportunity stages, and follow-up cadence. Provide regular pipeline updates, forecasts, and territory insights to the Director of Sales. Support continuous improvement of sales tools, processes, and best practices. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Distribution, Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred, but equivalent experience will be considered.

Proven experience managing complex, high-value sales opportunities from pursuit through award. Strong ability to work independently with limited day-to-day supervision.
