Who We Are
At UE Systems we believe that every person, regardless of their industry, company size, experience, or budget, should have the tools and support to help their facilities operate more efficiently, reliably, and safely. We do this by providing a portfolio of ultrasound solutions designed to be versatile and simple to use.

Since 1973, we have helped thousands of customers across the world prevent equipment failures, identify energy losses, and return home safe to their families. We are continuing to grow as we build a more disciplined, globally connected operating system to support our customers and our next stage of growth.

About the Role
We are seeking a technically credible, hunter-minded Reliability Sales Manager to rebuild and grow UE Systems’ presence across the Southeast. This person will own the territory, create new pipeline, expand strategic customer relationships, and help maintenance and reliability teams translate ultrasound technology into measurable improvements in uptime, safety, energy efficiency, and asset performance.

This role is ideal for a field-based seller who understands industrial maintenance and reliability, enjoys opening new accounts, and can move comfortably from the plant floor to the executive conference room. The strongest candidates will combine disciplined territory management with the technical confidence to conduct discovery, demonstrate solutions, and build a credible business case for change.

As the Reliability Sales Manager - Southeast, you will be accountable for the full commercial cycle within your assigned territory: territory planning, prospecting, customer discovery, demonstrations, solution design, proposals, forecasting, closing, implementation support, and long-term account development. You will work closely with Sales Leadership, Marketing, Training, Inside Sales, and technical resources to deliver a consistent customer experience and profitable growth. Ideally this position will be based in the AL-MS-LA area in order to service the Southeast Region.

Our People
They Own Their Day: We do not micro-manage. Our team understands the outcome, makes disciplined decisions, and communicates early when priorities, risks, or constraints change.

They Believe in a Team Approach: No one is expected to be a master of everything. We rely on each other, bring different strengths to the table, and build better systems together.

They Always Look Through a Customer Lens: Every process we build should make it easier to serve the customer accurately, reliably, and on time.
