Automotive Engine Sales Representative

Job Description

Job Description

Big Bear Engine Company is looking for an experienced sales representative to field incoming engine and parts calls, assist customers in completing purchases and interface with vendors to finalize transactions. At Big Bear Engine Company we specialize in medium and heavy duty diesel engine replacement for the construction, oil and gas, agriculture, over-the-road trucking, government and equipment rental industries. We offer both component built and remanufactured long block engines as well as related parts to businesses that have a down engine in the field. Our engines are found in variety of equipment including excavators, wheel loaders, skid steers, compactors, street sweepers, forklifts, wood chippers and more. Brands we specialize in are Caterpillar ®, Cummins ®, Detroit Diesel ®, John Deere ®, Mack ®, Komastu ® and Perkins ®. In addition to heavy duty engine replacement the job will also require interfacing with the light duty enthusiast market. These customers are hobbyists looking to drop a diesel engine into a classic car, hot-rod or rock crawler project. The ideal candidate will have a working knowledge of internal combustion engines, transmissions, fuel systems and ancillary parts however expert level skills are not required.

We offer an extensive training period which will help guide you through how to find the right replacement engine for the customer. Ideally this is a sales position first and we are looking for someone with a varied sales background, (a natural salesperson) vs. someone who may have worked in the automotive industry that isn’t necessarily sales focused. We can teach product knowledge but we can’t teach charisma and a natural Type-A personality. Once you get going you’ll find taking diesel engine replacement calls is fairly straightforward and there is little pushback from the customer. These are B2B customers with a piece of equipment down and need a replacement engine ASAP. Most sales are very quick happening within a day or two of first contact.

We are a small but growing company and as such creating a culture of on-the job happiness is important to us. We offer a brand new office/warehouse space in Parker, CO, flexible hours, work from home days, health insurance, 401k and paid vacation. We are all about keep the working environment flexible while being focused on customer satisfaction and growth. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed on the job and know that if you need to take some time off because you’re burnt out or spend time with family that it is okay by us.

If you’re passionate about engines and excited about growing your career we’d love to hear from you.
