Role Overview

The Territory Sales Manager takes ownership of an established multi-state territory for a growing upfitter and installer of service trucks, utility trucks, truck-mounted (mobile) cranes, and commercial trailers, deepening existing relationships and opening new ones across construction, utility, heavy equipment, aggregate and mining, and road-building markets.
