Solutions Specialist - Outside Sales- Boots on the Ground North Florida

Davis Industrial is hiring a Solutions Specialist to own our North Florida territory.

This is a boots on the ground position covering the North Florida region focused from Jacksonville to Tallahassee and south to the Palatka and Gainesville areas. Cement plants, Paper Mills, Recycling Centers, quarries, asphalt producers, block and gypsum manufacturers, distribution centers and port terminals. Anywhere material moves on a conveyor belt.

You are who maintenance managers call when a conveyor is costing them money. You will walk their systems, find wear before it becomes a breakdown, and come back with a solution — belt, splice, components, fabrication, or a crew on site. You will not know conveyors on day one; we will teach you that part. You will have inside sales, estimating, fabrication and a 24/7 service group behind you.

Here is why it is a good territory to sell in: our customers cannot afford downtime, and when they call, we show up- 24/7. When you make a promise, the company behind you keeps it. We are not the cheapest and we do not compete that way — you will sell as a problem solver, not a price list.

There is an established book of business, real room to grow, and it is yours to run.

What we offer

• Generous base salary plus uncapped commission on what you sell
• Company vehicle, fuel card, phone, laptop and company credit card
• Company-paid medical, plus dental, vision, life, disability, 401(k), PTO and profit sharing
• Hands-on training in conveyor systems, products and applications
• Direct access to ownership, and the resources behind you to say yes to your customers

What this job is not

• It’s not a desk job. You’ll climb conveyors, catwalks and structures over 200 feet, on uneven ground, in Florida heat. Lifting 75+ lbs comes with it.
• It’s not 8-to-5. Plants run around the clock. When a customer is down, they call you — nights, weekends, holidays. Your family needs to be on board with that, not just you.
• It’s not a lead-fed role. Nobody hands you appointments. You build the day yourself.
• It’s not a big-company job. We’re family-run. Leaner benefits than a Fortune 500, cameras in the company trucks, and decisions made fast by people whose cell numbers you’ll have. Some people love that. Some don’t. Better to know now.
