A bit about us:

We are the regional sales and service partner for a global leader in industrial fluid system components (fittings, valves, tubing, hose, regulators, and custom assemblies) that help industries move liquids and gases safely and reliably. With decades serving a multi-state Upper Midwest territory, we combine distribution, custom design and assembly, and hands-on technical services under one roof. North Dakota is a key growth market for us, and we are adding engineering horsepower there to give every customer the same high level of service. Our team is collaborative, customer-obsessed, and built on long tenure and a quality-first mindset.

Why join us?

• Team selling model: Engineering, sales, and a dedicated inside account manager work each account together. You bring the technical expertise without owning a book of business or a solo quota.
• Pay tied to team success: A commission target based on department performance and activity, plus a company profit share bonus that every employee is eligible for.
• Vehicle, phone, and fuel covered: vehicle allowance, phone allowance, and a company card
• Growth market: You'll help build our presence in an underpenetrated state with plenty of work already waiting.
• Independence with backup: Run your own projects in the field with a full engineering, sales, and customer service team behind you.
• Development: Formal field engineering certification and ongoing specialized training in oil, gas, and chemical applications.

• Provide technical support, product guidance, and troubleshooting to customer service, sales, and customers.
• Review technical documents, drawings, and fabrication requirements to confirm solutions meet specifications.
• Manage several projects at once, collaborate on project handoffs, and review teammates' work.
• Earn and maintain a manufacturer-backed field engineering certification.

What You'll Bring

• Natural problem solver with curiosity, analytical thinking, and strong organization.
• CAD/SolidWorks a plus.
