Strong work ethic, physical stamina, and the ability to work quickly and efficiently as part of a team are highly valued soft skills. These skills and qualities are essential for maintaining product quality, ensuring safety, and meeting production targets in a fast-paced setting.

Job description

Day in the life

You start the morning walking a protein processing floor, calibrating sensors and verifying a new grinder’s electrical controls. After lunch, you meet the maintenance manager to plan a preventive service, then brief corporate leaders on ROI for upgrading deboning systems. The day wraps with a service call—multimeter in hand—troubleshooting a 480V power issue and recommending the right spare parts to keep production on track.

Role overview

This is a technical, customer-facing sales role ideal for someone moving from maintenance, field service, or industrial operations into outside sales. Prior sales experience is helpful but not required—communication skills, customer service instincts, and hands-on aptitude matter most. You will call on meat and poultry manufacturing plants and corporate offices to sell grinding and size-reduction equipment, deboning systems, spare parts, and service—primarily to end users.

Where you’ll work
  • Location: Northeast, USA (Preferably Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia)
  • Travel: Approximately 50–60% (about 110 travel days per year)
Compensation and upside
  • Base salary: $90,000–$110,000
  • Performance incentive: Eligible for a bonus tied to territory growth and company performance—up to or exceeding 100% of base salary
  • Total potential earnings: $180,000–$220,000 annually with no cap
  • Incentive criteria: Sales goals, travel goals, and overall company growth
What you’ll do
  • Commission and start up new grinding and deboning systems in protein processing environments
  • Perform breakdowns and service maintenance; take a hands-on approach with end users
  • Diagnose and resolve electrical issues; emphasis on electrical over mechanical
  • Use a Fluke multimeter confidently; work at the sensor level (temperature, flow, pressure)
  • Navigate 480V power, pneumatics, and basic hydraulics (deep hydraulics expertise not required)
  • Troubleshoot mechanical problems as needed
  • Engage stakeholders from maintenance teams to corporate leadership
  • Drive territory growth by selling capital equipment, spare parts, and service directly to end users
Minimum qualifications
  • Technical background as a maintenance manager or field technician in protein-related environments
  • Or technical background as a maintenance manager or field technician in non-protein/industrial settings
  • Industrial sales experience
  • Experience with industrial material handling
Preferred qualifications
  • Plant production or maintenance experience (mechanical and/or electrical)
  • Sales experience with grinding and familiarity with grinding proteins
  • Sales experience with grinding or cutting applications in industrial contexts
  • Protein equipment or component sales with a preference for process over packaging
  • Technical sales of equipment or components in food (non-protein), beverage, confectionery, or bakery
Physical demands
  • Lift or carry up to 30 lbs
  • Prolonged sitting; frequent driving
  • Valid driver’s license; ability to travel by car, train, and plane
  • Standing, walking, climbing
  • Bending, twisting, stooping
  • Operate tools and equipment as required
Why you’ll love it here

Since 1981, our company has supported the food processing industry as a leading manufacturer of parts and service. We operate a machine shop focused on quality replacement parts, service, and training. You’ll find a strong culture, competitive pay, a full benefits package, and ample room for advancement—and earnings.
