Regional Sales Manager - Contract Manufacturing
Steel Tubing | Hot-Dip Galvanizing | Metal Fabrication & Assembly
Organization Summary
Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN) is a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology. Established in 1955, the company has been at the forefront of research and development of innovative solutions to meet the food, fuel, fiber and transportation needs of the world's rapidly growing population. Lindsay's irrigation segment includes solutions for agricultural irrigation systems, remote irrigation management and scheduling technology as well as irrigation consulting, design and industrial IoT solutions. Also, a global leader in the transportation industry, Lindsay's infrastructure segment manufactures equipment to improve road safety and keep traffic moving on the world's roads, bridges and tunnels. As a global company, Lindsay is committed to growing a healthy culture worldwide in which diversity is supported and employees are empowered. Lindsay's values (leadership, integrity, collaboration, accountability and respect for others) help drive us to accomplish our mission by working together - because we know we can go farther and faster as a team than we can as individuals.
In addition to its branded product lines, Lindsay operates a Contract Manufacturing business that leverages the company's world-class manufacturing campus and capabilities - including high-frequency electric resistance welded (ERW) steel tubing, one of the region's highest-capacity hot-dip galvanizing operations, and full-service metal fabrication and assembly (cutting, forming, punching, machining, MIG/TIG/robotic welding, coating and finished assembly) - to serve OEMs and industrial customers across agriculture, construction, transportation, energy and general industrial markets.

In this role, you will join a highly collaborative, customer-centric team responsible for growing revenue volume and margins by filling manufacturing capacity with profitable, strategically aligned business.
