As a family-owned company, we look beyond short-term moves and work to create a vision that is forward-thinking for our people, our clients, and the world at large. 

Rust Automation & Controls started in 1976 and while we've grown significantly since our humble beginnings, we are still family owned and operated.  We represent best-in-class industrial control manufacturers including Endress+Hauser across more than two million square miles of the Western US. Most of our customers have worked with us for decades and count on our experience and partners to keep their facilities safe, efficient, and productive.

What is the role about? 

Rust Automation & Controls is hiring a small cohort of Outside Sales Engineers. During the first 12 weeks, this position will split time between Salt Lake City with the leadership team and the assigned home territory, where the ideal candidate will ride along with experienced sales professionals, learn the products, and begin setting appointments. This is a full-time role. 

This position serves as a trusted resource for plant engineers selecting flow meters, valves, and other critical components for systems built to perform reliably for decades. The role represents long-standing manufacturing partners and builds customer relationships that position the Outside Sales Engineer as a first call for support and solutions. 

The technical side-loops, valves, control theory, and related concepts-can be learned through time in the field. The ideal candidate brings the harder-to-teach qualities: drive to pursue new business, ability to build strong relationships, and a positive, service-focused mindset. Natural curiosity, strong communication skills, and a preference for engaging directly with customers are more important than a specific major or resume background.

• Maintain a robust CRM database, including accounts, contacts, opportunities, and projects 
• Clearly articulate customer solutions and collaborate with internal teams to ensure effective execution 

What do we expect from you? 

You will have (required): 

• Technical degree or 2-3 years of industrial sales experience (or related field) 
• Willingness and ability to travel locally within the assigned territory up to 90% of the time, including occasional overnight travel 
• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment; candidates based in or near Irvine, CA are highly preferred 

You may have (preferred):  

• Self-motivated with the ability to set ambitious goals and achieve them

What can you expect from us?
