About the Organization

The Role: A Strategic "Farmer"

Key Responsibilities

• Relationship Management: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for steel mills across the Midwest territory.
• Technical Consultation: Conduct site visits to "hot end" environments to identify equipment wear, campaign life extensions, and safety improvement opportunities.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Industry Background: Significant experience in Blast Furnace operations or "Hot End" steel mill environments (working in areas where steel is molten or being formed) is highly preferred.
• Mechanical Aptitude: You must be mechanically inclined. While an engineering degree is not required, you must be able to "speak the language" of a machine shop and a heavy industrial plant.
• Sales Profile: Proven success in industrial B2B sales. We are looking for a professional who prioritizes building long-term trust over short-term "closings."
• Location: Must be based within the Great Lakes industrial corridor (Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, or Illinois).
• Career Outlook: We are looking for a veteran professional seeking a "forever home"—someone who wants to grow with a stable organization and retire within the company family.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: $120k–$140k base (flexibility available for the right subject matter expert).
• Incentives: Performance-based bonus and commission structure.
• Retirement Security: In addition to a 401(k) with a match, we offer a rare Pension Plan with a substantial company match—a primary driver of our high employee retention.
• Tools for Success: Company vehicle provided, along with comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life insurance.
• Stability: Join a team where the culture is backed by nearly two centuries of industrial success.
