About the Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, family-owned industrial machinery manufacturer that designs highly engineered, custom automation solutions for customers across North America. The company operates like a tight-knit team, values long-term relationships, and is led by visionary ownership with a strong track record of growth.

This role sits at the intersection of sales, service, and project execution and is ideal for someone early in their career who enjoys working with customers, coordinating moving parts, and wants a clear path into technical sales over time.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Direct exposure to capital equipment projects from order through installation
  • Clear growth path into technical sales and larger deal ownership
  • Small-company environment where your impact is visible and valued
  • Family-oriented culture with leadership access and mentorship
  • Opportunity to learn complex machinery and automation systems
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Support the Sales team throughout the full order lifecycle—from order entry through installation and customer acceptance
  • Coordinate communication between Sales, Service, Engineering, and Operations
  • Assist with scheduling installations, service visits, and customer meetings
  • Maintain accurate project documentation, timelines, and status updates
Customer Communication
  • Act as a primary point of contact for customers regarding project timelines and installation scheduling
  • Communicate clearly to set expectations and provide updates
  • Help troubleshoot and escalate issues alongside Service and Technical teams
Service Coordination
  • Work closely with Service teams to align schedules, resources, and customer needs
  • Track service-related issues and ensure timely follow-up
  • Support warranty documentation and post-install reporting
  • Develop a strong technical understanding of custom machinery and customer applications
  • Learn sales processes, customer qualification, and solution positioning
  • Participate in customer calls, site visits, and installations to build technical and commercial confidence
What We’re Looking For Must-Haves
  • 1+ year of experience in project coordination, service coordination, inside sales, or customer-facing roles within manufacturing or industrial environments
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects or orders at once
  • Clear, confident written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable learning technical products and systems
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word); ERP/CRM experience is a plus
  • Willingness to travel up to 20%
Nice-to-Haves
  • Exposure to industrial equipment, automation, CNC, or capital equipment environments
  • Experience supporting sales or field service teams
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field
  • Strong interest in growing into a technical sales role within 2–3 years
Ideal Personality Fit
  • Go-getter mentality with a desire to grow into a high-earning sales role
  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following up
  • Willing to put in the extra effort when projects demand it
  • Thrives in a smaller, collaborative, fast-moving organization
Interview Process
  • 2nd Round:
    On-site interview

If you’re looking for a role where you can learn the technical side of industrial machinery, gain customer-facing experience, and build toward a long-term sales career, this is a strong opportunity to consider.
