Regional Sales Manager

Regional Sales Manager

The Regional Sales Manager (RSM) serves as a strategic, client-facing leader responsible for managing key relationships, guiding clients through complex flushing requirements, and ensuring Purge Rite is positioned as their trusted advisor. This role owns the entire pre‑contract lifecycle—from qualifying new opportunities and aligning scope with engineering and estimation, to steering proposal strategy, coordinating internal and external meetings, and leading disciplined follow‑up efforts to secure awards.

The RSM maintains pipeline visibility, navigates pricing and contract discussions, and proactively engages the winning mechanical contractor to reinforce Purge Rite’s value and prevent self‑performance. By staying informed on industry trends, overseeing new‑client onboarding, and handing off fully executed contracts to Project Management, the RSM ensures clients receive a seamless, consistent, and high‑quality experience from first contact through project launch.
