As we continue to grow, we are investing in the next generation of our sales organization. We are seeking a Territory Sales Engineer who will serve as the face of Vogelsang in an assigned region, building distributor partnerships, engaging end-users, and developing into a full Regional Sales Manager over time. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between engineering and commercial aptitude: someone who can earn the respect of industrial distributors and end-users through technical confidence, while demonstrating the coachability and drive to grow into a seasoned sales leader.  In this role, you will manage an assigned territory through industrial distributors and direct end-user engagement, applying technical knowledge to recommend pump and process equipment solutions across a range of industrial and municipal applications.

 Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and grow an assigned territory through distributor relationships and direct end-user engagement.
• Learn and execute channel-selling strategies, building productive partnerships with industrial distributors.
• Apply technical knowledge to understand customer applications and propose appropriate pump and process equipment solutions.
• Maintain a disciplined CRM practice using Salesforce as the primary tool for pipeline management, activity tracking, and forecasting.
• Participate in training programs and product education to build deep expertise in our pump and process equipment portfolio.
• Support key account management under the guidance of senior sales leadership.
• Develop market presence across target sectors including biogas, water/wastewater, chemical processing, food waste, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing.
• Provide technical presentations and product demonstrations to distributors and customers.
• Report on territory activity, market intelligence, and pipeline progress in coordination with management

What we are looking for:

• Customer-facing confidence:  the ability to engage credibly with industrial distributors and end-users from day one.
• Coachability and learning agility: the willingness and capacity to develop new skills and adapt quickly in dynamic sales situations.
• Commercial curiosity and sales drive: an emerging interest in consultative, value-based selling rather than transactional or commodity-focused approaches.
• Distributor channel awareness: the ability to learn how to effectively sell through and partner with industrial distribution networks.
• Willingness to travel: this is an outside sales role requiring extensive travel within an assigned territory.
• CRM fluency:  demonstrated experience with Salesforce or a clear ability and willingness to adopt CRM as a core daily work discipline.
