Help troubleshoot and escalate issues alongside Service and Technical teams
Service Coordination

Support warranty documentation and post-install reporting
Learning & Growth (Sales Track)
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

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
1st Round: Video interview (Teams)
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.
