Technical Sales Engineer

💼 Technical Sales Engineer

📍 Hybrid-Remote, Kansas City Area

💰 $80,000 – $110,000 + Bonus (OTE: $150,000+)

Are you working in engineering, applications, project management or technical sales within bulk material handling or processing equipment… but know you could be doing more commercially?

This could be the opportunity that changes your career.

We’re working with a well-established, privately held bulk material handling systems company that is looking to hire and develop the next generation of sales talent within the business.

This is not a “throw you a phone and tell you to sell” type of role.

You’ll work closely with a senior industry expert who is approaching retirement over the next few years, giving you direct mentorship, hands-on training and real exposure to customers, applications and complex system sales.

If you have the technical foundation and the right attitude, they will teach you the commercial side.

The Company:

Our client designs and delivers engineered bulk material handling systems across a variety of industries.

This is a turnkey, consultative business focused on solving customer problems through engineered solutions - not simply selling catalog equipment.

They have an excellent reputation in the market, long-standing customer relationships and a team-first culture built around trust, integrity and doing things properly.

What You’ll Do:

• Learn the company’s systems, applications and customer processes
• Work alongside senior sales leadership and experienced engineers
• Support and eventually lead customer meetings and sales calls
• Develop relationships with plastics processors and manufacturers
• Help identify new opportunities and grow existing accounts
• Travel to customer sites and spend meaningful time in the field
• Progress into a full technical sales leadership role over time

What They’re Looking For:

• Background in bulk material handling, processing equipment or capital equipment
• Could be coming from engineering, applications, project engineering, service or technical sales
• Strong communication skills and commercial curiosity
• Someone who enjoys solving problems and working directly with customers
• Humility, work ethic and willingness to learn

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

A lot of companies say they want to train people.

Very few actually invest the time.

This company already has the mentor in place.

For the right person, this is a genuine opportunity to learn from someone with decades of industry experience before eventually taking ownership of a highly valuable customer base and territory.
