  • Influence specifications with engineers, contractors, and end users early in the project cycle.

  • Support quoting, positioning, and competitive differentiation to win project-based opportunities.

  • Develop territory plans, forecasts, and pipeline management using CRM.

  • Provide regular market intelligence on competitors, trends, and customer needs.

  • Collaborate closely with Market Managers, Engineering, and Applications teams.

  • Travel within the region 60–70%, including overnight trips.

What You Bring

  • 3+ years of experience in industrial pumps, rotating equipment, or fluid handling equipment sales.

  • Strong experience working through distribution, OEM, or EPC channels.

  • Success managing multi-state territories and long, project-driven sales cycles.

  • Ability to balance technical and commercial conversations with engineers and decision-makers.

  • Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently from a home office.

  • Based near a major airport for efficient regional travel.

Why Ruhrpumpen?

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commissions

  • Remote flexibility with strong field presence

  • Opportunity to influence major industrial and infrastructure projects

  • Global brand with entrepreneurial culture

  • Collaborative team with strong technical support

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
