The Opportunity:

Our client is a well-established, privately owned power equipment distributor with more than 60 years in business. They're hiring a Regional Sales Manager to grow an established territory across central/ eastern Iowa and western Illinois (Uncapped Commission).

The Ideal candidate

Essential

• Proven B2B sales success selling mechanical or electrical products, industrial equipment or power solutions.

• Willing to travel around 50% across Iowa and western Illinois, including overnights.

Preferred

• Around 15–20 years of experience with clear career progression.

• A technical, mechanical, electrical or engineering background before moving into sales.
