About the Role

We are recruiting for an established mechanical seals manufacturer seeking a driven Regional Sales Manager / Outside Sales Representative to develop and grow its Pacific Northwest territory.

This opportunity is ideal for a commercially minded sales professional with experience in rotating equipment, pumps, fluid handling or mechanical seals, who thrives on developing new business and building long-term customer relationships.

The territory has an established customer base, with approximately 75% of sales directly to industrial end users and the remaining 25% through distributors and resellers.

The priority is finding a proactive, technically capable sales professional with a genuine hunter mentality and a proven ability to generate new business.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a territory sales strategy to drive new business and revenue growth.

• Identify, prospect and secure new industrial end-user accounts across the Pacific Northwest.

• Manage and expand existing customer relationships while identifying additional sales opportunities.

• Sell technical products and solutions within the rotating equipment, mechanical seals and fluid handling markets.

• Develop relationships with plant managers, maintenance teams, reliability engineers and procurement professionals.

• Support and develop distributor and reseller relationships.

• Conduct customer site visits, technical presentations and product demonstrations.

• Identify customer challenges and recommend commercially and technically appropriate solutions.

• Maintain an active sales pipeline, manage opportunities and consistently achieve sales targets.

Skills & Experience

• Proven background in outside sales, territory management or business development within industrial markets.

• Experience with rotating equipment, pumps or fluid handling systems is strongly preferred.

• Mechanical seal experience is advantageous but not essential.

• Demonstrated success generating new business through prospecting, relationship development and account acquisition.

• Strong technical aptitude and ability to communicate effectively with engineering, maintenance and operations teams.

• Experience selling directly to industrial end users, ideally alongside distributor relationships.

• Self-motivated, commercially driven and comfortable managing a large geographic territory independently.

• Must be based in Oregon or Washington, ideally with convenient access to a major airport.

Compensation & Benefits

• Total OTE: $120,000–$180,000+, with flexibility for exceptional candidates.

• Base Salary: $60,000.

• Guaranteed Commission Draw: $60,000 for a minimum of two years.

• Commission: Uncapped earnings potential above the guaranteed draw.

• Vehicle Allowance: $800 per month.

• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability and 401(k).

• Travel: Approximately 50% throughout the territory.
