Most sales roles talk about “solutions” and “relationships” but revolve around incremental orders and price negotiations. 

This one doesn’t. 

You’ll be selling custom built, fully automated bulk packaging systems with an average order value of $2 million. Every deal is engineered, bespoke, and operationally critical to your customer’s business. 

Your conversations won’t be about discounts. They’ll be about throughput, uptime, safety, ROI, and future-proofing operations. 

The Business 

This is a 150 year old global manufacturer and a genuine thought leader in Form Fill Seal and automated packaging technology. They don’t sell catalogue products. They design, engineer, build, install, and support tailored systems for some of the most demanding industrial environments in the world. 

Their growth ambition in North America is real and this role sits directly in the middle of it. 

What You’ll Gain 

 

• A visible role within a globally respected manufacturer
• Direct support and access to experienced senior leadership
• Professional office space available in Houston if desired
• Autonomy and flexibility in a true field-based position
• Continuous technical and professional development across global sites
• Exposure to innovative, bespoke projects. No two deals are the same
   

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll own the full commercial lifecycle for your territory: 

 

• Developing and executing a strategic sales plan across Houston
• Managing and growing key accounts while identifying new project opportunities
• Leading complex, consultative sales processes from first conversation to contract signature
• Conducting site surveys and working closely with customers to define technical and operational requirements
• Writing and presenting detailed commercial proposals and forecasts
• Negotiating with senior stakeholders across engineering, operations, procurement, and leadership teams
• Working cross functionally with engineering, project delivery, and service teams to ensure flawless execution 
  
   

This is a field-based role with regular customer visits. You’ll manage your own diary, priorities, and pipeline like a professional.

 

What We’re Looking For You’ll bring: 

 

• Proven experience selling capital equipment or high-ticket, project led solutions
• A track record of winning new business and developing key accounts
• Experience selling into petrochemical, fertiliser, agriculture, animal feed, compounds, or salt sectors
• A consultative, relationship-led sales approach
• Strong commercial acumen and exceptional communication skills
• Understanding of automated machinery, engineered systems, or industrial technology
• A mechanical engineering or automation background (advantageous) 
  
   

This is a rare opportunity to help scale a global manufacturing powerhouse across North America, while working on technically complex, commercially significant projects that genuinely matter to customers. If that excites you apply directly!
