You’ll be responsible for executing all phases of project pursuit and project management from project inception through design, specifications, drawings, bidding phase, job site training and support, final commissioning and after-sale follow up.
BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
Developing relationships and building trust will be key to your success in this role,so it’s essential that you build lasting relationships with the mechanical contractors, engineers, and building/project owners in your territory. This requires spendingtimewith your customers beyond “normal business hours”. It’s important to partner with the Victaulic distributors in your territory and manage a balanced distribution network.

You may find yourself on a job site early in the morning dressed in jeans,boots,and a hard hat, while meeting with some contractors performing a tool demo or conducting a training on proper installation techniques. Later that day you may be doing a lunch and learn presentation for a group of engineers to educate them on our cutting-edge products.
