One of our top local HVAC clients has partnered with us to find a proven hunter for their service sales team. They are one of Minnesota’s largest and fastest-growing independent mechanical contractors (Top 5 in service, Top 10 in sheet metal hours statewide). They serve restaurants, convenience stores, data centers, and commercial facilities with HVAC, refrigeration, kitchen equipment, plumbing, and full facility/handyman services – truly a one-stop shop.
This newly created role (growth position, 3rd on the team) owns retention and new revenue across an existing book of accounts while aggressively prospecting for preventative maintenance agreements and small projects. You’ll act as the trusted advisor and liaison between clients and field teams, inheriting house accounts for immediate impact and unlimited upside.
They pay 100% of health/dental/vision for the entire family, and have a great compensation plan landing year 1 employees in the $150k – $200k range, with roadway to $300k+.
They have a high-energy, fun culture with quarterly events, trips throughout the state, and a team that truly enjoys working together.
This is a rare opportunity to join an employee-owned packaging automation integrator that had a record year north of $100M and is still growing fast. The company designs and integrates full sanitary packaging lines for food, dairy, and beverage manufacturers, filler to pallet, and they’re OEM-neutral, so you’re selling what’s right for the customer, not pushing a specific brand. No territories means no ceiling. Projects run $3M to $20M, commissions pay on booking, and the top rep cleared $500K last year. Strong base salary with a draw to bridge the ramp, plus a 25% ESOP contribution that compounds annually. This is a Michigan-based role, but the right candidate can be anywhere in the Midwest with willingness to travel up to 50%.
This isn’t a transactional role. Sales cycles are long, deals are complex, and you’re working directly with plant engineers and operations leads to figure out how to scale a packaging line. You’ll use a Sandler-based process and have application engineering support once an opportunity is qualified. The culture is values-driven, with a strong emphasis on humility, ownership mentality, and playing well with a tight-knit team. If you want real ownership, financial upside, and a seat at the table in a company that genuinely shares its success with employees, this could be the right fit for you!
