We’ve partnered with a family-owned, debt-free carbon flat roll steel company to find an outside sales rep for the Dallas area. They’ve never had a layoff, and they focus on one thing: hot rolled and pickled sheet, with more inventory on hand than the competition and delivery in a day or two, not a week or two.
This is a true run-your-own-territory seat. You’ll spend three days a week in front of customers and two working from your home office. Management acts as a resource, not a babysitter. They’ll hunt down steel, jump on customer calls and back you up, but they won’t micromanage. You’ll get a list of prospect names to call, and you’ll do best if you already have Texas relationships and a book you can bring with you.
Compensation is a strong base + uncapped commission based on every ton you sell, paid quarterly. You’ll also get a car allowance, phone, computer, health insurance and a 401(k) match.

SkyWater is excited to be partnering again with a growing cooperative in the Twin Cities looking to add an Accounting Manager to their team!
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad, hands-on role for an experienced accounting professional who is comfortable owning the full accounting cycle from start to finish. This person will oversee one direct report and take ownership of the month-end close, financial reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, AR/AP, member accounting, compliance and audit, while also serving as a key accounting resource across the organization.
They’re looking for 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience independently owning a full month-end close and strong knowledge across the financial statements. Hands-on experience with compliance, audit and broader accounting operations is important, along with management experience. While experience with their specific accounting system isn’t required, they do want someone who has worked within and can quickly learn more robust accounting systems.
Beyond the technical accounting, they want someone who enjoys operating in a smaller-company environment – someone who can jump into the details, connect the dots across the business, improve processes and partner comfortably with people outside of accounting. There’s also a newer business line that could bring additional inventory and entity complexity as it grows, creating plenty of opportunity for this role to evolve.
