A Hands-On Service Career with an Established Customer Base
Gurtler Industries is seeking a Commercial Laundry Field Service & Sales Representative to support established commercial laundry customers throughout the Greater Midwest, including Illinois and Indiana territory involving regional travel.
This is primarily a customer service and technical field-support position. Approximately 80% of the role involves servicing existing customer accounts, maintaining automated chemical dispensing systems, troubleshooting equipment, training customer employees, and helping customers improve laundry performance.
