Job description
Territory Sales Manager, Industrial Sensors and Automation
Charlotte, NC | Field-based, home office | North Texas territory
Precision Sales Recruiting is hiring on behalf of a global manufacturer of industrial sensors, controls, and condition monitoring technology. Their products run on production lines across food and beverage, plastics, packaging, metal fabrication, building products, aerospace, and energy equipment, and inside the machines built by the OEMs serving those industries.
This is a field sales seat, not a phone seat. You will be on plant floors with maintenance and reliability managers, controls engineers, and OEM design teams, finding where downtime and manual inspection are costing them money, then engineering the solution that fixes it.
Why this territory
Manufacturing capacity is still moving into Texas. New plants and new lines mean greenfield specification work, not just replacement business, and the machine builder base around the metroplex is deep. You inherit an installed base to grow and real whitespace to open.
What you will do
Own revenue, pipeline, and forecast
Call directly on manufacturing plants and OEM machine builders
Walk production lines to identify sensing, connectivity, and condition monitoring applications
Build project pipeline from single-sensor trials to plant-wide rollouts
Get specified early with OEMs so the standard follows the machine into the field
Grow existing accounts into new lines, plants, and divisions
Prospect and open new accounts in target industries
Pull in application engineers and product specialists on technical opportunities
Keep CRM activity and forecasting current
What you need
3+ years of B2B sales calling on manufacturing plants or industrial customers
Consultative, application-based selling, not transactional order taking
Comfort on a plant floor and in a technical conversation with an engineer
A record of opening new accounts, not only servicing existing ones
Home base in Charlotte, NC
Strongly preferred
Sensors, automation, controls, instrumentation, motion, or related industrial components
Experience selling to both end-user plants and OEM machine builders
Technical or engineering degree, or equivalent hands-on industrial background
Familiarity with PLCs, industrial networking, IO-Link, or condition monitoring
Compensation and benefits
Base salary: $127,000 to $145,000
OTE $180,000
Incentive and commission plan on top of base
Company car
Full benefits, family-owned culture, strong work-life balance
Direct product experience is not required. Strong industrial sellers from adjacent categories succeed here.
