Location: United States -  Remote (field-based; approximately 50-75% travel)
Preferred Location: Gulf Coast Region – Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama
Reports To: Director of Sales - North America & Europe

Who We Are 
We are looking for a driven, technically minded professional to take ownership of UE Systems' Gulf Coast sales territory, develop new business, and help industrial organizations improve the reliability, efficiency, and safety of their operations.

This is an opportunity to combine your technical knowledge with consultative sales, customer relationships, and territory growth. You will have the independence to build your sales pipeline, win new customers, grow existing accounts, and introduce innovative ultrasound solutions while becoming a trusted advisor to maintenance and reliability professionals across the region.

You do not need a traditional sales background to succeed in this role. We welcome professionals whose experience is primarily in industrial maintenance, reliability, predictive maintenance (PdM), field applications, technical training, or technical service. If you can earn trust on the plant floor, explain technical findings clearly, and are motivated to develop new business and build customer relationships, UE Systems will provide the sales training, product knowledge, tools, and ongoing support to help you confidently manage the sales process and succeed in growing your territory.

Ideally, this position will be based in Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama to effectively support our Gulf Coast territory.

Our People 
They Own Their Day: We do not micro-manage. Our team understands the outcome, makes disciplined decisions, and communicates early when priorities, risks, or constraints change.

They Believe in a Team Approach: No one is expected to be a master of everything. We rely on each other, bring different strengths to the table, and build better systems together.

They Always Look Through a Customer Lens: Every process we build should make it easier to serve the customer accurately, reliably, and on time.
