The Role

- Serve as the client’s trusted advisor on facility, throughput, and systems decisions

- Lead account planning, renewals, expansions, and escalation resolution
- Travel to client sites across the U.S. and Canada as needed
What You Bring
- 5+ years in account management or sales within industrial construction, material handling, racking/storage, conveyors/automation, MEP, structural/steel, or capital equipment
- Proven track record growing large industrial or multi-site accounts over time (farmer, not just hunter)
- Technical fluency to credibly discuss racking, automation, throughput, and site logistics on a plant floor
- Strong command of long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and scope-of-work discipline
- Experience coordinating cross-functional delivery teams through project commissioning
- Cross-border (U.S./Canada) experience a strong plus
Why MTLI
