Job Description

Description :

  • Possible training locations for this role include but are not limited to Greensboro, NC; Richmond, VA; Lakeland, FL; Memphis, TN; Columbus, MS; Detroit, MI.

About Tencarva : Founded in 1978, with roots dating back to 1926, Tencarva is an equipment distributor, engineering and design partner, and full-service repair center. Serving thousands of customers across the industrial and municipal segments, Tencarva's various divisions cover 17 states and provide end-to-end, tailored solutions for complex systems within the fluid / solids handling and water / wastewater sectors. Our service offerings include system analysis and design, application engineering, custom fabrication of equipment packages, automation and controls, equipment repair, and thermal hard coatings. tencarva.com

Summary : Our Sales Engineer Trainees are assigned to one of our branches and train under established Sales Engineers for 9-18 months. In this role, the Trainee will assist the Sales Engineer team by performing application engineering and providing quotations for a wide variety of process pumping and liquid handling equipment. The SE Trainee will partner with Sales Engineers to investigate our customers' mechanical problems and systems failures, then recommend the proper equipment and design to provide a solution that aligns with the unique needs of our customers' operations - based on many variables, including flow rate, viscosity, temperature, pressure, pH, budget, etc. As a consultative, field-based technical sales role, every day is different because we're working with customers across every industry imaginable. After a suitable period of training (typically 1+ year), the Trainee will be given the opportunity to take on his / her own territory.

Tencarva Sales Engineers are allowed almost unlimited latitude for personal initiative and engineering imagination - as well as uncapped earning potential. It is a very entrepreneurial role, as the Sales Engineer is essentially the General Manger of his / her territory. Although success in the Sales Engineer role is measured by sales growth, margins, and profitability in the assigned territory / defined customer base, this is not a high-pressure sales environment . On the contrary, our customers rely on us as trusted advisors and business partners to help solve their problems by providing equipment packages, application recommendations, and whole-system design solutions. For nearly 50 years, Tencarva has been committed to fostering long-term relationships and providing a "white glove" customer experience to industrial and municipal markets all across the eastern US.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following :

  • Call on personnel at every level of industrial and municipal operations, from technicians and operators to engineers, architects, managers, and even GMs. Provide process solutions and application advice on our extensive line of products and packages.
  • Call on engineering firms who service our end-user customer base, conducting informational training sessions on our products and their application.
  • Review blueprints, plans, PID drawings, and other customer documents to develop and prepare cost estimates or projected increases in production from the client’s use of proposed equipment or services.
  • Draw up or propose changes in equipment, processes, or use of materials, resulting in cost reduction or improvement in operations.
  • Establish long-term relationships with our customers by gaining their trust and confidence through the proper application of our products.
  • Provide technical services to clients relating to the use, operation, and maintenance of equipment.
  • Provide technical training to our customers' employees.
  • Attend manufacturer training sessions for products represented
  • Proactive planning and execution of sales calls / customer visits
  • Maintain an accurate forecast of your business potentials with your customers and the manufacturers we represent
  • Territory planning and overall business strategy planning
  • Grow territory by increasing penetration of existing accounts and developing new accounts.
  • Compensation : Competitive pay as Trainee. Once Trainee receives a sales territory, the compensation opportunities are significantly higher at Tencarva than in a classical Engineering role with a manufacturer or engineering firm.

    Benefits Include :

  • Paid Time off, including 10 holidays
  • Bonuses
  • Health Insurance, including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life
  • 401(k) & Profit Sharing
  • Employee Assistance Program
