If you win deals by understanding engineers, earning trust over time, and positioning capability instead of price, keep reading.

Our client is a well-established, family-owned precision contract manufacturer with a long track record of investment in equipment, quality systems, and long-term customer relationships. They do not chase low-margin, price-driven work. They partner with OEMs that value precision, consistency, and accountability.

They are hiring an experienced Outside Sales Professional to drive new business growth and help expand their footprint in medical, aerospace, and defense manufacturing.

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for a salesperson who:

• Enjoys hunting and building relationships from scratch
• Is comfortable with long sales cycles and delayed gratification
• Can navigate engineers, purchasing, and quality teams
• Wants autonomy and ownership rather than micromanagement
• Takes pride in selling something that is genuinely hard to do well

You will step into a strong manufacturing platform with proven capabilities and leadership support, but you will build your own pipeline.

What You Will Do

• Prospect and develop new OEM relationships in targeted industries
• Sell precision machining and contract manufacturing capabilities
• Work directly with engineers and purchasing teams to quote and win complex work
• Manage opportunities from initial contact through long-term production partnership
• Spend significant time in the field visiting customers and prospects
• Collaborate closely with internal teams on quoting, feasibility, and execution
• Represent the company professionally and credibly in the market

This is a true field sales role, not an inside or transactional position.

What Success Looks Like

• Building a healthy pipeline of qualified OEM opportunities
• Getting designed into programs rather than simply responding to RFQs
• Winning repeatable, long-term production work
• Becoming a trusted partner to customers, not just a vendor
• Growing revenue through relationships, not discounts

What Our Client Is Looking For

Required

• Proven success in B2B outside sales within manufacturing or technical environments
• Experience selling contract manufacturing, precision machining, or custom technical solutions
• Ability to understand engineering drawings and manufacturing requirements
• Strong prospecting and relationship-building skills
• High personal accountability and self-direction
• Willingness to be on-site when not visiting customers

Preferred

• Experience selling into medical, aerospace, or defense OEMs
• Familiarity with precision machining, turned parts, or 5-axis environments
• Existing OEM relationships within targeted industries
• Comfort operating without heavy structure or rigid scripts

Location & Work Style

• Based in the Chicago metro area
• Expected to be on-site full time initially to learn the business
• Increased field time as ramp progresses
• This is not a remote role

Compensation

• Base salary approximately $100,000–$125,000, with bonus
• Ramp support provided due to long sales cycles
• Performance-based upside as the role matures
