Industrial Sales Representative - Compressed Air - Charlotte, NC

About the role

Charlotte, NC sits at the center of one of the fastest-growing industrial and commercial corridors in the Southeast — a diverse market fueled by manufacturing, distribution, food processing, and advanced industrial production across the Carolinas. UAPC, a business unit within OTC Industrial Technologies' Air Supply segment, is looking for a driven Industrial Sales Representative to own it. This is a true greenfield opportunity — you'll develop the territory, establish new customer relationships, and shape your own book of business with full autonomy and the support you need to succeed. If you're entrepreneurial, customer-focused, and ready to grow, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

What's In It For You

- Strong Six-Figure Earning Potential: Base salary plus an uncapped commission plan. - Greenfield Territory with Huge Potential: Build your own customer base from scratch with the full backing of OTC's resources, training, and support behind you - Vehicle Reimbursement Program: Stay focused on the territory, not the overhead - Streamlined CRM Tools: Spend more time selling and less time on admin - Strong Training & Support: Hands-on product and systems training to make you a trusted technical advisor - Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, vision + 401(k) with 50% match up to 6%, unlimited PTO, tuition assistance, and clear corporate career advancement support

Who Thrives Here

- The Builder: Energized by starting from zero — you see a greenfield territory as an opportunity, not a risk, and you know how to turn a blank slate into a book of business. - The Self-Starter: You don't need a manager to tell you to pick up the phone. You set your own pace, hold yourself accountable, and bring urgency to every day. - The Trusted Advisor: Customers come back to you because you listen first, understand their operations, and recommend solutions that actually work — not just whatever moves product. - The Team Player: You compete hard externally and collaborate fully internally — working productively with regional resources, vendors, and associates to deliver for your customers
